CB Xavier Lucas is transferring to Miami

[Bender]

which is why I seriously doubt they'll escalate any of this out of fear of the specifics coming to light (especially before spring portal window)

Oh the template is out. There was an article published with the template sourced from a different Big Ten team. Apparently the language is very similar.

Wisconsin kept exposing themselves by publicly stating they signed a NIL deal with a player. They can't do that, that's not legal. And that's not a tricky bylaw, it's basic knowledge.

Essentially the meat and potatoes of this, is that UW would own his NIL, give him a share (figure provided in the contract) but they’re able to sell those rights to a third party and the player doesn’t see any of that money? Am I reading that right? Also at their discretion, they can raise or lower the original amount (somehow the player is not an employee)? What a round about way of saying it’s performance based…

Sounds like the BIG is planning to royally ***** these kids and probably profit themselves off their NIL.

Not a good luck. SEC is sleazy, but can’t imagine they’d attempt to ***** players like this.

Question for the CIS lawyers: Since Wisconsin and the Big Ten don't want the template out, and assuming Lucas has a copy, is there anything legally stopping Lucas and Heitner from publishing it on Twitter?

Someone can post it anonymously and Lucas can claim he left it in his car and someone took a picture through the window.

I'm waiting for this "credible" evidence of tampering to drop. Sounds like grasping at straws.

The tampering accusation is a MacGuffin

 

[TheOriginalCane]

They're gonna claim Miami tampered because Lucas never officially went into the transfer portal.

That would be the icing on the cake.

Well, they have a two-tiered tampering claim.

First, they are claiming Miami tampered BEFORE Xavier Lucas notified Wisconsin that he was going to enter the Portal. For some reason, they believe there is NO OTHER POSSIBLE REASON for Xavier Lucas wanting to come to Miami, but for the tampering.

Second, they are saying we continued to communicate. This is the part they rendered problematic by unreasonably withholding his Portal entry.

Nope. Although they would likely do so in a redacted format, which I'm fine with.

Has there been any noise from agents about this matter? If my non legal brain is reading that template correctly why would any young man go play in the big10 if none of the other p4 conferences have instituted such bs.

This seems like they (big10) may have to go PR control on this template

FIFY

 

[mirvin88]

Exactly. Treat him like a private contractor but want to own him like an employee...

Using Ward as an example. He would’ve received only his initial ~~2 mil but his (cologne, shoe?) deals Miami would’ve received 100% of? Sounds predatory.

SIAP

That’s text book defamation.

Whoever that dude is should pre-prep his **** with eggplants and pineapples.

I’m sure this is why Wisconsin and the conference have come out strong supporting the situation and immediately diverting attention to tampering.

If we know about it, it's out. This may be the double edged sword alluded to a few weeks back regarding Wisconsin.

 

[Ispyin]

And why hasn’t any other player had issues transferring out? Is Wisconsin picking and choosing when to enforce their BS contract?

Though I highly doubt it, it is possible Xavier is the only one of them to have already been given their new so-called contract to sign as he apparently only signed it a couple of days before the portal announcement and he did not enter the portal right away on day one

I’m not defending their bull**** to be clear. I’m just putting an explanation out.
