Wisconsin accuses Miami of tampering


What if the University of Miami identified a student who excelled in academics, a top performer in - let’s say - marine biology who happened to be at the University of Wisconsin. What if a professor reached out to that individual and said, “Our facilities are much more robust at Miami. You could accomplish far more in the field of marine biology here than in Wisconsin.”

Is that tampering with a student?

For all this nonsense right now, the BiG is still a better fit than the ACC. Tobacco Road can go F themselves.

The more I read about this the more I don’t think it’s about Lucas at all but creating the perception of enforceability of their toilet paper MOU to deter other athletes from trying to transfer. I also think it’s going to end badly for bother Wisky and the BiG.

Surprised schools like Northwestern and Michigan want to sully their name with this mess.

Michigan? Me-cheat-again?

They're on that top tier of full-fledged scumbags with OSU, Notre Dame and Penn State.

Just because we haven't had the same sort of rivalry or recruiting history against them doesn't change who they are. ****, the typical Michigan alum would make a Harvard Law School graduate seem humble in comparison

Let’s see if the ACC comes to our defense because the Big 10 is involved.
BTW Lucas has a lawyer involved too.
Yeah this is what I’m curious to see.

Not because I think anything will come of this and we’ll actually need ACC’s support. But more so to see whether the ACC wants to try to swing their tiny little peen and publicly critique the B1G for attempting to slander them. At the end of the day, the B1G publicly called out the ACC in an attempt to embarrass them.

Curious to see if the ACC shoots back. Or if they just sit back, stay quiet, and let it all play out.

Why? It's been stated that UWs contract is not enforceable until the house settlement, it's all positioning until then trying to make sure they dont get killed upon a rulings with transfers. Countersuit is from Lucas with proof that Wisconsin willingly and knowingly prevented him from entering the portal because he signed a prospective contract that is a pay for play (while that still isn't legal), and breaking NCAA by laws. Wisconsin is just hoping someone at Miami or the ACC tells the kid sorry you're ineligible for two years now or go back to Wisconsin and be eligible.

On top of it, unless they have recorded phone calls of Miami staff contacting him or a UW email of Lucas receiving a message saying Miami would take you and we have a healthy NIL package for you, they have nothing. The NCAA has already ruled saying if a kid decides to go this route of unenrolling and enrolling elsewhere they aren't breaking any bylaws. UW is just trying to get someone somewhere to help "fix the NCAA" since they can't compete with the new model and the way it's headed.
It seems to me that they wouldn't dig their heels in like this unless they had some proof?

But even if they did, what’s the difference between a UM professor contacting a Wisconsin marine biology student and a theoretical UM player contacting Xavier Lucas? Both the WI marine biology prodigy and Xavier Lucas are students. Neither are employees. What have colleges called players since the 1990s? Student athletes. Emphasis on student.

We could offer to let PhD candidates collectively bargain right along side our athletes and really see if the B1G can dodge a wrench.

I wouldn’t necessarily say anyone has their heels dug in yet. Those statements last night are irrelevant and only meant to combat the PR nightmare they were exposed to.

Until they file an actual lawsuit, it’s all talk.

Tampering claims- 2 or 3 schools make a stink every cycle about tampering and any punishment is low level at best. I doubt ncaa gets involved for tampering because then they have to enforce their own portal rules against UW and address the BS contract UW had an athlete sign.
 
But if the contract terms promised payment at (x) future date, would it not still apply?

I think this is a matter now of someone wanting/needing to be in another location, and no one can make a college student stay in a school when he doesn't want to be there.

Who wants a player that doesn't want to play there? He's a risk. He can make a team/university weep by letting plays go by him, committing intentional fouls at very inopportune times - on and on.

A student athlete wants to leave - get him the hail out of there and try to find someone who wants to be there.

Probably sit it out.. bc.. it’s Us,.. Miami. Any other school they jump in. But, bc we’re hated in our own conference. These B*t*he’s will “Et Tu Brute” the Canes at every and any turn. Especially now at this point in our rebuild. Their fear of us becoming a monster again and for their self preservation overrides any concern to protect the ACC. Spineless C**ts.if I’m wrong so be it, but based on history not holding my breath.

Unfortunately the same things that make you laugh can make you cry, if Wisconsin is dead set on pursuing this then this could ultimately blow up in our faces. Saying that tampering happens all the time doesn't make it legal. If they choose to spend the money/resources to pursue this til the end it may not be so funny. We are Miami after all. IJS
lol So what? even if they could prove tampering what’s the penalty a week recruiting ban slap on the wrist ? It’s absolutely funny that out of ALL the players that have transferred THIS is player that they chose to die on this hill for lol he’s a good young player no doubt but they’re treating him like a 99 overall un losable talent lol cause it’s Miami if he was transferring to Bama we wouldn’t have heard a peep

Not Harvard Law grad, but majored in Statistics and Probabilities, and yes I've had a run in or two with a couple of Michigan grads, and they act like it's nothing short of a parade of Rhodes Scholars who attend their school.

Yes, they are as establishment as it gets. OSU, ND, Michigan - peas in a pod. The only thing they have in common with us is the letters.
 
Let it be noted that the BIG stands behind the Wisconsin's actions over the past month.

They have no choice. They are the ones that structured these contracts that are based on things they hope will happen and that attempt to circumvent NCAA bylaws. They are the ones with egg on their faces and probably getting pressure from Wisconsin.

The bottom line is revenue sharing was just ruled completely insignificant and in no way what they were offering these kids. Since they ruled it has to be shared equally across athletes and sports, there is no reason to think it ever will be significant. All they are doing now is trying to increase the revenue available for sharing, right now its capped at like 20 mill. Even If they increase that 10xs. That means they might be able to offer the star QB 20K but you know who else gets 20K? The male cheerleader... LOL
