Wisconsin accuses Miami of tampering

[mirvin88]

Miami is just adding a qualification line to their resume for their SEC application.

When NIL was instituted they became players first students second, haven't you noticed. Not complaining it only makes since.

But in theory these were endorsement deals by non school entities. Not the schools themselves.

It’s great seeing Canes cast in the role of champion for player rights.

We can all clown Wisky for the utter nonsense of this whole thing but the fact is there is a 19 page thread on our board about it. Bad press is better than no press. They’ve accomplished their goal of staying relevant.

On a grand scale though, who’s getting more pub? Us or them? If Wisconsin said Clemson did this it would be buried. Why isn’t it? Not Wisconsin. Al Golden said a lot of dumb ****. But one wasn’t calling Miami the most recognizable brand in CFB.

Meh

This entire saga feels very much like we went to use the bathroom in the back of an Italian restaurant and opened the wrong door to something we weren't supposed to see.

We need to take Jeremiah Smith from Ohio State and REALLY watch that conference have a melt down.

The Big 10 desires to stand behind the Ohio Taint and MeetChicken for their ethical practices in NIL and the portal…and if we can back the $EC when they aren’t in our way, Minnesota and Wisconsin are our first priority,

This feels like one of those Holiday Inn commercials.

Tomorrow I'm going to wake up and head to court, I'm not a lawyer, but I read it last night on CIS.

 

[stormsurge]

Ya Honor,

I'd like to call to the stand one Mr Robert Petrino, a man done viciously and permanently injured by the reckless and irresponsible actions of one mario cristobal

Technically, tampering is not an employment term. It’s a contract term. There can be tampering without an employer-employee relationship, but there cannot be tampering without a contractual relationship.

 

[Gsugradcanefan]

If they had credible information they would have released it already or the lawyers for Wisconsin would have filed suit. They have nothing. This is just a foolish, futile attempt to get the public on their side to change the narrative from them being the bad guy by not letting Xavier Lucas transfer.

That’s because they don’t have a marquee program like Miami. UM sells out stadiums everywhere (except in Miami, ironically).

UM wouldn’t burn that bridge unless it had something else up its sleeve.

Coincidence that Bezos looking to buy a team and now lives in Miami? Miss Cleo sees all

Don't forget about my man Mr. Citadel himself Mr. Ken Griffin, who I believe already gave some money to UM

Wisconsin never got the memo that you want no part ‘s of Miami in the offseason. Trying to come at UM between Jan -August is like having a casket match with the Undertaker. We’re in the midst of a dynasty.

Teddy Long just showed up in Fickell’s office - you got the undertaker, playa!!

Not crazy. It’s also fascinating to watch all these lawyers chime in with legal thoughts and I have yet to see one that says UW has a case. In fact most of them seem to be insinuating this could backfire on them.

It was quite obvious to us attorneys even before seeing the MOU that they were taking advantage of these kids.

Contract law also is supposed to provide for equity and fairness. This may be one of the clearest examples of unjust enrichment I’ve seen since law school. I really am baffled by what they were thinking; the arrogance is astounding. If there isn’t more to the story then…wow.

 

[mirvin88]

Do you expect Miami to acknowledge and respond publicly?

I wouldn’t if I were them. Wisconsin and the BIG are a snake eating its own tail right now. The PR stunt is backfiring, most discussion I see are against their stance here and that Miami/Lucas did nothing wrong. Sit back and just watch the show.

 

[mirvin88]

Anyone know if UM has a seriously beefed up compliance dept with serious people? If we are going to brawl with the Big 10, I hope we are ready to knock them the **** out.

They’re knocking themselves the **** out banging their head against a table. There’s a reason they didn’t want to release a redacted copy stating it could hurt the school. Now we’ve seen what is very likely close to what Lucas signed, and it’s ******* trash.
