Am I crazy in thinking no football player should ever sign this?

What even is the upside from revenue sharing for these players? We are talking about selling bitcoin for a pizza levels of risk.

Exactly. Some kid could get a tiny piece of this big pie, go on a Heisman campaign and only the school profits from the endorsements from it.

The only upside I can think of, is the opportunity to make a lot more money than they would without signing

Wisconsin May end up getting into trouble with the NCAA by not entering Lucius in the portal…Karma
 
Some parts of that draft template document they haven’t released or been reported on make total sense, some of them I am not well-versed enough in to comment on, and other parts I have tons of experience dealing with similar aspects with artists brands media athletes etc. any competent lawyer would never allowed multiple parts kc this happen, especially the arbitrary reason up or down of payments within the terms of an agreement.

Never seen deescalation clause on performance (that would come during a renegotiation), only floors with escalation on performance.

It’s total bull****, and I would say the same thing if we find out the ACC and Miami has those aspects in as well. Any average attorney with a P/NIL knowledge would never allow that in like that

I don’t put my full background out here all the time but let’s just say the things I’m referencing involve people in town and brands you’ve never heard of as well as some of the most talent and brands in the entire world.

For those about to rock…

As the old saying goes, ‘how you do anything is how you do everything.’ And with that, I now have zero respect for that school in Madison, WI. Terrible way to handle a situation all the way around.

Grossly unfair to the student athlete, and downright bush league. If I’m the B1G commissioner, I’d penalize them for embarrassing my conference by being such pussies.

And that’s why it’s complete crap. These schools and the conference have all their lawyers and money on their side, versus these kids and their parents, many (most) of whom don’t have the resources to get the contract reviewed by their own attorneys. They are just being bullied into signing it, seeing dollar signs, not knowing that it’s a raw deal.

The nerve of UW to call themselves the victim. It really ****es me off. My mama bear claws are coming out.

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.

I've been told that the one-sided contractual terms arose from the Big 10, and that Wisconsin added the 2-year "grant of rights" bull****.

Oh that’s interesting. So Wisconsin’s MOU may also differ from other schools’?

Both are bull****, and I still think both parties are very scared and know they ****ed up.

But I also think that this is just the beginning, and there is more that will come out. Not about Lucas, but what the other schools are doing, and what the conference wants to protect. No one pushes that hard, that quickly, to try to change the narrative towards a scapegoat party unless they are scared.
