Seems like Wisconsin is implying Miami contacted this kid and he signed some binding agreement with them. Thus Miami tampered with him. Which we couldn’t have, since his agreement wasn’t binding. The whole thing is dumb as ****.

The loser here won’t be Miami. Sure, we could unlikely lose a good player. But if the kid has to go elsewhere it could make his life more difficult than needed. Wisconsin has now done irreparable damage to their program by choosing to die on this hill. Just makes no sense.

Right. It’s very strange considering at best what we did is not nearly as bad as what they did, and they have to know that. What are they really trying to accomplish?

To use a wrestling analogy, how WCW is rumored to have tampered with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash in 1996. They used a friend employed by WCW to be the intermediary and gauge interest of the WWF contracted wrestlers.

Nash admitted when he first left WCW for WWE( Coulda been WWF still) he was contacted by WWE in some capacity and walked in to Ole Anderson, asked for his release and Ole just said yea... Voided his contract right there and Kevin went to WWE . Apparently Ole saw nothing in Kevin. Talk about mis judgment....

If you sign a prenup with your fiancée but you leave her for another chick before you get married, are you still under the prenup? Cuz that’s what it seems like they are saying lol

Seems like their bigger argument is to protect the standard contract their entire conference is using. Trying to scare other kids from bailing under the same argument.

Bingo. Why else would the B10 also make a statement? Conferences never get involved with this petty stuff. But they used a B10 agreement here.

Conference got ****y before the House made its vote, and now they’re scared.

Any attorney worth their money, would not be ranting on Twitter! This guy is making me worried!

He’s not ranting, he’s educating. Lots of sports law experts do this stuff. Michael McCann is another one. Heitner is very professional and I’ve followed him for probably 10-12 years. Trust me, it’s more like journalists on Twitter than a crazy John Ruiz. This is what these guys do.

One other note - someone said we might lose Lucas, but I’m trying to think of how that could even happen. What’s UW going to do? Get an injunction against us to enforce their pay for play MOU that wasn’t legal yet? How would the NCAA rule him ineligible when they say there is no transfer portal? Any other attorneys have any thoughts?
