This is the exact reason why they didn’t want to release Lucas. A bunch of athletes signed this ridiculous assss contract, which is 90% one way and also locks them into that school for two years. No way if the athletes were legally represented by an agent or a lawyer, would they Advise them to sign such a contract. And what probably happened the moment Lucas went into the portal, they knew they were going to have an issue because a bunch of other athletes were gonna be like “wait a minute I thought we couldn’t transfer”?

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if the Tampering allegation has to do with the fact that Lucas figured out that the contract was bull**** and they assume that the only way he could’ve figured that out was if he had legal representation and they’re probably claiming that Miami helped him.

Now a bunch of lawyers and agents are looking at that MOU and slamming wisky and the entire conference all over social media for making players sign that sht.

The hypocrisy of giving schools the ability to increase or decrease the player’s pay based on performance while still saying it isn’t pay for play? People should be ashamed of themselves for writing and enforcing this.

It's kinda cool that this isn't just a win for us getting the player. It's more of a win win, got the player AND exposed the dirty **** the big was pulling on student athletes. I really hope this blows up in their faces.

some of you don't like agents, but the is THE EXACT reason these kids need one ... this is a creative way to lock a kid into a contract for two years and decide to "increase or decrease" their revenue based on their metric (whatever that is)

Many college professors get pensions.

Will this new class of college employee qualify for them?

Of course. The MOU as it is written doesn’t allow for the athletes to give the agents a cut.

But also, no, no one with half a brain would advise a client in good faith to sign this without making sure they are fully aware, informed, and consenting to the risks and power imbalance. The schools are banking on the fact that the kids are seeing stars and are being assured they are going to start and don’t truly understand the duties of all parties involved. It’s a disgusting move from an educational institution promoting itself as a nonprofit.

I think every agent will because the universities have the unilateral power to increase or more importantly, decrease compensation based on performance. Not good for the player, but also not good for the agent who is working on a percentage of the overall compensation.

Great minds think alike 😉

Even further- at the schools discretion.

No one I mean no one has deescalation clauses like we are seeing in sports or media or entertainment based on performance. Baselines with eslators/incentives. Cleary defined.

How much is 1 billion percent yes.


Let me be really clear. If Miami is trying to insert this kind of language as well (not all) then that is bull**** as well.

The part about lowering payments at their discretion is laughably pathetic.

I’m almost stunned how one sided this template is. It’s heinous.
Doubt it would stand up in court with any decent representation. I can’t believe all their lawyers put together something so blatantly unfair.

It’s ****ed and I’ve seen some really ****ed up “mutually beneficial and fair” agreements before and even those ******** would be- wow this is ****ed

That’s why I don’t understand why they could possibly try to get away with this. They had to know it would get challenged at some point. These people are not idiots. So what else don’t we know yet?

Edit: are —> aren’t
