Xavier Lucas in the portal

From Badger Extra

The University of Wisconsin football team is in the midst of an off-field battle that could have ramifications for all of college football.
Cornerback Xavier Lucas tweeted Friday that the program was holding up his application to enter the transfer portal. BadgerExtra sources contend that Lucas had a signed deal in place with the program and the Badgers believe Lucas must honor it.

Lucas signed his agreement in December, sources said, after the end of the season and before he returned home to Pompano Beach, Florida. Lucas first tweeted he intended to transfer Dec. 19. Sources said that neither Lucas nor anyone from his camp responded to calls or messages from Wisconsin coaches and staff members for days following Lucas’ initial announcement.

Wisconsin’s student-athlete handbook states that the compliance office will enter a player’s information into the portal within two business days of submitting the paperwork. There have been six business days since Lucas’ announcement, but it isn’t clear when his paperwork was submitted. There is not a bylaw specifically allowing Wisconsin to delay or prevent Lucas’ entry into the portal if he indeed does meet the requirements of transfer and has completed the proper steps to transfer.

The exact nature of the deal Lucas signed and the parties involved weren’t disclosed. Rob Master — the executive chair of The Varsity Collective, which supports Badgers athletes through name, image and likeness payments — said Friday he had no comment. An email sent to Lucas' mother wasn't immediately returned Friday.

Lucas, a former four-star recruit, played in 11 games for the Badgers this fall and tallied 18 tackles, a sack, an interception and two pass breakups. He didn’t appear in the season finale against Minnesota. Lucas split snaps with senior Nyzier Fourqurean at the boundary cornerback spot and played special teams.

They’re ****ed if so. Completely illegal. X should transfer here and still sue Wisconsin for damages, having been prevented from negotiating deals the past week.

So Wisconsin cutting off their nose to spite their face? Taking a 'moral' stand?
Seems logical that the kid may have assured Fickell of his return, signed a new deal and collected funds that otherwise would not be available, then is attempting to bolt. If that's the case, he literally wants to take the money and run. And this possible scenario is presumably perfectly legal in today's NIL era. Understandable that Wisky would be ****ed if that's the case. Seems unjust, but hasn't that been the case when universities and coaches have cashed-in without compensating players for like forever? Shoes on the other foot now, though loopholes apparently need to be closed.

Not sure he’s taking money and running. Assume he hasn’t received any or all of the agreed upon money. Also, I’m sure Coach Fickell is aware coaches sign contracts all the time that some later walk away from.

I don't know any other way to say this, and I encourage everyone to do their own research by reading the recent articles on Fickell and Wisconsin and the exodus of players (as well as the Wisconsin boards).

FICKELL IS INTENTIONALLY BEING AN *******. AND TRYING TO BLAME EVERYONE ELSE FOR HIS PROBLEMS.

Xavier Lucas is not the first or the last player to flee Fickell and Wisconsin. And instead of the Wisconsin administration and fanbase accepting and acknowledging that fact, Fickell has begun to peddle the bull**** (and the Wisconsin fans are eating up the bull****) that Comical Villain Miami has swooped in to **** with poor little Wiscahnsin (in what must certainly be a delayed revenge tactic over the loss of TVD).

Now, follow along with me and learn a little bit about how a false narrative is constructed.

Everything was perfect in Cheeseland. All of the Wisconsin players loved the snow and the Paranos-women and the .500 record. Suddenly, Mario Cristobal appeared from behind his black cape, twirling his handlebar mustache. He offered MONEY to Xavier Lucas. In doing so, all of the virginal Wisconsin players learned of the existence of "N.I.L", and they started asking for more money. Some found more money at other schools. Some forced Wisconsin to pay them this evil thing known as "fair market value", because they are greedy ******** who didn't want to risk life and limb for the glorious "full scholarship" compensation.

Regardless, the evil Mario Cristobal triggered an exodus and/or overpayment of altar-boy Wisconsin players. And then, to make matters worse, even AFTER Xavier Lucas signed his glorious 3% cost-of-living-adjustment NIL deal, the evil Miami minions CONTINUED TO CONVERSE with Xavier Lucas, using methods such as hypnosis and sodium pentathol, until Xavier Lucas finally cracked and made the obvious mistake to submit Portal paperwork. At that point, Big Daddy Fickell stepped in to save Xavier Lucas from himself, and Wisconsin excecuted a serious of increasingly bizarre "administrative oversights" to prevent the clearly erroneous Portal paperwork from ever making it to the hands of the NCAA.

And Xavier Lucas was grateful for Big Daddy FIckell looking out for his best interest, no matter what Miami tells you. And pay no attention to Xavier's hiring of an attorney, those are not the droids you are looking for. This saga is a huge win for the lily-white and stain-free game of college football, which has never ripped off its players for the past century, and which was certainly going to pay Ed O'Bannon a lot of money for the NCAA video games, if only he had asked nicely.

Yep, it's those greedy-greedy players (but not the innocent Wisconsin players) and those evil evil colleges in places like Miami-murder-capital that are destroying our wonderful game of unpaid-college-football that we have come to love and profit from.

Now, no matter what you think of my dramatic summation of the situation, I can guaran-*******-tee you that Fickell is trying to blame everyone else but himself for the collapsing Wisconsin football program, and the "it can't possibly be us, we've done nothing wrong" Wisconsin fanbase are eating the nuts out of Fickell's ****.

As I recently told another poster, it doesn't matter what the truth is. It only matters that they BELIEVE THE LIE. Because that is what allows them to clutch their pearls and get all huffy about suing a 19 year old kid, instead of blaming Toxic Luke Fickell.

Will this narrative win out in a courtroom battle? **** no. But the truth doesn't matter. Wisconsin (coaches, admins, fans) are mad as **** and they aren't going to take it anymore. At least that's what they believe, and if sitting on a Portal application and rattling their legal sabers are going to make them feel better about their miserable, cheesy lives, then they are **** sure committed to going down this highway to ****.

I can’t remember which thread it was posted but it stated he signed a new contract but hadn’t received a payment yet but that was early in the process.

Just wondering, if he did take money when he resigned, why doesn't Miami pay it back on his behalf ala the Jaden Rashada fiasco. if I'm remembering correctly John Ruiz paid something like150k to Jaden when he committed to Miami, when he flipped to the Turds, the Turds paid back the initial payment.

To be honest, at first I thought they're pushing this because Christmas is around and people are on vacation and that's why they can't submit it.

But they actually want to push something legally here. Unreal.

Exactly! What makes it even worse is that they have about 20 other dudes that’s bolted but this one is the exception
