Xavier Lucas in the portal

[Mr Anon]

From what I have seen, Wisconsin has released 26 players into the portal including some that were starters that outsnapped Lucas. It appears from Wisconsin sources that Xavier Lucas signed an NIL deal that included an up front payment (something like $500k). Wisconsin wants him to honor his deal or return the fronted money. Miami potentially tampering is not part of that disagreement. Both sides refusing to budge. Isn’t it always about the $$$$

Yes. We know. We also know that a collective cannot hold up the transfer of a player. And we know that a collective and a team cannot act as one. Hence the rules against pay for play. But for some reason, it doesn’t seem like anybody in Wisconsin is aware of this.

If true, he should give up the money, thats crazy. I find it hard to believe tho. Athletes I know even when they renegotiated large deals were getting deposits monthly. Unless they signed him for 5 mil and he getting 500k for next 10 months or something, which we all know is not true.

So the school is acting on behalf of the collective?

nah. the school or we should say the coach hasnt submitted his paperwork which is BS. the collective (what they mean when they say wisconsin in this case) is demanding repayment or to complete performance but they are separate.

Would people say the same if we were doing it?

 

[Problem2]

So the school is blackmailing him on behalf of the collective lol

That up front number seems aggressive. As though it was purposeful for this situation if true.

Because if true and Miami was expected to pay for a starting corner and a $500k buyout I'd understand the hang up.

theyd probably be defending us doing it and blame it on the scummy kids

Here, probably. But I'm sure the NCAA wouldn't.

Is the portal still open?

Not for Wisky

 

[PUNCICANE]

Did the kid actually cash a new collective check and then ride out?

Not for Wisky

I would think if Xavier actually did submit his paperwork in the correct window and UW refused to process it, they will eventually have to put him in even though the window is closed. Or else all schools would do this.

This all been so messed up! Hopefully resolved soon for Portal. NIL case will continue.

Exactly. From the NCAA's perspective, it's irrelevant if the Badgers Collective fronted him $1.5B for the 2025 season. It cannot be tied to his actually being on the team. And if it is, it's pay to play with Wisconsin now the new Pony Express.

Apparently mutual..
