It doesn't prevent them from submitting the transfer paperwork.

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 ****.

They are alleging that Lucas has a NIL contract signed and is refusing to pay back money, which Wisconsin is using to reason their refusal to his portal entrance.

I wonder when a lawyer will tell them what they're doing is extremely illegal.

Wait a minute! An NIL contract cannot be an inducement to go to or stay at a school. IE you cannot structure a deal so that a player has to stay at a school or else pay back money.

Wisconsin would seemingly be in breach of NCAA regulations in the NIL era.
