They will be going up against Emory, a true Frosh in Nickel and Anderson. I'd say the secondary better be lights out but it's not a true barometer test. Mario and Hetherman have their work cut out for them to figure out who you can and cannot rely upon...
I didnt think about that element. You're
right. We wont know how good our D is until Beck is cleared.
I just want the back end to build as much cohesion as possible. I imagine the groups totap confidence isn't the highest so going up against unproven qb's in spring might be a great thing to build that up before Beck is ready.
That's the point of this.
TBH he had a chance to go where he wanted to at first . Screwed up picking Wisconsin.
We screwed up by slow playing him.
There's the rub though, right? Miami won't sign a NIL deal with a student that's enrolled in another university for fear of "tampering." If he doesn't have a signed deal with another school that Wisconsin is interfering with, a cause of action becomes much more difficult. In other words, what evidence would he be able to rely on that another school would be willing to pay him more than he's making at Wisconsin? Some text messages that his agent received that someone might be willing to pay him more money? The case becomes much more speculative.
I think he still has a case. Even if he goes to the school he wanted, it can be argued the illegal delays by Wisconsin cost him the ability to hit the open market during the winter enrollment window greatly reducing his ability to negotiate a new contract with all suitors.
The measure of damages would be what he got compared to what he could have received if they let him out earlier. How do you prove by the greater weight of the evidence what he could have received? I think it's a tough case.
But, but, but Darren Heitner is a Gator............................
They are also getting close to him not being able to enroll for the Spring anywhere. I would imagine a good lawyer could spin that as something he should be compensated for as it affects him getting an education.
The guy filed a breach of contract case against FSU bball coach Leonard Hamilton last week and asked for punitive damages....so, yea, you can draw your own conclusions from that.
That would have been the basis for the injunctive relief sought so you’d be walking a tight rope there. Injunctive relief cannot be issued when there is an adequate remedy at law (damages). So without thinking too deeply about it, I’d be inclined to think you don’t want to associate enrollment timelines with monetary damages. But it’s probably an academic point anyhow given the circumstances (request for injunctive relief seems unlikely at this point and he’ll either be entered into the portal or just enroll.
