Xavier Lucas wants to be in the portal but Luke Fickell pays to watch men ramrod his wife

Should’ve filed a lawsuit the moment Wisconsin refused to process his portal request. This would most likely be resolved by now, if he did. The idea that Heitner is some NIL expert is laughable. Takes about two hours to read and understand the rules and administrative issues. Lucas didn’t need a rules expert; he needed a litigator.

You should send his mom an email. It’s her Twitter handle.

Heitner was also not retained until January. Should have started this **** in December.

Not necessarily. He tweeted he was in the portal, so that could be taken as an invitation to make an offer whether he was officially in or not.

Perhaps. But we know notwithstanding his Tweet, he was not in the portal. Maybe the NCAA/court considers that a mitigating factor, who knows? But universities do have access to the transfer portal and can see for themselves (and arguably should verify before relying on a Tweet) whether the student athlete is actually in the portal. In any event, the same contact rules that clearly state a school must put a player into the portal within 48 hours of the student athlete's completion of the necessary paperwork also clearly state contact is not allowed until the student athlete is in the portal.

I sincerely doubt any of the allegedly 40 organizations/entities/schools making offers want those offers submitted as evidence in a court proceeding.
 
Which is still not in the 48 hour rule. There is no you just file “unless tampering” condition to it

Who said it was? You have completely missed the point.

The question was about evidence of monetary damages to Lucas resulting from Wisconsin's failure to adhere to the rule. There was a response that Lucas had 40 offers. The delta between his highest offer and what he's making now could serve as a basis for monetary damages. The problem is, since Lucas was not, in fact, actually in the portal when he received those offers, there is an argument to be made that those offers would be evidence of other schools (not Wisconsin) violating the contact rules.

Does that serve as an excuse for Wisconsin's failure to adhere to the rule? Of course not.
But does it possibly throw other schools under the bus to prove Lucas's damages? Quite possible, yes.

No lawyer. But when the NCAA has a regulation that says the institution SHALL submit the players application to transfer into the portal within 2 business days, then seems like the actual physical motions of entering that information is irrelevant and the player did his part so has every right to contact whomever he wants to.
 
What, nobody taking the BAIT?
