Say if Miami held a player Isaiah horton from transferring and blocked him from going to Bama, it would be front page espn sportcenter and the ncaa would be on campus investigating trying to give us sanctions

One guess at how you make it front page news…hint: it should’ve been done last month.

Yes. Obviously. So what?

As to the schools w/ offers at issue, which would be more concerning? And if Lucas is ultimately trying to transfer to one of those schools, would submitting evidence that could be used (by the NCAA/Wisconsin) against said school be prudent?

As I stated earlier, I sincerely doubt any of the allegedly 40 organizations/entities/schools making offers want those offers submitted as evidence in a court proceeding.

What I'm saying is that if he brings a case on what his damages should be, it makes no difference on tampering. The courts can't do anything with that. You just lay out the offers, and that's your evidence of economic loss.

Tampering is irrelevant.

Luke Fickell doesn't have this kind of power in Madison. Its the boosters who raised the money, signed the deal, and saw less than 48 hours later kid was out. Their money goes beyond just the football program. If anything this has only weakened Fickell's standing with those same boosters.

I've said it before... Wisconsin doesn't have the stomach for this NIL world. They wonder "if a teenager can sign a deal and then snub the program a bunch of multi-millionaires, what is the point of any of this?"

They don't care about the recruiting impact at the moment. Why would they? They thought they had won the XL recruitment twice (HS and NIL signing). If this scares off recruits who would do this to them, they are spinning that as a POSITVE.

Fickell absolutely has the power.

No Wisconsin athletic department administrator, who has submitted 20 other Portal applications for 20 other form Wisconsin athletes, knows anything about "NOT processing the paperwork" unless it comes from Fickell and/or the AD. Some random alum/booster cannot call a Wisconsin employee and instruct him on what to do and what not to do.

Fickell (and/or the AD) can and did.

I mean, that is awesome that he De committed but unless there is a report, I’m not sure you can connect his commitment to holding Lucas hostage as much as it would be awesome

has nothing to do with Lucas. In actuality, the kid posted he was told by Wisconsin they were no longer honoring his committment. They pushed him out.

At this moment in time, I think we should disregard "the truth" and just follow the narrative that recruits are starting to ignore Wisconsin.

Yall need to bombard Josh Pate mentions about this. He hasn't talked about it and I'd love to hear his thoughts (and get more national attention to this)

I doubt he touches it, especially with Wiscy being a power 2 conference member.

I liked him before he went full SEC SEC nut hugger but he was always quite the politician. His gift was being able to make everyone think he was also a fan of their school. Unless its about the NCAA or the higher ups, he wont say anything that would deeply upset any particular fanbase.

I understand what you are saying. Evidence of tampering is irrelevant to Lucas's case for economic damages against Wisconsin. Agreed.

But that has nothing to do with what I am saying.

The same evidence Lucas would present in court (i.e., a public forum) and to the defendant (i.e., Wisconsin) to prove his case is the sort of evidence Wisconsin (or the NCAA) might use to make a claim for tampering. And presumably one of those forty offers is the from the school or collective/representative of the school where Lucas wants to enroll. That could be problematic for the school and, potentially, Lucas.
 
They supposedly used a contract written by the B1G for all their schools expecting the revenue sharing to be passed and tying the NIL directly to the school, obviously it wasn't. They believe the B1G is more powerful than the NCAA now and their 1 year $500,000 contract is binding to them. No point in adding how they think Miami tampered, good luck with that hearsay. I thought he would already enroll.

So, he’s followed Herbie’s path.
