This promises to get entertaining...

Former Wisconsin DB Xavier Lucas leaving school for Miami without entering transfer portal in a groundbreaking move

Wisconsin refused to enter Lucas into the portal after he requested a transfer, but he's off to Miami regardless in a groundbreaking move that may have ramifications across college football.

Not sure how this is going to shake out.

From what I read the school refused to enter his name into the transfer portal due to a 2 year revenue sharing agreement that the big 10 apparently requires players to sign?

Revenue sharing hasn't started yet and is contingent on the house settlement being approved, it still hasn't been.

And by enrolling at Miami, Miami is at risk of breaking ncaa tamelpering rules if he is part of the team.

My gut feeling is Wisconsins argument may actually hold up here.....But I'm no attorney.

.“NCAA rules do not prevent a student-athlete from unenrolling from an institution, enrolling at a new institution and competing immediately,” an NCAA spokesperson said in a statement.

how is this even possible? Why would a player even enter the transfer portal If this is true. Back channel a contract, unenroll and enroll in a new school, anytime you wish. No portal, no window, no worry. Seems the NZAA would have language in bylaws and contracts that prevents this.

Since when has that stopped any schools from contacting players?

 

[davefrat]

The NCAA dug it’s own grave years ago…it just took a long time for it to stumble into the hole.

 

[B1GTide]

Seems to me like the NIL teams need better lawyers. Clearly their contracts are not binding.

 

[Elefantman]

Don't worry, the NCAA has their best lawyers on the case.

 

[JDCrimson]

His argument will be regular students don't have to transfer through a portal...

 

[smokies1]

can we go ahead and sign Mac Jones to a 4 year deal?

 

[some_al_fan]

Next year we will have a short 10 days transfer portal window, but players can now ignore it and just enroll with the new school. Great new system

Suddenly, the players grabbed all of the power. . It has become the NBA. I’ll keep posting, but i have watched 3 playoff games, didn't watch semifinals and have no desire to watch the championship game. I don’t even know what date it’s on. My interest in this sport is quickly fading.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

Can’t imagine why my interest is fading fast. Things like this make it fade faster. .

Used to watch a guy come along - Eddie Jackson is a great example - who would screw up and learn - and become a superstar by learning. Now, it’s “well, if I’m not starting I’m headed to your rival.”

When more time is spent covering who left which team to go to another team, we have an out of whack sport. Back in the day, when an NCAA investigation went on any school was going to get hammered like Alabama or SMU or USC, stories only dropped every couple of months regarding the most recent update.

Nowadays, so many guys are changing teams so quickly that I don’t even have time to process one before I hear about another one.

I never liked it before when the story was what went on off the field, and I like it even less now.

It may be time for the two big conferences to invoke the power-play and nuclear bomb every other program out of existence.

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

I don't feel like Wisconsin has a lot to gain here.

This sport is a mess though

 

[DrollTide]

The self-checkout line reaches football.

Here we have, yet again, a failure to uphold one's word. Absent any other available info, I'll comment that the dude signed an agreement, got his feelings hurt somehow (or got a better offer at Miami) and now wants to forget his name was in ink on the rev share agreement.

Assuming these are the facts, for the sake of the entire college football world, Wisconsin needs to take this to the nth degree to enforce the agreement. (and once their rights are confirmed, boot the kid to the curb). Other schools should contribute to their legal defense of this. They absolutely do not need to cave.

IF there are other "facts" in the case then those certainly affect my interpretation above, but given the lack of any real journalism discoveries here, I'll go with what I first stated.

I have been on a quest for "real journalism discoveries" for several years now.

I just didn't know what to call it. Now I do. Thank you.

Offer a lifeline to a select few, load the ark with the good ones , and drown the rest.

Offer a lifeline to a select few, load the ark with the good ones , and drown the rest.

At least there is precedent for that course of action.
