Shady AF. Typical one-sided corporate attorney BS. Embarrassing. Contracts must have legal tenets to be enforceable, right? Explicit pay for play. Yet…not. Because we said so. Ok. Do not sign, or cross out the ridiculous parts with notations. Return to sender. Maybe Judge Wilken blows...

Listened to Stew and Bruce today. They are of the opinion Wisconsin doesn’t have a leg to stand on; the Big Ten is afraid the Lucas precedent will render useless their carefully designed BIG TEN rev-share contract that apparently hundreds have already signed. They also said the justice...

Conventional wisdom isn’t giving the Domers much chance. Mainly the OSU receivers versus the ND pass defense. I’ve seen both teams lay eggs this year, so I don’t know. Can Notre Dame manufacture turnovers, run the ball. Go Irish.

Expect a lot of laundry, yet some huge missed calls. 🤷‍♂️

Has any collective or other NIL contract successfully blocked a player from transferring? That’s really the question here. If Lucas violated terms of an NIL contract then he’d be obligated to return front-loaded strings attached money, etc.. nobody would dispute that. Wisconsin has...

I’m not understanding your argument, sorry. How does college revenue sharing prevent player movement via portal? It doesn’t. Contracts? I’ve never seen an employment contract that prevented movement, either, on a binding national basis except in the military which is a different form of...

The lawyers are bickering. Given that we’ve had Kevin Warren and TV exec Pettiti I wonder about the BIG TEN. The days of Jim Delaney are long gone. Long gone. I don’t have a lot of confidence. JMHO. But, bully by lawyering does work versus the undercapitalized. I wonder if Wisconsin fans...

Which is related to… OK, if an entity receives outside revenue based on work you (and others) performed and distributes that revenue, contingent on you being physically present at the entity at certain dates and hours, subject to entity management and rules does that sound like an NIL contract...

Intramurals are great

If the contract consideration is: playing for the school in exchange for revenue isn’t that pay for play, and an employer/employee relationship, by any other interpretation? An employment contract we’re all familiar with. Compensation based on market value. How is this different? You said...

According to the official Wisconsin tweet in post 214, paragraph 2, it is. Maybe the PR person misspoke.

Nice. Never said I was accurate, and the truth is this is uncharted territory that nobody seems to have answers for. The mafia boss lawyer up approach by the Big Ten and Wisconsin towards Lucas is interesting. The NIL rev-share contracts, beyond being different from anything we’ve seen before...

Rip Van Winkles at Wisconsin. And, another antitrust violation. Add to the list.

Doesn’t this open a whole new can of worms? Edit: based on tweet above Wisconsin said they signed the NIL deal with the player, yet the House settlement called for a third party clearinghouse. I don’t claim to understand what they’re thinking, or what’s going on.

They haven’t been left out. The schools have given the athletes every opportunity to market themselves, promoted their sports to a reasonable extent. Every single women’s sport at the U loses money. Not even remotely close to breaking even. The old opportunity equaling outcomes debate gets...

Bold! 1.Why would a player sign a multi-year binding contract for as low as ~ 30K (pending Title IX litigation) in annual revenue sharing, though? 2.Why are schools entering contracts promising money not yet available, and perhaps destined for the tennis team instead. Unlike the player’s...

The Big Ten apparently has revenue sharing contracts now that marry that player to the school. Except they are null and void pending House money. And the whole employee/employer legal test thing. Interesting strategy, let’s see if it works out for them...

Someone would have to be willing to give up and/or pay any early termination penalties but I’d guess some team will need some player at some point.

Annd the circle is complete, back to under the table cash transfers.

How would the NIL contract, even if stupidly agreed to by the player, allow Wisconsin to prevent a transfer. They don’t seem like they can be related? Or, are universities employing players now?
