Wisconsin Badgers (Official Thread)

That ain't a good look.
Wisconsin has responded, claiming that Lucas entered a "binding" 2-year NIL agreement with UW & that Miami tampered and contacted Lucas impermissibly. They claim this is why they refused to allow him into the portal, that Lucas is expected to fulfill the 2-year agreement. I don't quite understand why they're not letting him into the portal. I would think the schools are paying NIL based on how long the players are enrolled there, so even if the agreement is for 2 years and he stays for only 1, they should be able to just pay that NIL $ to someone else now. If they are paying 2 years worth of NIL for a kid only being enrolled 1 year, that would not make sense to me. Wisconsin has also dragged the B1G conference into this to defend their agreement.

Yeah I'm not sure this was worth basically causing the NCAA to say hey dude can transfer without the transfer portal
