Can I post a thread? Portal News

See below. Article Quote:

The lawyer for Xavier Lucas says the ex-Wisconsin player is transferring to Miami, even though the cornerback's former school never entered his name into the portal.

The NCAA issued a statement Friday saying that "NCAA rules do not prevent a student-athlete from unenrolling from an institution, enrolling at a new institution and competing immediately."

So the Portal has no power, teeth, anything? Which is fine with me, just get rid of it at this point.

CB Lucas leaves UW for Miami, bypasses portal

I guess if the school won't put your name in the portal why not just unenroll and move on. If Wisconsin wants to be a dyck about it then **** them. The portal transfer process seems to be accepted by most schools so if someone doesn't want to be there then let him leave. I can't see this becoming a big issue as most schools understand the process and help you leave via the portal. Seems a bit extreme to have to hire a lawyer unless there is more going on that we aren't being told.

I've been telling people for years to stay away from the CC School District.

This is going to be interesting. We’re now delving into the world of contract breaches with NIL money and revenue sharing.

The players and their reps are going to keep pushing and pushing the limits. The NCAA is too scared to do anything. This will have to be an act of legislation or years of litigation.

Agreed. It will also open the door (wider) for schools meddling with players of other schools and players agents shopping their clients during the season. Yes it happens today but this will really open the flood gates. Imagine if pro teams could do this to other teams. Huge game against an opponent upcoming? Throw a bag of $$ at a key player on the opposing team and get him to switch sides. In the end this system is unworkable. What keeps things from going off the rails in the pros are an agreed upon set of rules and enforceable player/team contracts. That’s exactly what college sports needs. Scholarships, NIL and everything else that athletes receive need to be tied to enforceable contracts. Player X wants to leave, then there’s agreed upon terms in the contract defining how that occurs and who receives what. A fair, bargained-for exchange is the basis of a free market. Apply the same principles to college sports; it is no different than the pros just at a different level.

Yes, the concept of a contract should be no different.

But in professional sports, team owners negotiate with the players union. The end result is a player/owner contractual agreement setting pay caps, rookie contracts, free agency and dozens of other details. (varies slightly from sport to sport) Right now in college sports each player and their agent bargain every year for a new deal. Annual free agency with no pay cap, if you will. Annual free agency is unworkable ( a coach can't even know who will be in his QB room on any given February) and could be foreseen four years ago when it all started.

The ideal situation would be team owners ( University Presidents) bargaining with a players union. This would take legislation. In the 1960's the NLRB accepted jurisdiction over professional sports giving a legal basis for collective bargaining for pro sports teams and their unions. The same jurisdiction needs to extend to college sports.

The days of players playing for just the love of the sport and their alma matter are long gone. College sports need to accept that fact and get a workable framework as soon as possible. Some form of this WILL happen. It's just a matter of when.

Yeah the paying player stuff worked out about as well as I expected it to.

I have no doubt it will end up in the Supreme Court, and I think the next big waive will be students filing class action lawsuits against being charged athletic fees, and I think that is going to be huge in regards to damages! Imagine how much money can be involved for an attorney for a class action student lawsuit that ultimately involves 10's of millions of students over the last decade!
