Here is a good article about a Wisconsin player that left for Miami and was sued...

Looks like Washington could be SOL...

Does anyone know what the settlement concluded about these deals?

Wisconsin defensive back Xavier Lucas is at the center of a major impending legal battle after his lawyer, Darren Heitner, announced that he would transfer to Miami. At issue is whether revenue-sharing agreements with schools are binding in the wake of the upcoming House v. NCAA lawsuit settlement.
The saga began when Lucas asked Wisconsin to enter his name into the transfer portal after one season with the school. Wisconsin denied his request, claiming the two-year revenue-sharing agreement he signed on Dec. 2 is binding. He additionally signed a separate deal with Wisconsin's NIL collective.
NCAA bylaws mandate that universities must enter players into the transfer portal within two business days of a request.

2025 marks the first year schools can sign revenue-sharing contracts with players and directly pay them for their services. However, the contracts are not technically allowed until the House settlement reaches final approval. The final hearing will take place on April 7, 2025. According to Heitner, the contract Lucas signed is only a memorandum of understanding and isn't enforceable until the settlement is finalized.
Lucas's representation claims that after he was denied the right to enter the transfer portal, he unenrolled from the university. At that point, he claims that he connected with Miami and signed with the school. Wisconsin also claims it has evidence that Miami tampered with Lucas before he entered the portal.

So yeah. They aren’t employees and the items they signed are not in affect nor have they been compensated.

Seems like it’s just a “we (insert college) pay you x amount and you play for us”

This will be the interesting part with this case. Did he sign an MOU or the actual contract? I still think either way this isn't going anywhere for Washington.
What are they going to do? File an injunction to prevent him from playing for LSU?

I don’t think Williams would re-enter the portal without doing his homework. I’m sure his agent has contacted lawyers and got advise on how to do this.

So basically no deal right now is binding with revenue sharing deals? Open season!

Scholarships are meaningless with NIL.
Student athletes are not employees of the university.
The school nor NCAA can stop them from simply unenrolling from one school and enrolling in another.

However…
quote:
No, NCAA athletes generally cannot unilaterally “break” a revenue sharing agreement in the sense of terminating it without consequences, but the structure isn’t a traditional long-term binding contract that locks them in.
However…
quote:
In practice:
• If an athlete wants to “break” the arrangement (e.g., due to dissatisfaction with pay or playing time), their main option is to transfer, which effectively ends the revenue sharing with that school.
• There are no widespread reports of revenue sharing being enforced as unbreakable multi-year contracts that prevent leaving or require repayment.
• Schools control distribution, so payments can be performance-based, merit-based, or equitable, but athletes aren’t bound to stay if unhappy. This system prioritizes school flexibility while giving athletes mobility through transfers, rather than creating ironclad player contracts. As of early 2026, the model is still evolving, with ongoing oversight by the NCAA and potential future adjustments.

This is the clause that makes me feel good. Thanks for posting that.

With the revenue sharing set up now, the case would be totally different. Williams would be an employee paid by the University of Washington, at least for a portion of his deal

Great point if the dude is pulling this type of cash someone advised him this is okay. He didn’t pull this out of his arse without running it by someone
