Lawyer that represented kid that was sued going from Miami to Wisconsin speaks up

If tweet fails to load, click here. "Certain sections of the Big Ten #NIL License Agreement template impose exclusivity, barring athletes from using or authorizing NIL "in connection" with other colleges during the term, even post-transfer. However, savvy drafting loopholes may exist. For instance, if new deals are brokered with third parties technically unaffiliated with the transferee school, avoiding direct "connection," players might sidestep these obligations without breach.
Every word in this contract will be inspected if this issue escalates. And the dispute resolution section may require the dispute to be arbitrated behind closed doors.
My preliminary observation is that I find it unlikely an arbitrator would rule that Demond Williams is enjoined from enrolling at another school (he is, after all, a student-athlete, right?). If anything, if Williams has not yet received any money under his signed contract, this matter should revolve around whether there are any damages and the right to relief."
He adds
"his future employer (sorry, institution) will likely find a way to ensure his legal bills are taken care of."

UW will probably throw a tantrum for a day or two but will eventually just accept it as a shitty beat once they realize a prolonged legal battle will hurt them in the future

Sounds to me like contract enforcement/picking apart 101. I've broken multiple non-compete contracts with the help of lawyers. These things can be broken 90% of the time.

Ie, if Demond ends up agreeing to NIL deals directly with Gordon, Cane’s, The Gold Club, etc., rather than LSU, he’s not in breach of the exclusivity provision in his UW contract.
There is also the issue of damages. What damages has UW suffered in a four-day period since the signing of the contract, especially if no new money has been paid to Demond pursuant to the contract?
Ironically, any alleged damages would be mitigated by UW quickly signing a new QB via the portal (which they’ll obviously have to do).

Correct me if I’m misunderstanding the situation. Seems the likelyhood of this kid wanting Oregon is low because of the conference implications.

Having bitch boy Dellenger send out strongly worded tweets is always very threatening.
You know his behind the scenes groveling DMs look like Schefty's with the Redskins. Tell me how to word this, daddy.

If we sign Demond Williams, a bowl game against Wisconsin will 100% be guaranteed

I’m just going to say it in every thread. This is a shite show.
Posted on 1/7/26 at 8:44 am to BilJ
Yep they don’t want the smoke we will bring. They will scream on x and losers in the media will scream for them as well as the ole miss fans. Then when the dust settles he will be under center for us in week 1 as we kick the shite out of dabo

In other words, if he wants to come to LSU, there is nothing Washington can do to stop him and we can pay him money through a third-party.
Not only that, but by the time this would be all resolved in court, he would’ve likely already played a full season in Baton Rouge

This is undeniably bad for cfb. I'm glad LSU is benefitting, but let's be real, the fact that these guys can just up and leave with no consequences even after "re-signing" is beyond fricked

My thoughts on all of this tampering and NIL contract stuff comes down to one question - what would Nick Saban do? He would be going HAM in this current climate of lawlessness. So go get the best players to help you win a championship and let the others cry about it, sports writers demonize you, futile lawsuits, and whatever else. People will only remember the wins and losses and all of this insanity just goes to show how valuable those W's are.

shite is freaking crazy. I don’t see how we can go yr. After yr.

Look at it this way, this kind of frickery could lead to change....but in the meantime we may as well use the system as it is to our advantage.
By the time any real change happens down the road, our roster will be in much better shape, and we won't have to rely so heavily on the portal.
