re: Washington might pursue legal action against QB Demond Williams (update)

I did because I didn’t know anything about it until this week.

quote:

---

The contract explicitly says he didn’t do this

---

Bingo.


So... Washington would only have to give him money for any profit they make using his name or image.

If they don't sell any jerseys of him, then they don't owe him any money.

Easy fix.

quote:

---

They committed resources to him that they could have allocated to other players on their roster that may have decided to leave without increased compensation and it prevented them from allocating the resources to other players in the portal.

---

4 days.....and read the contract. it says in return for the pay, they get to use his NIL. says he is not an employee and it is not pay for play. sftu

quote:

---

That’s a given. It’s how far they want to go with this.

---

yea it is a given and its as far as they can go. learn contract language and stfu

quote:

---

He signed a contract saying that he was going to play for them. If he wanted more money, that’s fine, pursue it. But if the contract he signed doesn’t have any weight or meaning behind it for him to uphold then that sets a precedent that the schools and collectives no longer are obligated to uphold their end of the arrangements either. Miss a practice or have a shite game? Off the team, no more scholarship, no more NIL money.

washington is an at will state, so in LA. even if he was treated as an employee...there is no CBA governing the contracts. no different than you getting a pay raise at your current company and telling facebook about it....then 4 days later google comes in and offers you 50% more than that so you take it. literally no difference. a non compete doesnt hold up because you dont play LSU next year

but since the contract specifically says that he isnt an employee....good luck with that.

and schools could already kick kids off. do you follow college baseball? they are kids kicked off after fall practice every year.

and lastly we have legal precedence from the Wisconsin kid that transferred to Miami. he unenrolled at Wisconsin and enrolled at Miami....courts ruled it was fine. not to mention that have also ruled that the players are not employees.


again learn and understand how contracts work before mouthing off.

Non-competes rarely are enforceable anyway.

They almost never hold up in courts

Who said anything about Revenue sharing agreements?

The Collectives pay the players based on who the school has on their roster. They are in constant communication about these things.

You really think the Collective signed this deal without Washington being aware of it? Lol

quote:

---

Because Rev share agreements are explicitly NOT pay for play. Damn bro try to keep up.

---

None of these guys understand the first thing about what’s actually going on but come in here and whine and bitch like toddlers about something they know nothing about.

Which just makes things worse. There’s a lot of stuff wrong with college football right now that needs to be fixed. Unfortunately, the NCAA and university administrators have made it their life’s mission to not just let the players have a piece of the pie to their own detriment, and now we have shite like this happening where they have to make fake contracts because they’re so dead set on not calling these guys employees or bargaining with them.

You.

Oh damn lmao.

thats not necessarily true but in this case...it certainly would. for a non compete to hold up...it must be direct competition or you must show how the employee working for the new company will cause damages.

and they have to be very specific. they cant just say...he cant play football anywhere in the NCAA. would get thrown out by the court in 2 seconds.


but the contract he signed specifically says they are not employees and it is not pay for play and it is an agreement to allow UDUB to use his NIL for the season in exchange for a monetary value.

quote:

---

In this case? Washington and Williams in the contract that is in dispute

---

Dude is completely lost and is lashing out

quote:

---

Who said anything about Revenue sharing agreements?

How are you always this bad?

quote:

---

The university has been in contact with the Big Ten and will present evidence of tampering to enforce Williams’ contract after he signed what the university is calling a “legally binding revenue-share contract.”
