So that’s one “No” vote if Miami wants to go to the Big 10 when the ACC grant of rights expires. **

Seriously, this will be interesting. It seems that legally Wisconsin has a solid case. And this kind of thing is rampant in college sports.

Tampering suits are not the answer to this. Put buyout clauses in the NIL contracts and enforce them—end of story.

Either that or a transfer fee system. Player under contract wants to transfer, the schools can work out a fee. If a player wants to transfer at the end of his contract, it’s a free transfer.

They are, and the buyout will count against the new school's revenue sharing cap. But there's a limit to how high the buyout can be.

Did Miami break the contract or did Lucas?
Lucas breached the contract, but Miami is being sued for intentionally interfering with the contract by enticing him to transfer.

The contract was contingent, though. It was not effective unless the settlement was approved, and Lucas transferred back in January, long before it was approved. Wisconsin waited until after approval to sue. Miami will argue the contract was unenforceable in January.

Two things if interest: 1) Wisconsin would not let Lucas enter the transfer portal, so he just enrolled at Miami anyway. 2) NCAA says there are no rules preventing what Lucas did.

Would rather see Miami come to the SEC. Would give UF some instate competition and in a part of the state where it would be nice to take a road trip vacation for us and other SEC fans. South Beach is nice ANY time of year! FSU would be in a very average part of the state, and an hour and a half from the beach. I also think we'd be better able to compete with Miami than FSU. Round trip air tickets to Miami from Memphis are some of the cheapest around and several non-stops available.
