Kiffin and Weis tried to recruit him while at O MRS. in 2023. He "resigned" with UW this year, however, his agents have seen the money being offered to top portal QB's. Agents see opportunity to get more money, talk with client, client likes Kif and Weiss and see's Chambliss progression and decides he'd like to pursue more money and a bigger stage for his Future.
If you didn't have the backstory, there it is.
Now tell me, if this was your son, what would you advise him to do?

Why?
As long as the player meets all eligibility requirements as laid out by the NCAA there should not need to be a lawsuit. Players join teams all the time without having entered the transfer portal to do it.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I think you are not correct on paper.
Im assuming without pressure, the NCAA would declare any player who attempted to transfer outside of the portal ineligible. That seems logical given that the portal exists and is in use by almost everyone.
It’s an entirely different situation about whether they would win in court. And they will run into potentially costly litigation and penalties if the are sued and lose. So a lawsuit is probably how this gets resolved.

So this has been in the works in a while. He knew the offer was there in the beginning. But he chose the sign with Washington. I don't fricking understand this whole situation. It's stupid. If we had a way better offer than Washington then why'd he sign with them. It only looks bad on him
We don’t know what happened. We know Williams entered the portal but then withdrew and “re-signed” with UW. We also know Fifita is being linked to UW even though he never entered the portal.
Theres a chance Williams found out about Fifita and decided to leave. There’s also a chance his agent has still been in contact with other schools and told him he could make more money. There’s also a chance he just got cold feet and doesn’t want to stay anymore.

What are you trying to say here?
I am saying Demond can do exactly what the Wisconsin player did as the circumstances are nearly identical.
1) He signed an NIL deal
2) He requested a transfer and Wisconsin failed to allow it (a violation of NCAA bylaws)
3) He withdrew from Wisconsin and enrolled at Miami
4) He starts for Miami now
Demond's facts are basically the same.
The NCAA never attempted (to my knowledge) to block the Wisconsin player's eligibility. And, I think the reason is that the player requested to be in the transfer portal and was following the rules of the NCAA.

As I understand NCAA has little to any connection to NIL contracts.

I guess it's possible that the NCAA could say that the only way someone can make a decision to withdraw from a university and potentially enroll at another university is via the transfer portal...but is that what the rule is?

The NCAA doesn't seem to think that's a rule. There is a rule that says a player can't compete for multiple teams within the same season, but that's not really at issue here.

I would tell my son honor his word because when you broke that's all you got and money can go just as fast as it comes. Selfishly I hope he comes to LSU. Maybe he's just been misguided. I don't know. It just seems like something we don't need. We already got enough drama with the lane situation.

Washington has 2 business days to enter his name into the portal once notified in writing by Demond according to NCAA Bylaws.
He’s not going to make a move until that 2 day deadline passes.
Currently it’s a brewing NIL and contractual issue between Demond and UW that involves a lot of unknowns and gray areas.
As soon as Washington refuses to abide by the portal by-laws, then it becomes a clear NCAA violation by Washington. The by-law is clear a school can not refuse to enter a player in the portal for any reason, and specifically includes any NIL, monetary, or contractual issues as an example schools have used in the past that are now violations.

Transfer rules still apply. I believe the rules outline this scenario. If Demond request to be added to transfer portal, it really doesn't matter if Washington adds him like they are supposed to or not when it comes to his eligibility.
They can not stop him from transferring and have no rule that would make him ineligible just by withdrawing and enrolling elsewhere. As long as he is academically eligible and meets the other rules that all athletes face for eligibility, he is fine.

If the NCAA decides NOT to declare the player eligible, obviously it's a moot point. Reading up on the Lucas situation, that sounds like what happened. The NCAA seemed to have no interest in fighting it.
But, if that's the case, then there's no need for the portal. There's no meaning to the portal window, etc.

Unfortunately, college sports is not a marriage or friendship, so honor has nothing to do with his decision. They would replace him at QB as fast as the next best player coming along, so unfortunately these players need to do what is best for them. It's after the season and 9 days left in the portal, in which UW is trying to "lure" the AZ QB if I'm not mistaken.

I disagree with that.
In order to remain eligible, student athletes need to be enrolled in school and maintaining sufficient academic progress. Regardless of what that means from a true education standpoint, this is why the portal is where it is in the calendar - to align somewhat with the break period that most universities have. This way, athletes can enter the portal, signify that they are exploring other opportunities, and seek scholarship offers so they can unenroll from their current university and enroll at their new one in time to be enrolled to maintain eligibility.
If Demond (or anyone else) just randomly decided in the middle of a semester to leave...they'd risk their eligibility by not maintaining sufficient progress and potentially failing out of school by dropping too late, etc.
The entrance into the portal is what makes it public that you are leaving..but I guess there's nothing that would prevent someone from privately unenrolling and then signing on somewhere else.

Xavier Lucas at the University of Miami is doing exactly the same thing and playing in the game Thursday night. Wisconsin is butt hurt, but who cares? There is already precedent.

I think they are tired of getting sued and are just folding until Congress steps in and provides some much needed parameters.
