The provision in William's contract about UW not having to let him transfer is completely unconstitutional.
Why have any contracts at all, in any field, for any reason, if the parties cannot be held to them?
He could pay them to release him, I’m quite certain.

They can wish in one hand and shite in the other, and see which one fills up first

Apparently, there is a provision of liquidated damages in his contract or maybe they’re referring to a buyout. Whatever it is, I’m sure LSU would pay it for him.

Parties can be held to them, but only when the provisions in said contract are not contrary to law. Take the rumored liquidated damages portion of this contract that is “solely in the discretion of Washington” as to the amount. No chance that survives if challenged. They can’t just make up a number. They have to back it up.
Contract law also says when a provision is ambiguous, it is generally interpreted most favorable to the party who didn’t draft the agreement.

Is it a Clinton or Obama appointed judge? If so, 50/50 at best.

If illegals can walk into this country and go to so-called sanctuary cities like Seattle
An American citizen can leave one university and attend another at his discretion

After a little research if UW fails to enter him in portal within 48 hours the NCAA could levy some serious penalties

Did you look at the agreement text linked on the previous page? This is apparently language from a University of Washington contract (from last summer) that a reported obtained via FOIA request. The liquidated damages are pretty clear:
quote:
If Athlete transfers or enters the transfer portal prior to the end of a Consideration Period set forth in Annex A, the Athlete will: (a) reimburse, or cause the transferee institution to reimburse, the Institution a prorated portion of the Consideration, equal to the amount paid by the Institution for the remainder of the Consideration Period; and (b) pay or cause the transferee institution to pay, as liquidated damages, the remainder of the Consideration not paid under Section 3(a) above.
If his agreement has the same language, the liquidated damages would be the full value remaining on the contract. It doesn’t say anything about those damages being up to UW’s discretion.
I think the part you’re referencing might be this:
quote:
The Institution in its discretion may, after good faith discussion with the Athlete, adjust the Consideration to reflect an increase or decrease in the Athlete’s NIL value (e.g., a Heisman Trophy win may increase the NIL value and reduced playing time may decrease the NIL value).
I’m not a lawyer, so not sure how this provision would be interpreted in conjunction with the LD’s. If the written contract says his Consideration is $4 million, can Washington try to say his NIL value increased to $8 million, therefore he owes them $8 million as liquidated damages? Surely that wouldn’t stand up as you said. But then what if Washington doesn’t try to take that stance?
Seems like it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out regardless.

Unprecedented??? Same shite happened last year between Wisconsin and Miami. Player unenrolled, went to Miami and been playing all year. Lawsuit been sitting idle in court for over a year. Courts don’t want any part of this mess.

Well yea, that’s just absurd and I highly doubt the Big Ten drafted a contract with that in it. The text quoted about sounds perfectly legal as far as paying back the money. It’s not arbitrary an he hasn’t won the Heisman or done anything in 5 days to warrant an adjustment either way in his value.
But that isn’t the same thing as Washington being able to hold his transfer either, in any event.

Yeah, kind of like Ole Miss not letting LK coach, but his assistants can.

Screw the NCAA. They’ve crapped on so many players in the past. They’ve issued unequal punishment and have been so inconsistent in the past that nobody will do anything to help them. I hope their entire entity is dismantled. They’ve created this entire storm with their own ineptness, shortsightedness and ignorance.
the 2010s was crazy top to bottom when it came to their outlandish shite

Suing former players is a good way to attract more players. Not

Its no wonder he wants to leave that cesspool. They are taking this way too personal, its just business.
We all melted when Underwood bailed last offseason, but we got it out of our system and moved on. A billionaire got sweet talked by his sugar baby wife. shite happens. They took him because they saw they could. It sucked, but we didn’t try to burn down college football or take anyone to court over it.
We just did the same fricking thing. The only difference is one was a HS recruit and the other is a college football player who wants to renig on a NIL deal.
Until the rules change to restore some sanity, sadly their commitments mean just about as much. And the thing that most of these melting UW idiots don’t understand is that most of us want the same changes they do. We’re just working within the system and the many loopholes that exist today until that happens.
