The agreement allows schools to adjust payments based on performance
How can they argue that it’s not pay for play with this line?

They can’t! That’s why LSU is going for Williams.

And you purposely structured your click-bait title as if you were presenting news and then post a long wall of shite.

Is it correct that the form of this agreement is signed off on by the big 10 conference. That would suggest Oregon would have a hard time competing for Williams unless they want to go against their own conference.

These contracts are like non competes...look good on paper, hard to enforce

At its core, the MOU is an intellectual property transaction. The school is buying a license to use the athlete’s NIL and the associated right to sublicense the athlete’s NIL to third parties. The athlete accepts they do not gain a right to royalties or additional payments in the event of a sublicense.
They are trying to ensure their conference schools walk an impossible tightrope by treating players as employees, but not labeling them as such.
The insistence that the agreements are not Pay for Play leaves the door open to completely change course in the future if new laws or court rulings would impact existing agreements.

Would be nice to compare B1G outgoing transfers to SEC outgoing transfers and see if these empty threats and manipulative "contracts" have anything to do with it. Might also have something to do with B1G having higher post season participation among starters.

It is comical but predictable - the hypocrisy on this board.
What about Washington’s hypocrisy? Throwing an absolute bitch about Williams wanting to leave, threatening tampering filings and to sue him while actively tampering with and trying to bring in a QB who’s not in the portal, and never even entered his name.
Washington is talking out both sides of their mouth.

The B10 commish is a grade A prick and Sanky rubs his feet at night. SEC schools need to get that pus Sanky relieved of duties.

WTF kind of ignorant take is this? Such a strange mix in this post of the best discussion on core NIL legal issues and then drivel like yours shitting out your typical sidetaint bullshite. Go eat a dick if your brain can’t handle more than 160 characters at a time.
this legal issue gets to the heart of the matter and this is one of the better write ups I have seen.
I think it’s hilarious how what the Big 10 probably did here was just create a document that had a frickload of words in it, but is self-contradictory and ends up being, as mentioned, toilet paper. But I bet it works to deter 80% of the kids out there who won’t get enough money to bother hiring an agent and the parents certainly aren’t going to fork over $750 an hour for a decent lawyer to review it.
If my kid was a 5 star recruit I would laugh in their face and say no thank you. We still want to attend your school but are not signing that doc. What else ya got for us?
I guarantee the answer wouldn’t be “sign it or there is no deal”.
The whole situation sucks arse but this MOU thing is a sad sad attempt by some lawyers to justify their fees. I run into it constantly in business.
In life, a contract is only as good as the man on the other end. PERIOD.

SO moving forward, when these QB type contracts keep growing, do you put contract break penalties in them if they sign and then walk?
is that feasible?

I ain't reading all that and it doesn't really matter. Pro-big 10/anti-LSU/anti-Lane Kiffin people will stomp their feet and say he can't transfer to LSU. Realists say no way they can prevent it.
Everyone I've seen connected to Washington football doesn't want him back anyway. Apparently he told Jedd Fisch right before a memorial service they had for a soccer player who passed away, and then Williams released his statement during the memorial which rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.
