It seems inevitable but only if the player agrees. I still don’t see how they d be enforceable. What if a player wants to “major” in a program or set of classes not offered at school A but school B offers that program… shouldn’t he simply be allowed to back out of the contract? It just seems that a school could tailor a situation to a “student athlete’s “ needs as a way of dismantling a contract..

I know it's not a draft, but couldn't the argument be made that once the player signs on recruiting day, then the school owns the rights to that player?


This requires the players to legally be declared employees. Until then they cant be owned or stopped from doing anything. Buyouts are the only remedy and thats essentially why the Williams kid is still at Washington. 10-12 mil is a little steep. The next year's revenue share penalty for the poaching school was a nice touch.

I think Washington just made that argument
