I am suggesting that a free man FREELY entered into a contract and knew very well what it stated.
I'm gonna push back on this a little bit.
Something tells me this moron didn't read what he was signing and didn't have a good agent/attorney scrub this for language harmful to him. After reading some of the key provisions in the document he ended up signing, there's absolutely no way a competent attorney would have let his client sign this.

RollTide1987 contact matters not, it is where you are enrolled at the start of the 2026 season.
This is a NIL deal not a LOI.
Nil deals are media type contacts, far different rules and court rulings.
These are non-binding until in effect until the new season, which is why the Wisconsin player was able to change teams with no effect on the new team (Miami) or his ability to sign a new NIL deal with his current team.

I never said it wasn't. My point still stands and I doubt the University of Washington of all schools would have used temu lawyers to draft this contract for the player to sign. This will be fought in court. I for one welcome it because we need a decision on this crap once and for all.

enforcing the contract.
The non transfer clauses are not enforceable.
State law, and a court settlement has already granted or confirmed the right of the athletes to transfer.
The law and the court settlement both have language barring the university from using revenue sharing agreements to prevent, or persuade the athletes from transferring.
A contract cannot override, supersede or otherwise impede a settlement or court law that is specific in barring such agreements

Both of which specifically state that universities cannot use NIL or Rev Share agreements to interfere with the athletes right to transfer.

Wildcat Mike is a shite stirrer who has not context for legal issues.
Nothing to see here except message board BS.
Williams will be playing football this year, and NOT at UW.

This apparently is a boilerplate Big10 agreement. Its the revenue share agreement...allegedly.
The problem I have with it is that UW gets to determine the buyout. In my opinion, the buyout should be determine in the agreement. UW cannot just make it up as they go.
Perhaps it progressively increases each year. But that can get written as a per annum basis. Really dumb.

NCAA bylaw 13.1.1.4.3. on transfers
I'm not a lawyer but it seems like allowing an organization that operates under your guidelines, to write contracts that void those guidelines wouldn't make a lot of sense.
The funny thing about this is, it seems like he can play for LSU and UW will still owe his Rev share portion from ticket sales, TV , media etc. he just won't get his NIL money. LMFAO.
Also being you are a lawyer what is your opinion on this player and his head coach (state employee) being able to be represented by the same agent. If there are going to be legal proceedings how can that agent defend/represent the player against the state while also representing another employed by them with opposing interests.

To be fair, if he doesn't have to be, I wouldn't want to be there either.

Can we all throw good karma to Washington to please make this kid pay back his deal if he breaks the contract?
I’m fine if you can’t hold people from transferring or moving from one college to another but these kids can have their cake and eat it too. If you want to leave and break a contract fine, you just have to inherit whatever financial damage you agreed to

It's hilarious how many other dolts join in with his BS though, There a bunch of butthurt and clueless posters on this board.

But like the kid from Wisconsin who went to Miami,
Yeah but weren’t the provisions bc of the wiscy kid. So they weren’t in place at thst time yet?

This is all about $$. It sounds like Williams is going to have to pay to break that contract - will be up to court/arbitration to decide how much it will be.
Has anyone seen the deal? Were there any “outs” on his part?
All of this by Kiffin and the LSU administration is some risky stuff. The bad PR is one thing, but what if none of these plans work out and the team just doesn’t gel (I mean, that happens) and you lose 4-5 games the first year.
Will be a ton of headaches for not much in return.

There is no telling where he will end up, LSU, Miami and Oregon all want him as their starter.

Interesting, the LSU twitter lawyers that play pokemon games told me they could make work with this Washington contract.
