re: The agreement Demond Williams signed with Washington included a provision. Uh oh, LSU.

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.
Well then the athlete freely hired an idiot to be his agent. Those kids are not after boring money. They want lambos or flashy rims. They have been told they are special and coddled so much they believe they can just break the rules whenever they see fit because they think some LSU fan will gloss over it for their specialness.
Malcolm Simmons supposeely hired an "agent" that is four years out of high school. FAFO

opinion on this player and his head coach (state employee) being able to be represented by the same agent.
This is an area of College agency that is going to be uprooted.
First, the relationship between coaches and players are going to have to be established. That relationship is unique due to the circumstances and due to the house settlement and various lawsuits.
However the relationship issues are resolved, the agent certainly will not be representing coaches and players after this all is shaken out through courts and legislation.

Another important matter that will be addressed in the future is the strangle hold of one agent representing a majority of coaches.
This has created a situation that is unsustainable. As that one agent exercises far too much power and influence in negotiations.
I may address this issue in a separate thread later

What is your infatuation with LSU. Were you the dude that dumped Gatorade on Archie Bunker for the BGM? You are literally almost as obsessed as fakeCajunsidewalkgump. He’s from Hammond. What’s your excuse?

I can see this drawing out for months to get settled
Many lawsuits are settled that way. Drawing out months until it doesn't matter anymore and the one that could afford the time and the money wins. Microsoft use to do business that way when they'd take other companies' IP.

He'll just do what Xavier Lucas did, and unenroll at Wisconsin, then enroll at Miami. Transfer portal isn't needed for that. Just drop out and go to a new uni.
There's nothing stopping him from playing at LSU. The only power UW has here is they can try to sue LSU and Demond, but there's no police that is going to arrest him for not going to UW and playing at LSU.

This suit may draw out for a while, but it certainly won't get settled that way.
This suit will be settled according to the legal precedent.
The athletes can enter the portal and the university is prevented by court ruling and state law from using revenue sharing agreements to disallow the athletes from transferring.
As a matter of law, the university cannot even dissuade that decision using revenue sharing agreements or NIL

There will have to be some financial compensation to UW. Does the kid pay it, or the suitor do so? People brought up coaches breaking contracts all the time. Yes, they do. And they have to pay a buyout clause to obtain their new coach.
It is going to be the same here. The interesting part will be whether the kid will be allowed NIL or the ability to play while it is being worked out. Hold these kids accountable for their actions.

Yes he will
The legal precedent is one the athletes ability to transfer and control their NIL.

Seriously, it is a contract. We aren't talking about a handshake deal. We are talking about a signed document that you or I would be held accountable for. These kids don't deserve a pass simply because they can play a game. And it looks like the B1G is tired of it as well.
Wisconsin had to deal with this previously.

Well, you could just read the opinion of the lawyer that actually defended the case of Miami versus Wisconsin player.
A. The case is still on going. That would mean he's "defending" the Wisconsin player. Defended is past tense.
B. Of course he's going to have a pro player opinion... he's the guys lawyer in an ongoing case.
JFC you guys are dense.

You and I would not be held accountable for an agreement that violated specific terms of court rulings, a settlement and state law.
Those controlling legal precedents specifically state that a university cannot use NIL or revenue sharing agreements to prevent players from exercising their rights to transfer.
That will include any monetary penalties for transfers or any non transfer clauses.
Those clauses are simply illegal.

Contracts written with language counter to the law and precedent don't magically get to count just because you sign them. If terms of the contract violate law, then they absolutely will not be enforceable.
As others have mentioned, laws and court rulings have already been put in place for these things. The contract cannot supersede those.

I seriously doubt Washington will force him to play. I suspect they'll exact a pound of flesh in the event there was provable tampering. But this no longer the guy they would want to lead the team. Apparently, many of his teammates were attending a memorial service for a Washington women's soccer player, tragically lost to cancer, when Williams made his announcement. His newly-acquired Double-Dealing Demon "D3" moniker reveals how his former teammates feel about him.

Again...... not one kid who plays sports for a school signs a contract. I really hope yall understand that.
