First, all of this NIL and portal stuff makes me sick. The second article contained in that link is disturbing as well. However, the $1M penalty was mentioned as soon as he made his commitment to transfer. I suspect that some TT booster will pay the $1M.
I have not read the contract/agreement that he signed with UC. I don't believe UC would file a lawsuit if it didn't have merit to the claim(s). Sorsby and his team are already trying to litigate in public. We shall see where this leads.
i'm glad to see UC file the suit. the collegiate model has gone completely off the rails the last few years. unlimited transfers, tampering, agents, etc. i'm glad to see any school try to take a stand. maybe, if some of these agents understand that a deal runs both ways, it might help a little bit, towards calming things down. that, and tightening up the transfer elilgibiility rules, which have gone bye bye.
I think schools should put performance clauses in some of these contracts. If a player who's being paid to play at a certain level and don't perform up to the level he achieved in years prior then the schools not obligated to pay. Athletes today want to be paid like pros they should be expected to play as promised to And I agree with D.A.H something has to be done to calm all this whole NIL/ transfer portal in college sports.
I also agree, if a "student-athlete" signs a NIL contract that stipulates they stay for a certain number of years, then that person should be held accountable. I hope that all schools take note and hold their NIL players to task.
