The University of Wisconsin filed a suit on Miami University on Friday, formally Florida School accused of tampering with a football player under a financial contract with Bazers.
The decision to sue the college athletics can become a watershed moment in the current era. Never before has a university accused of tampering with one of one of its athletes, who did not have a contract before the morning of name, image and equality rights in this decade.
The school said in a statement to ESPN on Friday, “When we reluctantly bring the matter, we stand out of our position that respecting and implementing the contractual obligations is necessary to maintain a level playground.”
Although the case of Wisconsin only refers to the player as a student athlete A, the theme of the case is Carnerback Xavier Lucas, who left Wisconsin and enrolled in Miami in winter, without entering the transfer portal anytime.
At that time it was reported that Wisconsin refused to name Lucas to the transfer portal. Lucas signed a two-year contract with Bazes in December 2024-a deal that did not give any right to the football program to use its zero, but also stopped him from being committed to admission or participate in athletics in another school.
Lucas enrolled in Miami in January.
The case of Wisconsin alleged that a Miami employee and a prominent alumni of the school met with Lucas and his family and offered money to move it.
