💨 Abstract

The University of Wisconsin sued the University of Miami, alleging it persuaded a football player, potentially Xavier Lucas, to transfer and thus break a name, image, and likeness (NIL) contract. The lawsuit, filed in Wisconsin state court, could influence future NIL deals. Lucas had aimed to enter the transfer portal but encountered resistance, eventually deciding to play for Miami. The legal battle highlights changes in college athletics, with increased transfer freedoms and NIL deals.
