Wisconsin, NIL collective sue Miami, allege tampering and NIL inducements to land football player
The University of Wisconsin and its NIL collective VC Connect filed a joint lawsuit on Friday against the University of Miami alleging it knowingly induced one of the Badgers' football players to abandon a lucrative name, image and likeness contract to play for the Florida this upcoming season. The 23-page suit, which was filed in state court in Wisconsin and obtained by The Associated Press, could have a a wider impact on future NIL deals across college athletics. The player in question in the filing is referred to only as 'Student-Athlete A.' But the case summary describes facts that line up with the situation involving cornerback Xavier Lucas, who last December announced his plans to enter the transfer portal. Shortly afterward, Darren Heitner, who has been representing Lucas, indicated that Wisconsin was refusing to put Lucas' name in the portal and that it was hindering his ability to talk with other schools. In January, Heitner announced that Lucas would be playing for Miami this fall. The situation is fallout from the rapid changes engulfing college athletics, specifically a combination of two things: Athletes went to court and won the ability to transfer with much more freedom and the 2021 NCAA decision clearing the way for them to strike NIL endorsement deals now worth millions of dollars. That has changed the recruiting landscape and forced the issue of contracts and signed commitments to the fore. 'Indeed, student-athletes' newfound NIL rights will be rendered meaningless if third parties are allowed to induce student-athletes to abandon their contractual commitments,' a portion of the lawsuit reads. Wisconsin said in January that it had credible information that Miami and Lucas made impermissible contact with each other before the former Badgers cornerback decided to transfer. Wisconsin and VC Connect allege that the inducement for Lucas to attend Miami happened within days of him entering his NIL agreement to play for the Badgers, and that they incurred substantial monetary and reputational harm. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and 'a declaration that Miami's conduct directed towards Student-Athlete A constituted tampering.' A message left with the University of Miami seeking comment was not immediately returned. In a text message Friday, Heitner declined to comment on the lawsuit but he said that Lucas still plans to attend Miami and play football. Wisconsin said it had the support of its leadership and the Big Ten Conference in filing the lawsuit, noting its commitment to 'ensuring integrity and fundamental fairness in the evolving landscape of college athletics.' 'While we reluctantly bring this case, we stand by our position that respecting and enforcing contractual obligations is essential to maintaining a level playing field,' the statement said. 'In addition to our legal action, we will continue to be proactive to protect the interests of our student-athletes, our program and the broader collegiate athletics community. Lucas, who is from Pompano Beach, Florida, had 12 tackles, an interception and a sack as a freshman for Wisconsin last season. Heitner said that Lucas hasn't received any money from Wisconsin and therefore owes no money to the school. Heitner also argued that Wisconsin had violated an NCAA bylaw by not entering Lucas into the transfer database within two business days of the player's request. Wisconsin issued a statement at the time saying it hadn't put Lucas' name in the portal because he had entered a two-year binding NIL agreement. In April, the surprise transfers of brothers Nico and Madden Iamaleava from Tennessee to UCLA prompted fresh questions about contracts and buyouts. Nico Iamaleava, who led Tennessee to the College Football Playoff last season, walked away from a reported $2.4 million NIL contract. Arkansas freshman quarterback Madden Iamaleava entered the portal after spring practices wrapped up. Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek released a statement indicating he would support efforts by the Razorbacks' NIL collective to enforce buyout clauses in athlete contracts. Iamaleava reportedly had a contract valued at $500,000 upon signing with Arkansas. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here . AP college football: and

Wisconsin lawsuit accuses Miami of tampering to nab football transfer
The University of Wisconsin and its NIL collective filed a complaint in state circuit court against the University of Miami on Friday, claiming tortious interference in a dispute over former cornerback Xavier Lucas, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post. Wisconsin claims Miami tampered with its revenue-sharing agreement with Lucas, who left the school in January to enroll at Miami. The lawsuit — for unspecified damages — highlights questions over how schools can enforce tampering within revenue-sharing agreements following the House v. NCAA settlement's June 6 approval, which permitted colleges to directly pay athletes for the first time. 'After reviewing all facts and evaluating options, the university today filed a complaint in Wisconsin state court outlining our allegations against the University of Miami,' the school said in a statement to The Washington Post. 'While we reluctantly bring this case, we stand by our position that respecting and enforcing contractual obligations is essential to maintaining a level playing field.' Lucas established himself as a standout defensive back during his freshman season, playing in all 12 of the team's games and becoming a starter by year's end. The Pompano Beach, Florida, native had being earning 'substantial compensation' for his name, image and likeness from Wisconsin's collective starting last June, and by December, the school and the collective each offered him an NIL contract in a bid to retain his services, according to the 23-page lawsuit. Through his contract with the school, Lucas's compensation — 'one of the largest NIL financial commitments of any [Wisconsin] student-athlete' — would begin in July 2025, conditioned on the court's approval of the House settlement. His deal with the collective would pay him during the period before his university contract took effect. The former agreement gave Wisconsin exclusive license to Lucas's NIL rights for two years. Per that contract, the school said Lucas 'warranted that he had not previously made, and would not make, any agreement that conflicted with' the university contract and that he 'further represented that he would not make any similar commitment to enroll at or compete in athletics for another college or university.' Lucas asked Wisconsin on Dec. 17 to enter his name in the transfer portal and publicly stated his intentions to transfer two days later. His attorney told Yahoo Sports that Lucas requested the transfer after learning that his father suffered a 'serious, life-threatening illness.' Wisconsin — which had 48 hours to submit Lucas's name to the portal, per NCAA rules — did not, sparking a standoff with Lucas. On Dec. 27, he wrote in a since-deleted social media post, 'At the moment Wisconsin is refusing to release me into the transfer portal. I've met all NCAA requirements of the transfer portal process. I've yet to be put into the transfer portal by Wisconsin which is impeding my ability to speak with schools.' Other schools may not contact an athlete until their name has been added to the portal. The December transfer portal window closed Dec. 28. Lucas formally left Wisconsin on Jan. 13 and said he was academically enrolling at Miami. Days later, Wisconsin released a statement saying its 'binding' agreement with Lucas was violated, adding, 'We have credible information indicating impermissible contact between Xavier and University of Miami football program personnel prior to Xavier's request to enter the transfer portal.' Wisconsin's lawsuit claims that Miami had impermissible contacts with Lucas throughout December and January; that the school offered a more lucrative 'compensation commitment' to lure him from Wisconsin; and that Miami representatives facilitated Lucas's January enrollment after the deadline for spring transfer enrollment had passed. 'Miami knowingly induced [Lucas] to abandon his contractual commitments to Plaintiffs,' it said. 'Miami's actions are in direct contravention of not only the NCAA's established anti-tampering rules … but also established contract and tort law.' Miami did not respond to a request for comment in time for publication. Lucas's attorney, who has denied allegations of tampering, declined to comment, citing the fact that Lucas is not a defendant in the lawsuit. Wisconsin is seeking damages because it claims Miami's alleged tampering caused it to 'suffer substantial pecuniary and reputational harm,' including the 'loss of a student-athlete with valuable NIL rights' and the 'loss of financial benefits [Wisconsin] stood to receive from [Lucas's] continued participation in its football program.' The collective is claiming a loss of financial and promotional benefits that it anticipated receiving. Lucas recorded 18 tackles, one sack, one interception and two pass breakups last season. Miami enters the fall having added Lucas and three other cornerbacks from the portal to its transfer class, which 247 Sports ranked third nationally.

Panthers parade set for Sunday in Fort Lauderdale. Here's what you need to know
As Fort Lauderdale prepares for the Florida Panthers' second straight Stanley Cup championship parade, city officials and fans are offering key advice for navigating the celebration. With large crowds expected, transportation and parking will be major considerations for anyone heading to the beachside event. Parade route and rally details The parade begins at noon Sunday on A1A at Riomar Street and continues south to Southeast 5th Street, where a rally will be held on a stage. Crews have already started setting up barricades and building the stage along the beach. "The Elbo Room all the way down the beach. It's gonna be amazing," said Rich Rodriguez, who attended last year's celebration. Rodriguez and his friend Alex Guzman described the 2023 event as a once-in-a-lifetime experience—and one that gave them important insight into planning for this year's festivities. "If you're driving here, you're just gonna get stuck somewhere," Rodriguez said. Parking, transportation and arrival tips The City of Fort Lauderdale says 26 nearby parking garages will be open for the event, but walking distances to the venue could range from five minutes to over an hour. "Parking is gonna be difficult. So make sure you use ride share or carpool. Water taxi will be available," said Mayor Dean Trantalis. Rodriguez and Guzman opted for the water taxi last year and say it's the way to go. "It's well worth it. You don't have to drive. If you're drinking you don't have to worry about anything like that. The traffic. You can see there are two lanes on the road and it's gonna be really really crowded," Rodriguez said. Rodriguez added that he arrived at the water taxi about three and a half hours before the start of the parade last year. "Last time we got here at about 8:30 and there were already hundreds of thousands of people here. And it was stormy," he said. Police presence and safety measures Fort Lauderdale police say there are no known threats to the event. Officials added that it will be "all hands on deck," meaning nearly every officer not on vacation will be working during Sunday's parade.
