Really crazy.
That’s an example of why I think a Group of 5 playoffs would produce some great games.

Looks like the Huskies will be in the market for a new QB. He signed a new NIL deal with them four days ago. My guess he ends up at LSU or Miami.

Despite deal at Washington, Demond Williams Jr. to transfer
Washington quarterback Demond Williams Jr. said on social media Tuesday night that he is entering the transfer portal, a move that comes just days after he agreed to return to the Huskies for the 2026 season.
Meh...
Contracts aren't worth too much, and all they can do is spend money in court, and in no way can they force him to play, sit out maybe but even that's unlikely I'd guess.
Seems like this happened already in the NOL era, can't remember the uoutcome

Huh....
Dick's burgers and soy lattes only get you so far these days...
Make that a big bag of Dick’s.
Texas Tech just payed $5 million for their new QB. Hopefully if they get back into the CFP, they’ll score more than zero.

Probably talking north of 3 million for Williams.
It has and as you suspect still paying the lawyers….

I meant those contracts aren't airtight enforceable at this point, and the ensuing court cases will probably drag on for a while, further illustrating just how screwed up the rollout for the latest iteration of pay to play has been.
I get it. I’ve heard there is language in the contracts that specify you can’t enter the transfer portal, but I can’t confirm that. There is probably a judge somewhere that would rule against that. It would be interesting to see an actual signed NIL contract. It sure seems like a super secret process. It would seem situations like this are going to keep the terms and conditions in the contracts changing over time. It’s basically the Wild West now.
I guess my point is that people keep referring to the players as “kids”. The fact is they are over 18, have representation and are signing legal documents. If you or I sign a contract and don’t fulfill it, we are likely to get sued and face consequences. I don’t know how much teeth these contracts have in them, but there needs to be some guidelines for everyone to follow.
Folks complain about coaches leaving, but their contracts also include buyout clauses.
Why can’t players NIL contracts also have these? I don’t want him back playing for the Dawgs since he’s shown he doesn’t want to be here, but it would be nice if LSU, Miami or whoever poached him had to kick is some $$$$ to get him out of the signed contract.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

The Red Raiders scored 34 against BYU to win the big 12. They scored in the 30's and 40's against every team on their schedule with the exception of Arizona St. So why did they get shutout in the Orange bowl? Sure as hell wasn't because of QB issues.Make that a big bag of Dick’s.

Yeah, it seems like with NFL contracts it wouldn't be hard to have some standardized language that both sides agree to, but that sort of language was a NFLPA and owners thing, and as there's no NCAA players group as a legal entity (that carries the weight of NFLPA) negotiating the language seems to be a case by case basis, like you mentioned this sort of top secret deal.
Only takes one judge to blow things up.

He was a senior too. So someone new has to step in. I guess you can spend some big coin or develop young kids. But then they leave if they don’t play right away. It’s tough right now.
The flip side is schools promise these kids $$$. They get them to the school then back out of the financial commitment, so what happens when the other side (school) backs out? What recourse does the player have other then with holding out his services. Has happened to several players. Like Stonedfish said this is the Wild West and things are being made up on the fly.

It was interesting listening to this young man speak after Navy beat Cincinnati's mostly 2nd and 3rd string kids. As I understand it, his sports future is in intramural football at the Air Force flight school.
