Yeah, that would be tough to live up to.
Good for them for even threatening legal action. Sure they got paid by Miami, so they got something out of the deal, but these free transfers are going to have to be addressed.
The NCAA needs to either require players to sign 2-year contracts (with severe clawback provisions in place) or adopt a soccer-like process with transfer fees required for player movement…..or maybe some combination of both.
All parties are getting smarter as this evolves. Contracts should be written with scheduled payments based on conditions met, such as number of games played, to include finishing the season and any Bowl games.
All of us working for a living are paid for performance, including professional athletes so these quasi-pro athletes masquerading as amateurs should have the same experience. These ADs are employers and should be able to hire/fire based on performance, needs and talent availability.
Interesting it took so long.
From the look of things he’s gonna have stiff competition.
