Wisconsin DB Transfers to Miami Without Entering Tranfer Portal

From the article:

Former Wisconsin defensive back Xavier Lucas, who UW refused to enter into the portal after he requested a transfer, is leaving the school for Miami, his attorney Darren Heitner told Yahoo Sports on Wednesday — a groundbreaking move that may have significant ramifications.

The situation is poised to set precedent, both in the ability for schools to enforce revenue-sharing agreements that are contingent on the House settlement's passage and, perhaps more importantly, for players to transfer at any time, even outside the portal windows or without entering the portal at all.

Lucas, a freshman this past season, withdrew from classes at Wisconsin and enrolled academically at Miami. By not formally signing with Miami, he presumably skirts any NCAA transfer rules. He enrolled for the fall 2025 semester but is expected to be reclassified to spring 2025,

The move, for now, avoids a legal filing. Heitner had planned to file suit against the NCAA and Wisconsin over antitrust claims related to the situation, accusing Wisconsin of blatantly violating NCAA rules by not inserting Lucas' name into the portal as he requested and questioning the legality of the NCAA's transfer portal.

Wisconsin officials have remained quiet on the situation. However, the school is declining to enter Lucas into the portal as he signed a two-year revenue-share agreement last month before requesting a transfer.

Again, the NCAA is allowing the lawyers to determine how the sport is governed. This sport is so fucked.
