Wisconsin and 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. Allegations of tampering rarely get to this level and the 23-page lawsuit, which was filed in state court in Wisconsin and obtained by The Associated Press, is unusual. Depending on its resolution, it 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. Miami and Lucas were in talks before transfer decision, Wisconsin says 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.

Celtics Make 'No-Brainer' Payton Pritchard Announcement on Friday

Celtics Make 'No-Brainer' Payton Pritchard Announcement on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. While the Boston Celtics fell short of their championship aspirations in 2024-25, the team had some notable bright spots shine throughout this past year's NBA campaign. Advertisement Fifth-year Celtics guard Payton Pritchard put together the best season of his young NBA career, averaging a career-high 14.3 points on 47.2% shooting from the field and 40.7% shooting from behind the three-point arc. Pritchard accomplished these impressive statistics through 77 games off the bench in 2024-25. As such, he was recognized with the NBA's coveted Sixth Man of the Year trophy earlier this year. Unsurprisingly, Pritchard was also recognized as the Celtics' Sixth Man of the Year winner in an announcement on Friday. "The biggest no-brainer of our Awards Series: our Sixth Man of the Year," the team wrote on X. This Sixth Man of the Year trophy marks Pritchard's second honor of the Celtics' postseason award series. The former No. 26 pick was also recognized as the team's Most Improved Player. Advertisement The Celtics still have one more postseason award to announce: the Sharpshooter of the Year. Pritchard is certainly a candidate for this award as well as he boasted the team's best three-point percentage of any player averaging at least one attempt per game. Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (11).Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images The Celtics' 2024-25 season came to an end with a second-round playoff loss the the New York Knicks. In Game 4, Boston superstar Jayson Tatum suffered an Achilles tendon tear. With Tatum out for the majority of the 2025-26 season, Pritchard will likely serve an even more integral role in the Celtics' upcoming NBA campaign.

Dodgers' Dave Roberts Says Padres' Mike Shildt 'Made it Personal' Amid Fernando Tatis Jr. Drama

Dodgers' Dave Roberts Says Padres' Mike Shildt 'Made it Personal' Amid Fernando Tatis Jr. Drama originally appeared on Athlon Sports. During the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres game on Thursday night, there was a benches-clearing altercation between the two teams. It occurred after Fernando Tatis Jr. was hit by a pitch, and it escalated when Padres manager Mike Shildt and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts went at it on the field. Advertisement After the game, Roberts commented on the altercation. He first started by making a point that the Tatis hit-by-pitch was unintentional. Robert's comments were shared by Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic on Twitter/X. "[That was] the last thing I wanted," Roberts said of Tatis getting hit by a pitch. "[I] didn't feel good when it happened." But, while Roberts called the hit-by-pitch unintentional, Shildt, in the moment, didn't think so. He walked onto the field and began yelling at the Dodgers' dugout, and Roberts specifically. That reaction from Shildt sparked Roberts' action to come on the field, which he elaborated on postgame. Advertisement "I felt that he was trying to make it personal with me," Roberts said. "Which then, I take it personal." On the broadcast, Roberts and Shildt can be seen confronting one another behind home plate, with Roberts pushing Shildt away. The altercation will likely be met with fines or other ramifications. But, in the meantime, Roberts and Shildt spoke ill of one another postgame. Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts (30) yells at San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt (8) after benches cleared in the eighth inning at Dodger Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Due to Roberts' feeling as if Shildt was making things personal, he reacted harshly in response. The drama was heightened due to previous incidents of Tatis getting hit by Dodgers pitching, which led Shildt to, in the words of Roberts, "make it personal." Advertisement Both teams will have time to cool off. Before they face each other again. Their next matchup comes in Los Angeles on Friday, August 15th. Just a couple of days later, the Dodgers make the trip to San Diego on August 21st, which is the last time the two teams would face each other in 2025, barring a postseason collision. Roberts' comments indicate he felt things were personal, and while there is plenty of time to cool off, Roberts might not do so. It's two months away, but the next series involving the two teams could be a time for retaliation. Roberts, feeling that Shildt made things personal, will likely have that date marked on his calendar.
