What will be interesting is if this does go to a legal battle, whether it continues the trend of decisions that basically say "student-athletes are exploited and can do whatever they want because colleges/NCAA are evil and unfair", or whether we're finally starting to get to a tipping point where they say "hey student-athlete, you signed a CONTRACT giving you fair value--or what you thought was fair since you signed--for your services, and you breached it, so we're siding with the school here."

yup, I'm guessing the Badger's legal team is better than the kid's lawyer

His Twitter lawyer... yeah.

And it's not just UW. It's the entire B1G conference.

The kid's handlers made a very bad decision.

Has any program gone out and "bought" and offensive line?  That seems like a great idea.  Cheaper than skill position guys, you get 5 of them...and it'll boost your existing skill position talent.

Michigan plugged a couple holes 2 seasons ago

not sure about tOSU this last season regarding the O-line, but Finebaum thinks they bought a championship

In the OSU thread Mdot just posted about Day's contract extension. Which makes sense for Day since he just won the NC. 

But it made me wonder if the more transactional, short-term nature of NIL and the transfer portal will reduce coaches' negotiating power to get contract extensions. 

Coaches were nearly always able to make sure they had a minimum of 4 years left on whatever contract they signed. Because they--perhaps rightly?--could claim that not having that would impact recruiting, as any prospective recruit wouldn't have a guarantee that the coach they were signing up to go play for would be there the duration of their collegiate experience. 

But now, recruits know they're really not trapped into the first school they sign with, and also know that if they're signing with a coach because they believe in the coach, they can immediately jump ship to wherever the coach ends up next if he doesn't last 4 years. 

Do you think this will start to creep into coaching contracts?
