Pagoda Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Updates on the Demond situation. Dellenger constantly does a good job sourcing info. An update thread on the Demond Williams situation with Washington, per sources to @YahooSports: - Williams signed a one-year rev-share agreement with UW worth about $4M. - The agreement is a Big Ten template document used by all league members and built for situations like this. - The agreement (1) prohibits a player from entering the portal once signed (this is why UW is refusing to enter his name into the portal) and (2) prohibits the player’s NIL rights to be used by any other school, though the player can sign outside marketing agreements. - Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti, coincidentally in Seattle this week for a memorial service, is heavily involved in the matter, along with other Big Ten officials. The league is standing behind UW’s fervent approach to the contract. - Washington officials are expected to communicate later today with Demond Williams’ representatives regarding the situation and next steps. - With UW refusing to enter Williams’ name into the portal, he is not permitted to hold conversations with other programs. - UW officials suspect that Williams has already held conversations with other programs and the school plans to submit any tampering evidence to the league and NCAA. - LSU is believed to be the school most interested in Williams. Very interesting, especially the Big Ten involvement. Home Jersey, AZ Hoosier, go iu bb and 4 others 4 3 Quote

It’s so far beyond time to put some of the onus on the players. If this case doesn’t blow up the system I’m afraid nothing will. BannerVille and skhoosier2 2 Quote

Idk I don’t think that’s the goal. I can’t imagine it is anyway. I wonder if they’ve already paid some of the deal. Or they’re just trying to spearhead blowing it all up.

Pagoda Posted January 8 Posted January 8 UW may also want some sort of buyout, which the contract states UW can set at their discretion. He’s definitely done at UW as we know, but maybe UW wants to get $1-2M in a buyout before he goes? That would be a good outcome if it happened. Would indicate these rev share contacts have some teeth. Quote

Yeah, Hendrickson is also the agent for UW coach, Jedd Fisch, and Williams didn't contact his agent to inform him that he was hitting the portal either. Also, he might have hired Cordell Landers who helped Nico Iamaleava leave Tennessee last year although Landers is denying he is involved here. This is turning into a mess which has Kiffen written all over it. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/demond-williams-agent-washington-qb-college-football-transfer-portal/ Demo and skhoosier2 2 Quote

Whoa...he's going out of his way to bash him too. Insane I have no problem with Hendrickson's approach. Agents have a reputation just a notch or two above lawyers, but in this case, William's actions could have put him in a bad spot. Best to just cut ties and announce it to the world. skhoosier2 and jermhoosierfan 2 Quote
Hovadipo Posted January 9 Author Posted January 9 Thamel reporting that Williams is leaning toward returning to UW. If Fisch allows that, he deserves the lost locker room that he’s about to have. Idiotic. Demo, Home Jersey and Pagoda 3 Quote
