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.

I mean…….what are we doing here? 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.

The NCAA needs to support UW and say that any game he participates that isn’t for UW will be forfeited because an ineligible player.

If you're UW, are you really taking this guy back into the locker room after all this? 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.

Nope but I would pay him the 4 million and help him tank any draft stock he has

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.

Here is more on that. 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.

Well, how could he possibly turn down the sort of wise counsel that Iamaleava got?

The agent put out a release on this instead of just cutting ties and walking away?  Whoa...he's going out of his way to bash him too.  Insane

Lane Kiffin is now destroying this young man’s career.  What a selfish piece of crap

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.
