OK Legal Eagles… I think the B10 just had the NCAA make a significant portal rule change…
Summary
B10 rule effectively requires multi-year contracts to prevent portal entry; tampering violation becomes self-evident if school fails to enter player.
Help me read this clearly.
The B10 asked for a change… that if I’m reading it right… makes it so that the school ALWAYS ASSUMES… a player is transferring after one year (and the school must naturally enter the player in the portal)… unless he has a settled agreement with the school that says… “Don’t enter me in the portal for 2+ years”… as part of his settled agreement?
— So on the surface, it looks like a sly way to get a multi-year contract with the players by using the Transfer Portal Notification Rule?!
— Is this how legal minds are interpreting this 1st part too?
In the second part - the NCAA is saying:
We hold this truth to be self evident… that since the player is getting more benefits… the act of the player transferring… is the evidence of the tampering violation… and we don’t need to prove anything else.
… The violation is self evident… unless the school can prove otherwise.
Also, from the 1st part, the school knows it must enter the player in the portal… that is now the standard… unless there is a settled agreement not to (no mystery). So obviously… there was tampering if the school didn’t enter the player (because they have an agreement).
