Dispute centered around rev-sharing leads to Xavier Lucas leaving Wisconsin for Miami

Published January 18, 2025 7:31am EST After battling with the Wisconsin Badgers over the past month about entering his name into the transfer portal, after signing an agreement with the school regarding revenue-sharing, wide receiver Xavier Lucas has now withdrawn from school and enrolled at Miami. This has the makings to be one of the most groundbreaking moves we've seen in college athletics when it comes to how the transfer portal works, and could lead to significant changes in the future. This whole ordeal started when Xavier Lucas decided that he wanted to transfer out of Wisconsin, looking to find a school closer to home, in the eyes of the wide receiver. But there was a problem for Lucas, and it all centered around a two-year agreement he signed with the school that was tied to the upcoming revenue-sharing model that has yet to be approved by a judge, per his attorney, Darren Heitner.

If you aren’t familiar with how the portal works, the school is obligated to enter a player's name into the database once he or she has completed the proper paperwork needed to enter. As we have seen over the past few years, the transfer portal has continued to be one of the most talked about subjects in all of college athletics. Just this year, the rules committee decided to shorten the period of time in which the portal would be open, starting on December 9, and running through December 24.
