The University of Wisconsin and its NIL collective have sued the University of Miami, saying it knowingly induced one of the Badgers’ football players to abandon a lucrative name, image and likeness contract to play for the Florida school this fall.

Wisconsin alleges Miami committed “tortious interference” after a Hurricanes staffer and a “prominent” alum met with Lucas and his family in Florida and offered financial compensation to head to the ACC school despite knowing of his deal with Wisconsin, per ESPN.

According to documents obtained by Ross Dellenger of Yahoo! Sports, Wisconsin is bringing civil litigation against Miami in state circuit court for allegedly tampering with cornerback Xavier Lucas during the 2024 season.
