The contract bounds him to Washington, he is not allowed to play anywhere else. It's not like a coaching contract where they can be bought out, fired, etc. It is essentially a "no trade clause" like the NBA.

Then why is Xavier Lucas going to play for Miami tonight and not in Wisconsin?

Yall will see how this works out soon enough, nobody is going to stop him from going wherever he wants

Demond Demas?

Just reported he hired a lawyer that specializes in NCAA cases and after discussions today he's leaning to staying at Washington.

He overplayed his hand by a contract he willfully entered into.

Apparently nobody want to play qb at LSU

They told Leavitt to hit the road when Demond became an option. If they don't get him they are in trouble.

LSU has zero QBs right now. Maybe they just rely on their historic running game next year? They will lead the SEC in time of possession!

And it's done

Washington quarterback Demond Williams has announced his intent to return to Washington. He’d announced earlier this week he’d intended to transfer. pic.twitter.com/wABgy71d34

Oh My, LSU is screwed...

Anything that pisses off Joey Freshwater is alright with me!

My thoughts on this whole thing is if you're Washington do you want him as your QB? How can you trust him to be fully invested with everything that's happened? Their will continue to be lingering doubt everytime he misses a pass or throws an INT on if his heart's truly in it for Washington.

That's a major uh oh spaghettios situation there in baton rouge now

Tiger droppings it is for my nightly read

Feel free to share some gold nuggets here

I imagine it's like a holdout situation in the NFL. Its just business for now, but once the pads go on all is forgotten. I mean the QB still wants to perform for his "next contract".

I guess it also depends on what happened behind the scenes. What was threatened or sweetened to change his mind?

There's an issue of enforceability, but interesting nonetheless

If he had left, Demond Williams or his new school would have owed Washington the value of his contract ($4 million), sources tell @YahooSports. His new school would have also incurred a reduction in its revenue-share pool next year by that amount, per House settlement guidelines https://t.co/bJN6y3OQOY

Dud the fact that this is a rev share deal with the school and not a third party NIL contract have anything to do with him staying?

A lot of posters are still under the false impression that all the money being paid to players now is from NiL contracts.

Revenue sharing is also an NIL contract. The contracts specifically says it's not an employment agreement.

But yes, that the contract was with the school and not some third-party did make a difference in my opinion.

I don't think there's any panic amongst LSU fans yet. There is an understanding that the rebuild won't happen in one offseason. Kelly missed on Bryce Underwood in the '25 class, which put LSU behind the 8ball in recruiting QBs for '26. Pop Houston is a top 10 QB committed for '27, but even before Kelly was fired, the understanding was that they'd need to hit the portal for at least 2 QBs.
The story broke today that Tech owes Cincinnati $1mil from its rev share for Sorsby. It's reported above that UW would be owed $4mil for Williams. Are they worth that kind of money when you're replacing 30 portal entries? Many of LSU's portal commitments thus far are multi-year eligibility guys, which leads me to believe the staff is rebuilding roster depth in addition to adding contributors to plug and play.

You know you lost the high ground when you get fired by your agent.
