What is DeMond Williams' impact on college football?
It's the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day. DeMond Williams might have the power to change college football forever.
You are Locked On College Crossover, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. Welcome, and it is a Locked On College Crossover of Hoosiers and Nittany Lions. I'm Jacob Goins of Locked On Hoosiers. He is Zach Sacco of Locked On Nittany Lions. Thank you so much for joining us on today's episode, making both of our respective shows your first listen or your first watch every single day, and for making the Locked On Podcast Network the number one sports podcasting network ever. in the world. We have so much to go over on today's show. We'll make predictions for the college football playoff because believe it or not, the semifinals are here. We'll talk about both games at the end of today's show, but Zach, DeMond Williams and Washington in a massive argument, disagreement, and probably legal battle.
It's a simple misunderstanding. Right, this is just, it happens, right? Just a couple of million dollars. There may or may not have been a signature somewhere. Max having your team. But DeMond Williams very well might have the power to change the future of college football and college athletics forever, depending on how this situation plays out in Seattle. Uh, if the NCAA does anything about it. Uh, yes. So he has the potential, he has the power, but it's only at the NCAA finally does something. So this is where we have two segments to really go through this because this is not just a, Oh, let's just hit this on the surface level. No, we got to start digging here. Uh, DeMond Williams, look, you signed an agreement first and foremost.
Let's start there. You made the decision. I don't care what LSU came over to you and said, hey, here's what we have in an agreement. Because clearly LSU wanted Brendan Sorsby or they were targeting Rocco Becht as well. And then I guess things didn't work out with Sam Levitt for whatever reason, or maybe they'll circle back to him, but they're probably, but here's the thing. They're going to end up with DeMond Williams. This is how this is going to go. I don't see anybody stopping this. Washington, Washington wouldn't be recruiting former Penn State quarterback Bo Pribula if they didn't see the writing on the wall with this. So yes, Demond Williams has the power to change college athletics as we know it, but we kind of did see this last, last time around.
I don't remember his name, but the Wisconsin player that ended up transferring over to Miami. So is this kind of a, okay, first time we're going to let it slide. Second time, this can't keep happening. It really is out of control, and it's been great reporting. The reporting that Ross Dellinger has done over at Yahoo to leak the agreements and how these other schools operate, you basically need private equity, whether it's out in the open like Utah. or something that's behind the scenes that is bankrolling your roster. And the clearinghouse and what NCAA does, the NCAA has the power. They just don't want to go to court about it because they lose almost every single time. At some point, you got to say, this is our league.
We have rules. You need to follow them. I don't understand why that argument isn't made on a legal basis because the players, the coaches, the billion-dollar donors don't get to run the league. The NCAA does. Okay, imagine if Major League Baseball, just the players and the team said, we're going to make up all the rules and Major League Baseball has to. No, no, that's not how it works. The league is designated as it is. The NCAA can do the same thing, They're just scared. So it's time to put up or shut up again or we're going to have this fiasco play out because this sets precedent one way or another, either for the ideal and the foundation of the sport or that you can back out of any agreement at any point in time.
DeMond Williams is a star player. He is known. And it's going to set precedent to say, oh, I can do this also. Insert player ABC later on in the future and more of them, not just one-off examples.
