Wisconsin’s lawsuit against Miami over the transfer of cornerback Xavier Lucas hinges on one of the most basic tenets of civil law. Tortious interference cases get filed across the country every day.

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.

The lawsuit contends Miami interfered with what it said were binding NIL revenue-sharing contracts with the cornerback.
