AI-assisted summaryUWGB women’s basketball coach Kayla Karius rebuilt her roster primarily through the transfer portal after losing seven players to graduation.The Phoenix added several key players, including local standouts Carley Duffney and Gracie Grzesk, as well as Horizon League star Maddy Skorupski.UWGB is one of only five women’s programs in the nation without a player entering the transfer portal in the past two years.Karius expressed some reservations about the transfer portal’s impact on player development, despite her success using it.Expectations remain high for the Phoenix in the upcoming season, with the team likely to be favored to win the Horizon League.University of Wisconsin-Green Bay women’s basketball coach Kayla Karius and her staff didn’t have much time to relax after the season ended in March with a loss to Alabama in the NCAA Tournament.
UWGB was set to lose seven players to graduation, including all five starters.
The game plan was simple.
“We just knew we needed a lot of people,” said Karius, who led her team to a 29-6 record in her first season at UWGB. “And it covered really every position. I guess the focus really was on guards. We lost (senior forward) Jas (Kondrakiewicz), but we have (senior forward-center) Jenna (Guyer) and (sophomore forward-center) Meghan Schultz who are really excited to fill in behind her. So, more of an emphasis on guards and the fact that we have got to turn around and find people who are going to fill up the scoring and the minutes part of it.
“We certainly want to aim high. We talked about that early. But we also want to stick to our philosophy of trying to find the best local kids.”
The roster is all but complete after a flurry of signings the past couple of months, with just one scholarship remaining but no guarantee it will be used.
UWGB aimed high. It aimed for the best local players.
It appears to have won on both fronts.
It started with South Dakota senior forward and former Green Bay Preble standout Carley Duffney and continued with University of Wisconsin sophomore forward and former Green Bay Notre Dame star Gracie Grzesk.
That would have been a good offseason for some Horizon League teams.
UWGB followed by adding one of the best players in the Horizon in senior guard Maddy Skorupski from Oakland, landed Iowa State senior guard and former Appleton East star Lily Hansford and capped it with the UW-Milwaukee and former Hortonville sister duo of senior guard Kamy Peppler and sophomore guard Kallie Peppler.
The only local talent the Phoenix missed out on was former De Pere guard Jordan Meulemans, who entered the transfer portal after two seasons at Butler and signed with Marquette.
Karius didn’t waste time going after players the team was interested in.
Grzesk said her new coach called just minutes after her name hit the portal. UWGB was the first school to reach out to Kamy Peppler. Duffney already knew Karius well considering she played for her at South Dakota for two seasons before Karius was hired at UWGB.
Karius started using a software program after she arrived in Green Bay that helps filter through more than a thousand names in the portal.
It was a huge improvement from the past, when a person on staff would hit the refresh button over and over to see if a new name was entered.
It was, to say the least, not efficient.
She and her staff now just plug in whatever filters they desire. Perhaps all players from Wisconsin or anybody who averaged more than 4 assists per game.You name it, they can find it. Fast. “As soon as we see names that are in the local area, I do want to be their first call,” Karius said. “Sometimes, I don’t know what direction we are going to go with them yet. Sometimes, it’s a conversation of, ‘What are you looking for?’ We really want people who want to be here. There were kids I felt like I was twisting their arm a little bit to come here.“A lot of them were outside the region. They didn’t have a background of this place. That gets really difficult, because you are like, you don’t know how special this place is. But the majority of kids from the state have been to camp, have been to games. We have always done a really good job of getting young kids in the door.”UWGB has a winning tradition to sell. It has 48 consecutive winning seasons — the second-longest streak in the nation behind only Tennessee — and has been to the NCAA Tournament 20 times.But could it really have expected this type of offseason, filled with so many notable local names and all-conference talent?“I had no idea what to expect,” Karius said, laughing. “You feel this pressure is a privilege feel. You don’t want this to end on your watch. Certainly, we didn’t have to refill a lot of players last year when we got here.“Now, being really the first big amount of kids that our staff is responsible to bring in, it was difficult at times. You are moving really quickly and working really long hours and trying your best to fill this roster with kids that are the right fit. There is some pressure with that. Same we always deal with, but you want to keep this going with the right people. There are 1,500, I think, names in the women’s portal. There is a ton of talent out there. That doesn’t mean that talent fits here at Green Bay. That doesn’t mean that talent fits in our culture of team-first basketball.”
Former guard-forward Lyndsey Robson transferred to the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2021 after starting 48 games during her career for UWGB.
But the Phoenix has been on the other side far more often, from getting Sydney Levy from UWM to Natalie McNeal from St. Louis.
Not one player has entered the portal since Karius was hired in April 2024, even when it would have made sense for a few to leave after former coach Kevin Borseth announced his retirement.
UWGB is one of only five women’s programs in the nation not to have a player enter the portal the last two years, joining Harvard, Army, Air Force and Kent State.
Perhaps even more impressive is that of the six returning players from 2024-25, only Guyer played significant minutes, although reserve guard Maren Westin was averaging 14.5 minutes the first 11 games before tearing an anterior cruciate ligament in a knee.
It would have been easy for others to look elsewhere, but none did.
Not even guard Ellie Buzzelle, who was a full-time starter at Eastern Illinois as a sophomore and played 155 minutes her first season at UWGB.
Karius speaks individually to each player at the end of the year to see if they were happy with their role and the season. She wants to know if they will be OK if transfers arrive and play over them.She believes in being honest. Players appreciate that more than anything.“I think that is even more a sense of pride,” Karius said. “That those players found that they were valued. We celebrated them. We showed their bench celebrations and highlighted that in front of everybody. Just make sure everybody is given the attention and the value that they deserve.“My staff, we all are really intentional about checking in on our players and taking care of them. In turn, they stay. They tell us point blank, ‘I love it here.’”It would seem Karius should love the portal, although it’s not the goal to find six or seven players every season but instead just a few to plug holes.But despite having success adding and not losing players both at UWGB and South Dakota, there is a part of the portal process that doesn’t sit well.“I don’t love the lesson that it teaches kids,” said Karius, who played at UWGB from 2007 to 2011 and is one of the program’s all-time greats. “I would really rather see kids stick it out. I had a tough freshman year. I played, but it was tough for a lot of reasons. But at the time, you had to sit out a year (if you transferred). And then where are you going to go? There was definitely a stigma around it, like, you don’t do that.“Now, the whole perception has changed. I don’t love that lesson, like you don’t have to stick it out anymore. There is a free out that we are teaching kids for the rest of life. It doesn’t just work like that. There is a beauty in fighting through adversity and maybe not getting what you want right now but knowing a year from now if you keep working hard, you are going to get that.”She can’t say what the younger version of herself would have done after her freshman season if it was easier to leave.Karius does know she’s incredibly grateful she didn’t, that instead a veteran teammate like Lavesa Glover spent time with her and encouraged her to keep working hard and that she’d be fine.“I’m just really glad that I stayed,” Karius said.
“We have a lot of really good pieces in place,” Karius said. “You see we are able to bring in the local talent, so they love this place. But let’s talk about them as players. You have three players coming in that have already had success in our league. Then you’ve had a couple players playing up at the higher level, didn’t play that much this year, but practiced against a high level every day and are capable of being really good here. Then you have Carley, who was a double-digit scorer in a comparable league.
“Then you’ve got returners. You’ve got Marty (Westin) who is getting healthy. You’ve got Jenna who had a breakout year, and then Meghan is right behind her. There are a couple shining stars that are waiting their turn. If you just look at all the pieces, we are all really, really excited.”

Why Wisconsin’s lawsuit against Miami brings ‘unprecedented’ moment to college football
In an unprecedented moment in college football, the University of Wisconsin and its NIL collective filed a complaint Friday against the University of Miami, alleging tortious interference.

In an unprecedented moment in college football, the University of Wisconsin and its NIL collective filed a complaint Friday against the University of Miami, alleging tortious interference. Filed Friday in a Wisconsin state circuit court, the Badgers allege that Miami poached freshman defensive back Xavier Lucas, who had signed a revenue-sharing contract with Wisconsin.
It is uncharted waters in college football. In the 23-page suit, Wisconsin is seeking financial damages and a judgment that Miami’s actions “wrongfully interfere with contractual commitments.” Beyond that, however, Wisconsin is enforcing its contract with Lucas. The defensive back’s attorney, Darren Heitner, told On3 on Friday that Lucas was never compensated through the deal by Wisconsin.
Lucas is not named in the suit, instead cited as “Student Athlete A.” But Lucas publicly left Wisconsin for Miami this winter without ever entering the transfer portal. Heitner previously alleged Wisconsin of violating NCAA rules by not putting Lucas into the transfer portal after multiple requests. In the complaint filed Friday, Wisconsin alleges that a Miami staff member and alumnus met Lucas and his family at a relative’s home in Florida.
“Accordingly, at the conclusion of the 2024 season, UW-Madison and VC Connect offered, negotiated, and executed separate NIL contracts with Student-Athlete A, under which he would receive one of the most lucrative NIL financial commitments of any UW-Madison football player,” the complaint states. “Within days of contract execution, however, Miami knowingly induced Student-Athlete A to abandon his contractual commitments to Plaintiffs. As a result of Miami’s actions, Student-Athlete A abruptly left UW-Madison’s football program and enrolled at Miami, causing Plaintiffs to suffer substantial pecuniary and reputational harm.
“Miami’s actions are in direct contravention of not only the NCAA’s established anti-tampering rules—rules designed to maintain the integrity of the transfer process and ensure fair competition among member institutions—but also established contract and tort law.”
In another unprecedented situation, the Big Ten has publicly voiced its backing of Wisconsin for filing the suit, telling On3 in a statement that, “The University of Miami’s actions are irreconcilable with a sustainable college sports framework and is supportive of UW-Madison’s efforts to preserve.” Miami did not immediately respond to a request for comment from On3.
The suit will also put the NCAA transfer rules to the test. In recent years, the college football transfer portal has come under fire from coaches due to the ease with which athletes can hit free agency. Athletes have turned the portal into a payday, too, leveraging schools against each other for the highest contract offer.
But with the House v. NCAA settlement set to officially begin on July 1, revenue-sharing contracts have been drawn up by most of the Power Four in the last six months. Tampering has become prominent in the portal, but there has been minimal enforcement from the NCAA, which has been handicapped by lawsuits.
How a judge decides to rule on this lawsuit could define how the transfer portal is enforced and how revenue-sharing contracts will hold up in the courtroom. It could also prove to be a precedent-setting move if NIL contracts can keep athletes from transferring.
College athletes are currently not classified as employees and do not have collective bargaining power.
“These are the type of tampering allegations that are typically fought behind closed doors at the professional sports level based on the leagues’ collective bargaining agreement,” sports lawyer and professor Dan Lust told On3. “Here, in the absence of any type of similar mechanism at the collegiate level, this dispute is going to be fought in open court for the world to see the complex interplay of forces in and around the transfer portal. This is truly an unprecedented case and one that commands the attention of the college sports world.”

The University of Wisconsin sues Miami for allegedly tampering with former Badger Xavier Lucas
MADISON – The Xavier Lucas saga is far from over.

MADISON – The Xavier Lucas saga is far from over.
Yahoo Sports reported June 20 that the University of Wisconsin and its NIL collective, the Varsity Collective, are suing the University of Miami for what is termed tortious interference with the former Badgers cornerback who is now a part of the Miami Hurricanes football team.

The Journal Sentinel obtained a copy of the 23-page complaint filed in Dane County Circuit Court on June 20. In the document Wisconsin provides a timeline for the NIL agreements it and the Varsity Collective reached with Lucas, offers details of how it alleges the Miami football program tampered with Lucas and allege a broader pattern of tampering in the Miami program with other student-athletes.
Wisconsin seeks damages for the financial and reputational harm it says it experienced, a declaration that Miami’s conduct with Lucas constituted tampering plus any other penalty the court deems proper.
“Now more than ever, it is imperative to protect the integrity and fundamental fairness of the game, including in connection with NIL contracts,” the complaint read. “Indeed, student-athletes’ newfound NIL rights will be rendered meaningless if third parties are allowed to induce student-athletes to abandon their contractual commitments.”
Xavier Lucas had a promising freshman season at Wisconsin
The case stems from Lucas’ controversial departure from the Badgers football program in December. The native of Pompano Beach, Florida, announced his intention to transfer Dec. 19.

Losing Lucas was a blow to UW, which already had lost a handful of players from the secondary to the transfer portal. According to Pro Football Focus, Lucas played more snaps (203) than any freshman on the team last season. He played in all 12 games with one start and registered 18 tackles, one interception and one sack.
With the transfer portal scheduled to close Dec. 28, Lucas posted on X that the Wisconsin football program wrongfully declined to enter his name into the portal, a move that prevented other teams from contacting him without breaking NCAA rules.
In January, Lucas circumvented the transfer portal by withdrawing from Wisconsin and enrolling at Miami. He eventually joined Miami’s football team and participated in spring practice with the Hurricanes.
A few days after Lucas left UW, Wisconsin offered its side of the story. In a statement issued on Jan. 18, the university said it didn’t put Lucas’ name into the transfer portal because he signed a two-year NIL agreement Dec. 2 that it believed was still in effect and enforceable. The university also said Lucas entered into a separate agreement with Varsity Collective, which connects Badger athletes with NIL opportunities.

Wisconsin also said in its January statement that it had credible information that indicated impermissible contact between Lucas and University of Miami personnel.
That information was detailed further in Wisconsin’s legal complaint.

Wisconsin outlines its allegations against Miami
The complaint provides more specific details of the allegations UW made against Miami in December, which include impermissible contact on multiple occasions with Lucas or his representatives. The complaint refers to Lucas as “Student-Athlete A” rather than using his name.
Among the allegations:
* A Miami coach and prominent alumnus visited Lucas at the Florida home of one of his relatives in December. UW says it received information about the in-home visit from a relative of Lucas on Dec. 18.
Advertisement
* UW accused Miami of a broader culture of tampering, alleging that Miami went after a second player even though that player made a written commitment to another school, a commitment that was reflected in the transfer portal. The player wasn’t identified by name.
The University of Wisconsin, Big Ten issue statements
UW issued a statement. Here it is in its entirety.
“The University of Wisconsin-Madison remains committed to ensuring integrity and fundamental fairness in the evolving landscape of college athletics. After reviewing all facts and evaluating options, the university today filed a complaint in Wisconsin state court outlining our allegations against the University of Miami.

“While we reluctantly bring this case, we stand by our position that respecting and enforcing contractual obligations is essential to maintaining a level playing field. In addition to our legal action, we will continue to be proactive to protect the interests of our student-athletes, our program and the broader collegiate athletics community. We appreciate the support of our university leadership and the Big Ten Conference. As we move forward, we will respect the court process and provide further updates only as appropriate.”
The Big Ten Conference, which publically supported UW in January, continued to voice its support.
Here is the statement the league issued to Yahoo on June 20.
“We stand by our position that respecting and enforcing contractual obligations is essential to maintaining a level playing field,” the statement said. “In addition to our legal acton, we will continue to be proactive to protect the interests of our student-athletes, our program and the broader collegiate athletics community.”

The University of Wisconsin and its NIL collective VC Connect filed a joint lawsuit on Friday against the University of Miami alleging it knowingly induced one of the Badgers’ football players to abandon a lucrative name, image and likeness contract to play for the Florida team this upcoming season.
Allegations of tampering rarely get to this level and the 23-page lawsuit, which was filed in state court in Wisconsin and obtained by The Associated Press, is unusual. Depending on its resolution, it could have a wider impact on future NIL deals across college athletics.
The player in question in the filing is referred to only as “Student-Athlete A.” But the case summary describes facts that line up with the situation involving cornerback Xavier Lucas, who last December announced his plans to enter the transfer portal.
Shortly afterward, Darren Heitner, who has been representing Lucas, indicated that Wisconsin was refusing to put Lucas’ name in the portal and that it was hindering his ability to talk with other schools. In January, Heitner announced that Lucas would be playing for Miami this fall.
The situation is fallout from the rapid changes engulfing college athletics, specifically a combination of two things: Athletes went to court and won the ability to transfer with much more freedom and the 2021 NCAA decision clearing the way for them to strike NIL endorsement deals now worth millions of dollars. That has changed the recruiting landscape and forced the issue of contracts and signed commitments to the fore.

The ever-evolving world of college athletics, particularly NIL, may have reached a legal tipping point. The University of Miami now finds itself at the center of a groundbreaking lawsuit filed by the University of Wisconsin and its NIL collective, focused on alleged tampering involving cornerback Xavier Lucas.

According to a report from Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger, the University of Wisconsin and its NIL collective filed a complaint in state circuit court, claiming “tortious interference” by Miami. The complaint alleges that the Hurricanes made impermissible contact with Lucas while he was still under contract with Wisconsin. This is believed to be the first legal action of its kind directly tied to NIL-era tampering.

At the heart of the case is Lucas, a South Florida native who signed a new contract with Wisconsin in December before transferring to Miami in January, without formally entering the NCAA transfer portal. The Badgers allege that Miami knowingly engaged with Lucas despite his existing agreement, which resulted in him breaching that deal and transferring.
“Miami interfered with UW-Madison’s relationship with Student-Athlete A by making impermissible contact with him and engaging in tampering,” the suit reads, with Wisconsin seeking “unspecified damages, transparency, and accountability.”
Advertisement
Whether the courts agree remains to be seen. However, legal experts and college football insiders believe this case could set a precedent for how tampering is defined and enforced moving forward. For now, Lucas remains eligible to play for the Hurricanes this fall, where he’s expected to make an immediate impact on a secondary that allowed the sixth-most passing touchdowns per game in the ACC last season.
Lucas was 247Sports’ 20th overall player and first-ranked cornerback in the transfer portal this offseason. His addition was viewed as a major win for new Hurricanes defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman’s defense, and it now carries potentially significant off-field implications.
As the NIL era continues to evolve, Miami’s role in this case could shape how schools recruit, retain, and protect their athletes and navigate the legal lines surrounding NIL, player contracts, and tampering. The Hurricanes have not yet issued a public statement on the lawsuit.

The University of Wisconsin and its NIL collective, VC Connect, filed a joint lawsuit on Friday against the University of Miami, alleging it knowingly induced one of the Badgers’ football players to abandon a lucrative name, image and likeness contract to play for the Hurricanes this upcoming season.
Allegations of tampering rarely get to this level, and the 23-page lawsuit, which was filed in state court in Wisconsin and obtained by The Associated Press, is unusual. Depending on its resolution, it could have a wider impact on future NIL deals across college athletics.
The player in question in the filing is referred to only as “Student-Athlete A.” But the case summary describes facts that line up with the situation involving cornerback Xavier Lucas, who last December announced his plans to enter the transfer portal.

That has changed the recruiting landscape and forced the issue of contracts and signed commitments to the fore.
“Indeed, student-athletes’ newfound NIL rights will be rendered meaningless if third parties are allowed to induce student-athletes to abandon their contractual commitments,” a portion of the lawsuit reads.
Wisconsin said in January that it had credible information that Miami and Lucas made impermissible contact with each other before the former Badgers cornerback decided to transfer.
Wisconsin and VC Connect allege that the inducement for Lucas to attend Miami happened within days of him entering his NIL agreement to play for the Badgers, and that they incurred substantial monetary and reputational harm. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and “a declaration that Miami’s conduct directed towards Student-Athlete A constituted tampering.”
A message left with the University of Miami seeking comment was not immediately returned. In a text message Friday, Heitner declined to comment on the lawsuit but he said that Lucas still plans to attend Miami and play football.
Wisconsin said it had the support of its leadership and the Big Ten Conference in filing the lawsuit, noting its commitment to “ensuring integrity and fundamental fairness in the evolving landscape of college athletics.”
“While we reluctantly bring this case, we stand by our position that respecting and enforcing contractual obligations is essential to maintaining a level playing field,” the statement said. “In addition to our legal action, we will continue to be proactive to protect the interests of our student-athletes, our program and the broader collegiate athletics community.
Lucas, who is from Pompano Beach, Florida, had 12 tackles, an interception and a sack as a freshman for Wisconsin last season.
Heitner said that Lucas hasn’t received any money from Wisconsin and therefore owes no money to the school. Heitner also argued that Wisconsin had violated an NCAA bylaw by not entering Lucas into the transfer database within two business days of the player’s request.
Wisconsin issued a statement at the time saying it hadn’t put Lucas’ name in the portal because he had entered a two-year binding NIL agreement.
In April, the surprise transfers of brothers Nico and Madden Iamaleava from Tennessee to UCLA prompted fresh questions about contracts and buyouts.
Nico Iamaleava, who led Tennessee to the College Football Playoff last season, walked away from a reported $2.4 million NIL contract. Arkansas freshman quarterback Madden Iamaleava entered the portal after spring practices wrapped up.
Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek released a statement indicating he would support efforts by the Razorbacks’ NIL collective to enforce buyout clauses in athlete contracts. Iamaleava reportedly had a contract valued at $500,000 upon signing with Arkansas.
