Looks like Uthoff doesn't care what restrictions Ryan has placed. He's transferring to Iowa, a Big Ten member. He says he'll pay his own way for the sit-out year. And he can do so easily because he's an Iowa resident.
Ryan's prohibition was levied on Iowa institutionally, prohibiting Iowa from contacting Uthoff. So can Uthoff defeat Ryan's prohibition by contacting Iowa? Enrolling at Iowa? Walking on at Iowa?
So now that Uthoff has challenged Ryan, what will be his response? Can the Big Ten do anything? If it can, will it?
