With a new NIL system comes new NIL problems...
quote:

Six former Florida State basketball players filed a lawsuit Monday against their former coach, Leonard Hamilton, over unpaid promises of NIL compensation that total $1.5 million and acknowledged within the documents that they boycotted a practice last season over the missed payments.

The six plaintiffs — Darin Green Jr., Josh Nickelberry, Primo Spears, Cam’Ron Fletcher, De’Ante Green and Jalen Warley — allege that Hamilton promised each of them $250,000 in NIL payments from the coach’s “business partners.”

The players never received the payments despite Hamilton promising the money to each member of the 2023-24 team in two separate team meetings as well as in individual conversations with some players and their families. Several players transferred to Florida State under the assurance that they would receive the money.

I remember when players loved the schools they played for and just wanted to win. I miss those days.

Yep...it's just a job now. Gonna have to build in monetary incentives for players to give that extra bit to win nowadays.

Welcome to the real world kids.

Kind of hoping they win. Will prevent coaches from purging players from other programs based on promises alone.

Coaches don't do NIL and don't have that authority, as I understand it, so I don't see how this goes anywhere.

Coaches make NIL promises all the time in recruiting.

Unless it's in writing, that means diddly-squat. They have no case.
