Willock Family file lawsuit against UGA, Jalen Carter

Money grab from what could be called an estranged father.

It sounds like uga will put up a defense.

I know legalities and the law itself are complicated, but I can’t imagine how a man in a separate vehicle could be held responsible in any way for DW’s death. I would think that suit would be better directed at the Lecroy family (though I wish there was no suit at all) but that family isn’t an impending cash cow like Carter is.

Makes absolutely zero sense to go after Jalen for doing the same thing Devin was doing.

Devin wasn't the driver. If they could somehow prove that Jalen was responsible for starting the drag racing with a drunk Lecroy, that would be the angle they are trying to approach. I don't agree with it, but obviously Jalen is the one with money here and not the backing of the State like the University.

Like I said, if they really wanted money from JC, that should have been some private conversations way before litigation about donations, foundation, etc. Now, maybe thats happened and JC told him to pound sand. Who knows.

And that is why I sort of expect Morrisette to be dismissed. The program perception was suffering on the heels of all this (I mean, we all know what’s what, but nationally speaking the casual media perceived Kirby to not have as much control as he should) and then he goes and gets arrested on some moronic driving related offenses.

Unless they find an email of a coach or staff telling her to drive them around that night..not sure they have anything.

Jalen possibly if they get any video or 3rd party confirming he was part of the cause.

No doubt there are texts out there that shouldn’t see light.

Good. Trying to exploit your son's death for your own financial gain makes you a piece of shite. $40M isn't some pain and suffering settlement.

But they saw boobs at toppers!

Who hasn't. Grow up.

According to the dad's attorney, some high schoolers saw them at toppers too.

UGA isn't a warden. Kids go places. On their own free will if you would believe it.

I wouldn't dismiss Morissette because of the mistakes of others.

The complicating factor is that this is ANOTHER automobile-related set of charges when it's already a tense subject. There were scores of articles written between the crash and draft day questioning the "culture" of the team.

Now Morrisette loses his mind and tack on ANOTHER set of charges? The DUI is bad enough, but the timing is what might be the straw that broke the camel's back, if indeed he is dismissed.

I hope for his sake he gets another chance but if he doesn't, it's not like he could say they didn't know it was such a sore subject.

The university system, professional sports and the players themselves have a huge opportunity to change what is a poor minority culture in the U.S.
Many of these high school kids have been raised rather not raised properly in a a drug, gang, rap culture that is not healthy.
These guys need training in life when they get into college and need to understand the negative financial consequences of poor behavior.
All it takes is one bad choice like this for young people to be killed and for the lives of the survivors to be scarred forever.

If enough of these players in college and in the pros can be enlightened and enough of them go back to their communities to enlighten those they left behind, them perhaps over time a rotten culture can be transformed into something much more positive.
