I don't think anyone knows. They changed the rules without really establishing new ones, so the schools and players are going to be testing this stuff for a while. Lot of lawsuits coming - letting the courts sort it out instead of thinking it through. Lawyers will get rich, schools will spend money on things they shouldn't, players will get caught between the agents and the schools and may/may not come out ahead.

Georgia is seeking more that 30K.
As I pointed out already, Georgia has to go with the breech of contract route because Wilson declined arbitration.
Whoever is advising Wilson that it was not a legal contract is not doing him any favors.

Ok, but the damages are the same regardless, right?
Yes and no. The collective isn't paying him to play. If they doled out money already for ads then that's damages in addition to the $30,000. Georgia is suing and not the collective. Georgia is suing mostly for liquidated damages which aren't realized damages. Why isn't the collective suing? Also, what he signed in the middle of practice, stated it would be "used to create a legally binding document.” and to "seek legal counsel" prior to signing a full agreement.
Personally, I just find this interesting and can't wait for more of the details in the contract. I also want to know why the kid bolted after only one week. A lot of people sign contracts not realizing they are contracts. A lot of people also take advantage of those people. Then there's people who think they can get away with taking the money and running.

While, according to the rules they are not, I don't think it is too far stretched to say they are paying him to play. Look, all they have to say is "We offered Wilson X-amount of dollars to do some advertising tied to a certain market. We feel he is worth that money only if he is playing in the target market. He took the money, then left that market. We did not have time, once he left, to offer that money to another recruit in that targeted market. (Or, they could say...."When Wilson left there was no player we felt could make the same impact in our targeted market...blahblahblah) There is always a way around restrictions and rules. Lawyers make a ton of money looking and creating loopholes.
quote:Wait. You think they stopped practice to sign paperwork? Based upon what his lawyers said?
Also, what he signed in the middle of practice, stated it would be "used to create a legally binding document.” and to "seek legal counsel" prior to signing a full agreement.
You think the collective told Smart he had to stop practice so they could sign some paperwork that was not a contract or important, but...well, because we just want him to sing some nonbinding papers?

These are people who are of legal age, and are making hundreds of thousands of dollars. I doubt the courts are going to say..."WAIT! He didn't understand, so it is nonbinding!" If he doesn't understand that when he puts his signature to paper it is a contract, then he probably isn't smart enough to go play in the NFL or be in college.
I do agree that it will be interesting to see how it plays out. Hey. I get it. I am a Georgia fan, so I will see it from that perspective, and you are a Missouri fan, so you will see it from that perspective. And that's ok. That's what makes us fans.

No matter who you’re a fan of, you should be pulling for Georgia in this situation.

I think most will agree that NIL and the Transfer Portal is out of hand. But, as is typical, we tend to want all the other teams to be reigned in and our favorite team should able to do what we want.

If you look at my history of posts, you'll see I'm one of the few fans that have held true to the "show me" motto where Mizzou is concerned. Not hyping them up when they win against teams they're supposed to win against and not being impressed by records fluffed with subpar teams. I'm taking the same approach with Wilson. I'd rather teams and players who abuse the system be held accountable. It can go either way depending on the details. As for right now, I can only go on what has been shown or said to be in the contract as well as Occam Razor. Both have said there was to be another contract signed. Both have stated there were actual damages were $30,000. Both have stated the other amounts of money were from liquidated damages which are really damages that are hard to calculate or prove.
Georgia has two things going for it. It wrote the contract and it's likely going to be played out in Georgia courts. Even if it's a "preliminary" contract, it's still a contract. Wilson would have to prove he was tricked into signing a document but writing trumps verbal. If the Missouri lawyer is correct in what Damon Wilson's copy of the document says, then there's a small chance Wilson could prove that.
Oh, and a big part of this is whether Wilson actually paid back the $30,000. If he didn't then the court won't take that lightly in the honesty of anything else.

Missouri really is a trashy fan base that has brought zero to the conference.
We could have added MTSU or Memphis and gotten more out of it.

We're not quite at the "public barking" stage of fandom, but we're making progress.

You are not anything. There are better supported mid majors. You are a complete joke at everything.

That was very graphic. You've had those images brewing up there a while, Kirby.

Nah, not much a leap for the poop swastika school. A god damn embarrassment to the SEC.

You Dawgs ain't too bright, are ya? About as original as the Col. Sanders recipe.

The contract was initiated by the Classic City Collective and not the university.
As a contributor to the Classic City Collective, I expect that the money that was transferred within the state of Georgia be returned in full.
That isn't an unrealistic or punitive demand.
Wilson declined arbitration, so if the process requires that the entire contract be fulfilled, so be it.
The lawyer in Missouri is a ________________.
Meanwhile, the worst case scenario for Mizzou is that they might have to vacate their wins for having an ineligible player involved in those games if a nunc pro tunc judgement is rendered.

So Mizzou admitted UGA was owed the money, gave it to you your dipshit player, and he kept it.
So I would say a Kunt like yourself is factually not too bright.
Again, your University is a joke. In everyway. The only thing they are good at, the compete in a different conference because no one gives a shite about that sport in the South.

I DGAF about this suit. frick Wilson for not paying the 30k. frick Mizzou for not making sure he paid it. But most importantly, frick you and yours for barkung at people in public. I'm here to help dipshits like you realize their full potential in douchebaggery. Now, go bark at something.

Go to your local Costco, ask where the dicks are, buy a pallet of them in bulk, and eat them. fricking loser.
Posted on 12/26/25 at 10:26 am to lewis and herschel
Pallets of dicks. What an extraordinarily gay image.
