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.
