It’s called a contract jagoff. Do what Damon did in a business to business transaction and see how fast your arse gets served with a lawsuit.
Do you think Eliah shouldn’t pay his buyout when he leaves Columbia for another job? Or, on the flip side, do you think the school doesn’t owe Drink his buyout if they fire him without cause? This situation isn’t any different.
I will say that he won’t have to pay $390,000. He was paid about $30K before he left and I expect that is what he will be required to repay.

You live in Missouri, shut the frick up.

I know you probably don’t have experience being an owner of a business but just try and picture if your employee signs a contract and you pay him 30,000 he then bails 2 weeks later to join one of your competitors. You’d just jet that go? If so you’re an absolute moron

I mean it’s a little more complicated than that
The 30k is just direct damages, the rest of the contract would be money that could’ve been allocated elsewhere at the time. However proving the damage to any precise degree on missing out on that allocation will be very difficult very difficult

No difficult at all, they have communications and market value metrics galore.

Going to be an uphill battle to convince a court that it's reasonable to expect $390,000 because a player left after you had paid them $30,000.
Maybe, but it's a tough sell to claim Wilson leaving resulted in that type of harm.
I've practiced some contract law in Georgia. Georgia courts are very hesitant to find entire contracts or portions of contracts void because they are unconscionable (meaning no person would agree to such terms). A quote from one of my favorite cases : "Indeed we have repeatedly emphasized that parties should be entitled to contract on their own terms without the courts saving one side or another from the effects of a bad bargain." Smith v. Adventure Air Sports Kennesaw, Ga. Court of Appeals (2020).
I'm sure UGA's lawyers who negotiate and write these contracts have a good feel for the courts on the issue. This could be interesting. And good for UGA for at least trying.

Lol wow Georgia is soft
I figured the only team to be against this would be Missouri. Every single person should be supporting this, y’all wanted some checks and balances to the NIL shite, here’s a start. Legal adult, signs contract to play with a team with an agreed upon amount, bails a week later for slightly more. That’s bullshite

Good. This will stop players from "taking the money and running".

Praise you Georgia.
CFB needed this.

If you have communications with another recruit/s that directly correlate to that allocation affecting their decision and can prove that recruit would be there were it not for that allocation going elsewhere then maybe there is a shot. But then you’d have to prove damages on missing that recruit which is pretty impossible
It’s pretty damn convoluted, definitely not an argument I would call “not difficult”

Kids went from not getting paid outright to demanding money and having no accountability when they just leave for another school. Maybe it’s time to grow up and be with the school you signed with.
Amen.
Wilson signed a deal that, according to ESPN "states that if Wilson withdrew from the Georgia team or entered the transfer portal he would owe the collective a lump-sum payment equal to the rest of the money he'd have received had he stayed for the length of the contract.

Why wouldn't they, they spend millions on administration and staff.... It's not some used car lot...
