re: Mizzou’s Damon Wilson takes Georgia to court

Why do you hang around simply to post inane comments when others are having a reasonable discussion?
I bet if you get invited to family Christmas gatherings, your relatives don’t bring up interesting and substantive topics in front of you because
they know you’ll torpedo the conversation with childish comments.
Here’s a couple of wishes for you…
1. Merry Christmas
2. Don’t be an arse when your relatives are having intelligent discussions!

Don’t misunderstand me! I’m not saying this is the proper outcome! We got skin in this the other way in other current ant potential future situations, I’m only speculating on the facts on this one instance (without many at that), UGA’s got a loser on this one.
This needs to be fixed!

If they put aside $20 million for NIL offers and players sing the agreement, the collective would stop offering money, then once the recruits bolt, other players have been lost causing damages to the collective/University.
In the case you want to compare it to, it is also not unusual for those contracts to have a non-compete clause in them. I would say that Wilson, in playing for another school in the same conference certainly was competing.
It’s really impossible to opine with any certainty without reading the agreement and as you say “if” anything was actually signed.
But speculating, taking these two arguments separately, if the kid just decided he just didn’t want to play football and decided to take a job at McDonald’s instead, do you think UGA would prevail in pursuing liquidated damages?
But that’s not the case, and as you point out he’s playing for another school in the same conference. That smacks of a non-compete clause. Non-competes have been getting clobbered in the courts. And when they are upheld it’s usually because the employee took revenue producing clients with him. I can’t see a judge enforcing one against a college kid. Plus, the schools want desperately not to have the athlete viewed as an employee.
This solution needs to come through legislation of some sort with the SCOTUS ruling out there. I think the recent lawsuit settlement did not adequately address NIL going forward.

Missouri gave it to Wilson which he never paid
That may or may not be true, I have no way of knowing, but people are getting confused here. We're talking about $30k not, $390k.
The $30k should definitely have been repaid. The liquidated damages part is bullshite. He never got that money. I've spent a career dealing with executive compensation. The general rule is if the exec breaks the contract, he pays back the funds that have been advanced but not yet earned and forfeits any other stock or options granted but not vested.
In terms of personal services contracts, you can not MAKE someone work for you or make them pay you if they choose not to. Generally, you can only recover what has been paid but not earned.
ETA: This is different from say an entertainer who is a no-show for a concert, the promoter of which has sold tickets and booked a venue and has real out-of-pocket damages. If Georgia is going this route, it would have to prove and quantify actual damages sustained. I think they would be hard-pressed to quantify how one player's departure cost them ticket sales, etc.

The reality:
1. We’re not going to win with Zollers at QB
2. We’re not going to win with Pribula at QB
So what I would prefer is #1. Get the kid some more battle scars from a great SEC defense from which he can grow.
Frankly, after the cupcake part of our schedule I saw nothing from Pribula that impressed me. 2025 is either 9-3 or 8-4. Who cares? Let’s invest in the future! Of course with a HC one foot out the door who knows what the future is.
No disrespect to our outstanding D, but ya gotta score at least a few points to win!
No disrespect to our outstanding RB room, but OU will be lying in wait against the run!

Classic OU responses.
Half are saying:
What happened just last year doesn’t matter
The other half are saying:
We used to beat you regularly in the ancient past so that matters

W/r/t tailgating, walking down the road between Lots N and M (refer to previously posted map) and venturing into those lots may give you the best opportunity to interact with Mizzou fans and snag a drink or two. I park in Lot K and drive that road every game. Always plenty of activity!
re: NIL Cap. It won't mean what you think it means
Posted by CelticTiger on 11/5/25 at 1:19 pm to nicholastiger
Regarding collectives, I just don't get how they operate going forward. At one point the CSC essentially outlawed collectives for failing to meet the "valid business purpose" test. Challenged, they reached a settlement allowing collective NIL payments as long as the athlete is promoting "for profit" goods or services to the public.
So in practice...I, an individual donor, wish to contribute a measly $100 to a collective that contracts with athletes attending my school. The athlete then must promote or provide for profit goods or services. I see how this might work out if I was a business owner and the athlete agreed to tweet positive things about my business. But I don't own a business. What "for profit" activity is the athlete performing for ME for my $100 contribution?
Or do collectives no longer solicit or accept contributions from individuals like me?

Go look at recruiting rankings and it's basically the same as always. Vandy has about the same rankings as 2015. So do schools like Arkansas who is much worse than Vandy right now. Arkansas is about a 22ish ranked class most year, and Vandy around 40-50.
But are you taking into consideration portal rankings which arguably have a greater immediate impact on improving a team?
Someone mentioned Ole Miss and Mizzou harping on this. Well, in 2024 Ole Miss had the #1 transfer ranking per 24/7 and Mizzou #13. For 2025, Ole Miss was #4 and Mizzou #7. You keep that up and you can elevate a team pretty quick.
Can’t really explain Vandy’s improvement tho. They were #39 and #36 respectively in the two years, or pretty close to their usual recruiting rankings.

Mizzou posters keep assuring me that Zollers is actually better than Pribula. I didn't actually watch him play after Pribula went down, so I don't know.
Sample size is WAY too small to make that determination.
The ironic thing, considering the theme of this thread, is I thought he looked much more confident and comfortable in the huddle and during the snap count than Pribula. The eye thing is interesting, but I don’t think it was fear!

re: SEC Heavyweights: Vandy vs Mizzou
Posted by CelticTiger on 10/24/25 at 11:59 pm to TigerLunatik
Don’t understand what you think is not a “heavyweight tilt” about the game. A top ten team with a shot at the CFP versus a fifteenth ranked team with similar aspirations, the loser of which is essentially eliminated from consideration.
Your bias exposes your lack of understanding about what constitutes a good college football matchup and by extension your understanding of college football in general.
If it hurts your feelings less, focus on the fact that the text doesn’t say the TEAMS are heavyweights, it says the MATCHUP has a “heavyweight tilt”, which in fact it does.

IF we beat Vandy and IF we go 10-2, one of those final wins needs to be TAMU to make the playoffs. Beating Vandy and OU but losing to A&M won’t get MU in the CFP with a crowded SEC 10-2 field.

Losing close against a good team means NOTHING. Look at the 2022 game against UGA. Led the #1 team for most of the game. Finished 6-7.
Not saying we can’t still beat some decent teams, only saying you gotta start doing it! We still know nothing about what this team can do!

Grew to like Cook after a rough start. Put his heart and soul into every game, but I always viewed him as kinda a bridge to that elite QB that was going to take MU even further. It appears we are still looking.
Corollary…MU deficient in QB development?
