Good for UGA

If you read the article it sounds like Georgia is suing for money the guy never received. They paid him $30,000 on the new NIL agreement but want him to pay back over $300,000(Total including future payments) that he didn't receive because he broke the agreement. I can see him paying back the $30K because he left a month later but not sure they will get money from the player that he never received.

The way I understand it is they are sueing for damages so it doesn’t matter if they paid him that much. I agree I don’t think they get that much but who knows based on the trial probably being in Georgia.

I completely agree. Not sure of the exact details of this specific case, but generally speaking, you want to act like a pro and get paid like a pro? No problem! But I’d write up each NIL deal with stipulations to protect the payee. It’s common sense. These young men will understand, breaching contracts could be a risk. No breaching of contract? Get paid. Simple.

That being said it should also be written up with stipulations to protect the player as well. Contracts are contracts.

Simple.

They are suing him because the agreement apparently provides that he has to pay GA a certain amount if he leaves. It’s somewhat like the buyout provision in a coach’s contract, “ if you leave, you owe us $xxx.“ He left so GA says he owes the agreed upon buyout.

The article says they're suing for "liquidated damages" which cannot legally be used to keep someone from breaking a contract or punishment for breaking the contract. That's straight from the article.

GA has to prove that his leaving is costing them $390k in actual damage to the program or something.

Good luck with that.
