Overview
- Georgia filed a legal action asking a judge to compel Damon Wilson into arbitration over a liquidated-damages clause tied to his NIL term sheet.
- The 14-month Classic City Collective deal totaled $500,000 with $30,000 monthly payments and two $40,000 bonuses, and the clause sought the remaining value if he left.
- Wilson received $30,000 on Dec. 24, 2024, then declared his transfer less than two weeks later and joined Missouri in January, according to the filing.
- Classic City assigned its right to collect the claimed damages to Georgia’s athletic department on July 1, and court records show Wilson was served in Missouri last week.
- Attorneys quoted by ESPN expressed skepticism that such clauses are enforceable, noting similar unresolved efforts by Arkansas’ collective involving Madden Iamaleava and Dazmin James.
