Overview
- Wilson’s lawsuit alleges a civil conspiracy by Georgia’s athletic association, its former collective and two ex-collective CEOs to penalize him for transferring.
- The suit claims Georgia staffers told Power 4 programs he would owe $1.2 million if he left, which he says deterred competing NIL offers.
- Georgia moved on Nov. 19 to compel arbitration and seeks about $390,000 in liquidated damages tied to Wilson’s December 2024 Classic City Collective term sheet.
- Legal documents show a 14‑month, $500,000 arrangement with $30,000 monthly payments and two $40,000 bonuses; Wilson received one $30,000 payment before transferring to Missouri.
- The collective assigned its rights to pursue damages to Georgia on July 1, and observers note this is the first known effort by a school to enforce such a clause against a player.
