Georgia Seeks $390K From Ex-Linebacker Damon Wilson in NIL Dispute
Georgia seeks $390,000 in liquidated damages after Damon Wilson transferred, enforcing a contract clause designed to protect NIL investments and deter early exits.
- On Dec. 5, 2025, the Georgia Bulldogs filed to compel arbitration in Clarke County Superior Court, seeking $390,000 in liquidated damages from former EDGE Damon Wilson, ESPN reported Friday.
- Classic City Collective signed Wilson to a 14-month, $500,000 deal with monthly $30,000 payments and a lump-sum buyout clause, transferred to Georgia on July 1.
- On Dec. 24, 2024, Wilson received a $30,000 payment then declared his intention to transfer less than two weeks later to the University of Missouri.

- By suing Wilson, Georgia raises employee-classification stakes by framing NIL payments as pay-for-play, echoing an Arkansas case involving Madden Iamaleava and Dazmin James enforcing buyout clauses.
