Georgia vs. Damon Wilson NIL Case Could Determine Whether Schools Can Obtain Damages From Transfers
Damon Wilson II alleges Georgia used liquidated damages clauses to punish his transfer and interfere with his career, challenging the enforceability of NIL contracts in college sports.
- On Tuesday, Damon Wilson II filed a countersuit in Boone County, Missouri state court, suing the University of Georgia Athletic Association over NIL-related damages linked to his transfer.
- After signing a December 2024 Term Sheet, Wilson alleges CCC paid him $30,000 on Christmas Day but did not produce a full License and Option Agreement, and the deal was not binding.
- Georgia's filings assert a $390,000 shortfall and ask a judge to compel arbitration, citing a claim that Wilson must pay all remaining license fees under the Term Sheet, which totals $390,000.
- Jurisdictional questions now sit before state judges in Missouri and Georgia as Damon Wilson II will play in the Gator Bowl this Saturday while litigation proceeds.
- The countersuit alleges UGAA disclosed the Term Sheet publicly and told at least three programs Wilson faced a $1.2 million buyout, accusing UGAA and CCC of tortious interference, civil conspiracy and defamation.
