MEGA Conference Realignment and lawsuits Megathread: Stories, Tales, Lies, and Exaggerations

"Georgia appears intent on making an example of someone, they just picked the wrong person," said Jeff Jensen, one of Wilson's attorneys. "Damon never had a contract with them. I don't see how Georgia thinks intimidation and litigation will help their recruitment efforts -- maybe players could bring lawyers with them to practice."



The new lawsuit filed Tuesday claims that Drummond's statement is defamatory and intended to harm Wilson's reputation. The suit also claims that Georgia, the Classic City Collective and the collective's operators committed tortious interference and civil conspiracy against Wilson.

The lawsuit states that Georgia officials told coaches at other football programs that Wilson had a "$1.2 million buyout" in an alleged attempt to dissuade other schools from recruiting him.

Wilson's lawyers argue that the three-page term sheet he signed last December is not legally binding because it isn't a full contract. The document, which was shared as part of Georgia's lawsuit, states that it will "be used to create a legal binding document."

Very interesting. I would imagine UGA would have to prove their losses?

The JMU one surprised me.

When Cignetti left, 13 players went with him to Indiana and then another 15-20 transferred to other schools so JMU likely had to get a bunch of transfers themselves.
