Meanwhile, in Tally:
In a lawsuit filed on Monday morning, six former Florida State players are suing Seminoles head coach Leonard Hamilton after he promised to pay them $1.5 million in NIL compensation last season.
The complaint filed in Leon Country, according to
Yahoo Sports, alleges that Leonard Hamilton promised players Darin Green Jr., Primo Spears, Cam'Ron Fletcher, Jalen Warley, De'Ante Green and Josh Nickelberry that they would receive $250,000 from the coach's business partners to play for the Seminoles.
There are multiple text message conversations that are described in the complaint between Hamilton, the players and Will Cowen, who is an executive for one of the Florida State NIL collectives. The complaint notes that Hamilton promised members of the team that they would be paid. But one of the most interesting parts of this complaint is detailed of an instance of players walking out of practice.
The complaint says that Florida State players boycotted one practice before the Seminoles played against Duke on February 17th. The claim says that the players āwalked out of the gymā during the practice in an attempt to show how upset they were over the NIL promises not being fulfilled, which wouldāve then led to them boycotting the game.
