The University do Georgia can still take a very large portion of all of that money being dished out.


Can you please provide further detail on his this works? I am not familiar with the law.

HB 617 allows each school to confiscate up to 75% of all NIL earnings to put into a pool to pay all scholarship athletes equally. And the money can’t be distributed to the athlete until 1 year after they either graduate or exhaust eligibility. At least I think that’s the wording.

IOW, the Georgia Legislature (as is their modus operandi) totally fricked up the NLI law and handed our SEC competition a large club to use against UGA in recruiting. I expect that provision to be repealed next session.
