Tallahassee, Florida AP —Six former Florida State basketball players sued Seminoles coach Leonard Hamilton on Monday, alleging he failed to make good on a promise to get each of them $250,000 in name, image and likeness compensation.
The plaintiffs — Darin Green Jr., De’Ante Green, Cam’Ron Fletcher, Josh Nickelberry, Primo Spears and Jalen Warley — filed suit in Leon County circuit court.
The complaint includes multiple text-message exchanges between players and some between players and Hamilton.
Former Florida quarterback signee Jaden Rashada, now playing at Georgia, sued Gators coach Billy Napier last year over an unpaid $13 million NIL deal.
And several Tulsa players claim they were never paid thousands in NIL commitments made by former coach Kevin Wilson.
