The former players allege Hamilton promised them the money from his "business partners." The lawsuit says they walked out of a practice last season over the missed payments and intended to boycott a Feb. 17 game against Duke.
The complaint includes multiple text-message exchanges between players and some between players and Hamilton, shedding light on the expectations and communications that led to the current legal scenario.
Hamilton guaranteed the plaintiffs they would be paid, but they claim they were never compensated, leading to their decision to file a lawsuit against him.
This lawsuit reflects a growing trend of legal disputes surrounding NIL deals in collegiate athletics, emphasizing the complexities and challenges players face in securing promised compensation.
