Ford and Prime Sports Marketing are also seeking $100 million in punitive damages in a countersuit levied against Williamson, Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and two of its employees. But things get interesting once you see what exactly it is that Ford wants Williamson to cop to:

Considering there have also been additional allegations that Nike paid Williamson’s mother for consultation services while he was a 5-star high school recruit and that there are “text messages, e-mails and other documents” in which Nike allegedly offered Williamson $35,000, it sounds like shit is about to get super ugly.

This could all be avoided if the NCAA would just end the charade and pay these players outright instead of pretending like they aren’t already, but I’ll keep my popcorn ready to see how this all plays out. I mean, shit. It ain’t like there are any NBA games to watch instead.
