At what point is a player “legally” obligated, liable for breach? According to staff and insiders Downs “signed papers” etc, There must be some a t that truly makes it a “100% done deal.”. If so, sue Downs for breach - supposedly he now has $1.2 million - if he”s worth at least this much to a team, UGA suffered damages, what else do you need? Seriously, there mist be a point of legal obligation?
