Six former Florida State University players are suing basketball coach Leonard Hamilton for allegedly not getting them $250,000 in name, image and likeness deals, as promised.

According to The Associated Press, Darin Green Jr., De’Ante Green, Cam’Ron Fletcher, Josh Nickelberry, Primo Spears and Jalen Warley sued the Seminoles coach on Monday, alleging Hamilton promised them money from his “business partners.” Their suit mentions that they walked out of a practice last season and intended to boycott a Feb. 17 game against Duke. They played after Hamilton said they would be paid but never were.

The outlet reported that the school responded to the suit, “Upon learning recently of the allegations made by former men’s basketball athletes, the university has worked diligently to determine what transpired last season,” adding, “Though our inquiry is not yet complete, at this point we know of no unfulfilled commitments by FSU in terms of scholarships or other appropriate benefits or the Rising Spear Collective relative to NIL payments owed to the athletes.”

The university’s statement continued, “We support Coach Hamilton’s right to defend himself against these allegations and look forward to an expeditious resolution of this matter.”

Yahoo! Sports first reported the case, saying Hamilton promised each team member money in two team meetings during the 2023-24 season and in conversations with some players and their families.
