Crime Blotter: Florida CB Dijon Johnson faces four charges after gun/drugs/driving arrest

I think NIL should be tied to good behavior, if you mess up like this clown your NIL is cut in half, mess up again your out ,go get a job. With NIL I think the days of going soft on players because of their circumstances,needs to end. they should know the drill when they sign up. They're given every advantage in the world with NIL and if they choose to throw it away, there needs to be swift consequences . Life is hard,it's harder when you're stupid -John Wayne.

I agree with your idea, but would suggest taking it further.

If you get indicted for a felony, it’s an event of default on your whole deal — revenue sharing, NIL, whatever. All payments of any description stop immediately, and we go back to the negotiating table.

Depending on the specific facts and circumstances, we might keep it the same. Or we might reduce it. Or we might terminate it altogether.

Also depending on the facts and circumstances, payments already received could be subject to clawback.

In any event, you just forfeited all control and leverage.

An indictment is only an accusation. It doesn’t convict one of wrongdoing. Would you not wait for a conviction in court before taking those disciplinary actions? Actually, a conviction of a felony would be a dismissal from the team, would it not?
I'm ignorant in these matters and why I ask.

My suggestion makes an indictment only an event of default, And requires that the indictment be for a felony. It allows for a range of outcomes for the reasons you cite.

It mainly allows for case-specific response.

An admittedly extreme example is Darius Miles. Right now, he’s only indicted. But it’s for capital murder, he’s been in jail with bond denied for over two years, and trial is in December. If we wait for a jury verdict, we’d be paying him for three years.

I am pretty sure the NIL has a moral clause contract language in it.

Following up on indictment for a felony being an event of default on either revenue sharing or pay-for-play, aka NIL.

A barn player is jailed on $20K bond for domestic assault including strangulation or suffocation.

Auburn wide receiver arrested on domestic assault charge - al.com

This isn't about where he plays ball. Could be anywhere. Regardless, the article doesn't say whether the offense is a felony. Either way, I wouldn't want to be paying this guy while he's awaiting trial.

If it's not a felony, it's certainly a violent crime. So I might need to expand the event of default to include indictment for felonies (whether violent or not) or for violent misdemeanors.

Late Add: Looked it up -- in Alabama, domestic violence with strangulation or suffocation is a Class B felony.

In fairness to Napier, Saban and the young man, once you have ejected a player from the team, you have lost all leverage over the player. While he is on the team, he can be subject to censures, inconveniences and humiliations of various kinds while he rehabilitates himself. Sometimes this is all a person needs to recollect themselves.

the player has to be willing to accept those forms of rehabilitation. Coach says run stairs, in todays world a player might look at them and say "no"

Forgetting athletes for a moment, I've often wondered what the University of Alabama's position is on the standing of students who are in trouble with the law.

For example, suppose there's a guy (not an athlete) who's been charged with rape, but not yet convicted. It's only an accusation, and he deserves the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. Does that mean he gets to sit next to your daughter in class?

At what point does the University say, "You need to resolve your legal issues. When that's done, we'll talk about whether you can be a student or not. Until then, you can't enroll."

And does it matter if the classes are online or in-person?

Is it a state standard, or does each university formulate its own policy?

I don't know the answers to any of that and haven't been able to find any concrete information. But I'm really curious.
