Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 5295675, member: 250"] You mistakenly believe the amount the athlete would have been paid caps the damages. That would only apply if the university expressly agreed to it in a liquidated damages provision. A reasonably awake university lawyer could craft a contract dealing with the various elements of the university's special damages were the athlete to leave recited the inherent difficulty is ascertaining those sums and establish a liquidated damages clause. Going back a ways in jolly old England there was this case called Hadley v. Baxendale 1854 .... I have to stop, the horrror of it all is coming back! [/QUOTE]
