Those who know please inform us who are not in the know what happened with him. Did he sign a NIL deal with Baylor after his freshman year? Was it binding? Does Baylor, or the appropriate entity, put liquidated damages clauses in those contracts? If not, why not?

Did his decision to accept BYU's money impact this year's Baylor team because we had counted on him as our point guard?

I understand money and wanting the best deal, but did he commit to Baylor, sign a deal and then back out?

If so, how does Baylor (or any other school) protect itself in the future?

Georgia football is going after a player for $300000+ because he transferred out.

I guess we will see how that plays out.

I want to see Doug go after Wright for the $ if this is the case. Unacceptable if Baylor doesn't.

This article got posted a few months back and is as close as we've gotten to anything on the topic being released publicly: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6713454/2025/10/14/baylor-scott-drew-roster-rebuild/

From what I've been able to glean, it sounds like we signed him to a $1.7mm NIL deal, which is evidently not binding. As the article above states, his age t then contacted us, said he was entering the portal and we weren't going to get the opportunity to match the offer he was getting. Obviously sounds like tampering, but I don't think programs tend to rat each other out.

No clue on if we actually delivered any money to Wright or his agent, but I would assume, based on the timing of his leaving, that whatever money we did give him was minimal.

Until contracts become binding on both parties, preferably two year deals where breaches are aggressively pursued, things will be chaotic. Maybe they have buyouts like coaches deals?

If all P4 schools could agree on a form of contract that reads this way, and then make agents jointly and severally liable, things might begin to return to some semblance of normalcy.

That's a lot to ask.
