Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signs House Bill 273 which will allow distillers to sale spirits on distillery grounds to individuals and allow breweries to make retail sells on Sundays at the Southern Brewing Company in Athens, Ga., on Wednesday, May 5, 2021. News Joshua L Jones

A new Georgia law designed to allow athletes to profit off their name and likeness may end up having the reverse effect and could have more athletes coming to programs like Clemson football instead of staying “home” at places like the University of Georgia or Georgia Tech.
