Six former Florida State men's basketball players have filed suit against Seminoles head coach Leonard Hamilton over allegations of "unpaid promises" tied to NIL money, according to Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger.

"The six plaintiffs—Darin Green Jr., Josh Nickelberry, Primo Spears, Cam'Ron Fletcher, De'Ante Green and Jalen Warley—allege that Hamilton promised each of them $250,000 in NIL payments from the coach's 'business partners,'" Dellenger reported.

"The players never received the payments despite Hamilton promising the money to each member of the 2023-24 team in two separate team meetings as well as in individual conversations with some players and their families.
