Former cornerback, Decory Bryant’s $400,00 settlement with University of Georgia athletic association finally comes after his career ended in 2003 with a neck injury.  An Athens-Clarke judge dismissed the lawsuit that claimed the association failed to secure Bryant a $500,00 athlete disability insurance policy that would have paid him in the event he suffered a career-ending injury. 

Ed Tolley, the athletic association attorney, noted that the settlement was a sign that the “athletic association had committed to helping Bryant all along”. 

However, Bryant claimed that an official of the school failed to complete the paperwork for the $500,00 policy.
