Matt Hibbs, the founder and CEO of Classic City, told On3 on Tuesday afternoon the collective is not fining any Georgia football players. Instead, the organization withholds or deducts scheduled payments for players charged with car-related incidents.

The penalty is part of the agreement signed between the athlete and the collective. Hibbs cautioned that athletes are not being fined, as athletes are not considered employees. The decision to withhold payment came from conversations between Smart and Hibbs on how to address the ongoing situation.

The procedure has been in place for roughly two years, Hibbs said. The reasoning for withholding payments is an athlete who is arrested or charged has less value to the collective or a local business.
