College Football Star Files Bankruptcy, Surrenders Championship Rings

The Omaha World-Herald reports former Nebraska star lineman Aaron Taylor is hoping he can retain his memorabilia he surrendered to the trustee upon filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Included in the memorabilia was Taylor's three national championship rings, four district championship rings, and the Outland Trophy.

Taylor and other former Nebraska stars opened a restaurant in 2006. The debt became too much leading to the bankruptcy filing. The petition listed assets of $5,300 and debts of about $110,000.

The value of sports memorabilia can be difficult for the bankruptcy trustee to determine. In this case, an auction is scheduled to take place Oct. 31 in Scottsbluff, NE. The proceeds of the auction will go to pay Taylor's creditors. Taylor is hoping that donations from fans and help from his parents will allow him to be the winning bidder to get his rings and memorabilia back.

Nebraska bankruptcy laws only allow an exemption of $2,500 for "any personal property".

  3. Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about bankruptcy. You have an interesting and very informative page.

    In addition to that, I remembered reading another article about bankruptcy that states that a typical proposal would involve a debtor making monthly payments for a maximum of five years, with the funds distributed to their creditors. Even though most proposals call for payments of less than the full amount of the debt owing, in most cases, the creditors will accept the deal, because if they do not, the next alternative may be personal bankruptcy, where the creditors will get even less money. The creditors have 45 days to accept or reject the consumer proposal. Once the proposal is accepted by both the creditors and the Court, the debtor makes the payments to the Proposal Administrator each month (or as otherwise stipulated in their proposal), and the general creditors are prevented from taking any further legal or collection action. If the proposal is rejected, the debtor is returned to his prior insolvent state and may have no alternative but to declare personal bankruptcy.
    Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 are very different:
    >Chapter 7 is faster
    >There is no debt repayment in Chapter 7
    >Chapter 7 ensures that most unsecured debt is eliminated
    >Assets may be protected under Chapter 7
    >Filing Chapter 7 can help rebuild your credit
