Here is how it's going to play out. 1. Chavis is going to release his phone records (already happened); 2. The phone records will reveal he was negotiating his employment with aTm before the Music City Bowl, which 3. constitutes a breach of his contract with LSU, and 4. means Chavis is liable to LSU for the liquidated damages layed out in the contract.


First of all, "layed?" lol

Secondly the phone records are fricking METADATA. Verizon doesn't have a fricking transcript that can tell the court exactly what was said, just who talked to who IF the number can be traced back to a phone tied to Texas A&M (which I would doubt).

Here is how it's going to play out: 1. The phone records will reveal at worst that MAYBE Chavis did something wrong, but it won't prove the point either way 2. The judge, pissed that the two sides are wasting his time on a case that should be settled, and the fact that at some level both sides are in the wrong, will rule from the bench that Chavis has to to pay a reduced buyout 3. I am going to bump this thread and call you an idiot for dealing in absolutes.

Wonder if the stories are true that he was talking a aTm on the day of the Music City Bowl? What does your heart tell you? Wonder if he was calling his agent as well?

A judge in Baton Rogue. Who probably has season tickets to LSU games. Who might have even gone to LSU.

Look, we are dealing with news stories and no one has a copy of the contract, but you keep saying "both sides are in the wrong". Chavis' attorney has shot her wad on the "ateration" argument. The case would be over by now if LSU had materially altered the agreement to Chavis' disadvantage.

What matters is whether either party is in the "legal wrong". There isn't any proof that either side is legally wrong on any issue.

If the contract allows for attorneys fees and LSU proves any part of their case, even a reduced payment could be a big victory for LSU because they will get their fees.

In any case, bookmarked, and we can see how things really turn out when we see copies of the contracts or rulings.
