Notarization is not required for this type of agreement in Louisisana. Also, it isn't fraud for the reasons already stated in this thread. The lawyer responsible will likely not be in any trouble. It might be a black eye, but that happens.

How do you know this is Joe Alleva's fault?
How is the contracts of the football coaches NOT his job? That is probably the single biggest part of his job.

If the amended contract is voided, won't they just enforce the terms of the original? Which, in this case, are exactly the same as the amended.
It's highly unlikely the judge will void the amended contract.
He's going to take into account what alterations were made and why. He's going to take into account all the subsequent actions of both parties, including the 2013 extension.
If Chavis had up and quit in 2012 the minute he found out about the alteration, that would be one thing. At that very moment, that was the strongest case possible for having the contract voided.

Oh I know. I'm curious what happens if it is voided though.
Do you fall back to the original in that case?

No way in hell Joe is a lawyer after the way he handled the Duke situation.

This contract has nothing to do with Alleva.
The infamous "Miles clause" did and I guess that's what most of us are remembering as one of the things that set Chavis off re: Alleva. Skipped meeting, who knows what else.
But you're probably right -- the alteration in question probably had nothing at all to do with Alleva.
It's a minor clarification that is probably something the lawyers didn't catch until after it was signed. Fairly benign. Highly doubtful Alleva had anything to do with it.
I have to wonder if Alleva has even tried to settle this matter with Chavis. I can't tell if Chavis is alone being the stubborn one or if Alleva is every bit as stubborn.

Good question.
I think either way that Chavis is on the hook for something.

If I was an LSU fan, I would want Joe Alleva fired ASAP.

I'm surprised Alleva still has a job.

From our side sources say he hasn't. He is pissed.

I'm not worked up about it in the slightest- my team nor coach is involved. I simply thought the wording by the lawyer for LSU was funny.

This was my thinking as well.
I know some are arguing that the substance was not changed, but is that technically correct. Referring specifically to the dates.
Bottom line, it is embarrassing for LSU.

Truth.

Um, is anybody arguing that it's not?
I think the point is, embarrassing is as bad as it gets for LSU.

Yeah, I do not think anything comes of it.
I just question the wisdom of continuing the lawsuit.

There is a 0% chance they get the full buyout from Chavis at this point. The judge will force Chavis to pay a lower amount.

The only thing embarrassing about this thread is the people who got clickbaited by a two-bit journalist. Barton's statement addresses this issue, and an attorney discussed the topic at length in the main thread on the Tiger Rant yesterday.

I'd doesn't matter how insignificant you think it is the contract was altered and he did not consent to it by signing. Lsu fricked up and the AD and lawyer responsible are in trouble. I can't believe they are pushing this. I mean the case is being heard in Louisianna but there's no way they can squirm out of this.
There is so much wrong here I don't even know where to begin.

Bama, UGA, and Smart are showing all y'alls head coaches and administrations how to manage the exit of a highly sought after coordinator to a conference rival. I hope they're taking notes. Chavis calls a aTm recruit while still being paid by LSU and LSU has a fit. Smart gets photoed wearing UGA gear with a UGA recruit, and no one in Tusacloosa gives a shite.
