Players could absolutely sue LSU over an implied contract. If so terrible publicity for LSU.


Of course they can. Will they be successful? I doubt it considering their agents/attorneys were involved with both deals.

Ole Miss doesn’t have a slam dunk case either if they suffered no damages. It’s my understanding little or no money had been paid to the players.

are you really that delusional??? there's no narrative...its about adult football players making millions of dollars signing a legally biding contract and breaking it.

LK dont give 2 shits about those kids having to pay that money back. Hell he prob had a hand in creating the contracts. He knows they are enforceable, and is prick for talking them into leaving knowing what they had already signed.

The only way for that douche to save face is to have LSU or the zaxbys knock off guy pay the money and move on.

Yes. They were paid up front money. Then they walked. These aren’t children. They aren’t minors. Why have a contract? Sorry but this doesn’t make Ole Miss look bad. Makes Ole Miss look like grown ups who hold adults accountable.

As far as Lane….lol that is a joke. You think he changed his strategy based on any of this. He doesn’t pay the money. Not his problem at all. He conned these players. He rides the rent a jet for free. He didn’t pay a dime for this top notch team at LSU. What do you honestly think he care about other people’s money?

LSU is going to pay the money, the boys know it, and are in on the game. Kiffin will stretch this out, and use this to any advantage he can think of. There is plenty to gain from this.



I’m sure every future recruit who has a revenue share agreement signed at former school will love to go to LSU when they know the buyout will drag out “for LSU’s advantage”

LSU has more to lose than OM dragging this out. All other schools have to say is “if you go to lsu, they’ll refuse to pay your buyout and you’ll be dealing with lawyers all year”

I’m sure future recruits will love to sign rev share agreements with Ole Miss knowing they will be buried in litigation if they later contest terms of contract.

The irony is LSU has the same exact language in their contracts. Lol

Or they would just transfer to a school that pays buyouts for their players.

This isn’t hard.

Honest question, I see this constantly reposted. What schools have paid buyouts for rev sharing contracts? It became effective in July of 2025.

I’ll hang up and listen.

The case settled quickly, reportedly involving Mensah paying a significant buyout to Duke—likely in the range of millions of dollars—to exit the remaining term of his contract.

I would love it! I'm sure Lane would too simply because it might bring LSU fan expectations back down to a realistic level.

That was over NIL, not revenue share. Also, where are you seeing that Miami paid it?

Interesting that Ole Miss doesn't note any payments in their timelines.

“Miami funded an unprecedented $10 million total NIL package for Mensah, which effectively provided him with the capital to pay Duke a multi-million dollar settlement out-of-pocket to exit his exclusive contract.”

So Mensah paid via his NIL earnings?

Miami upped their deal to Mensah so he could cover the buyout settlement. Money is fungible and everyone knows this, but everyone is being intentionally obtuse about this claiming “Miami isn’t directly involved” because the check didn’t come directly from Miami.

So yall believe a player transferred knowing he’s very likely going to be in the hook for a big buyout, and didn’t negotiate an increased NIL payout to make up for the settlement? Just paid out of his own pocket because he was sold on Miami’s academics or something?

Yes. Miami paid him more money to help him pay the buyout.

If you do mental gymnastics hard enough you can rationalize that this doesn’t count as Miami paying the buyout. However you need to spin it.
