I’m pretty sure LSU reviewed how legally binding the contracts are and feels confident they are not obligated to pay a buyout for players compared to the protection coaches have.
Whether or not they’re correct remains to be seen but it’s much more of a middle finger than it is “not having the money”

FAU. Cinci. UCF. Boise. USF. Take your pick. There are plenty of others too.
At some point these kids / LSU will have to pay. Going to be a real shame if LSU forces kids into court because they won't hold up their end of the deal and cover the buyout expenses for these kids.
LSU fans acting like this is some sort of novel concept is wild.

It's interesting that Ole Miss fans just assume LSU committed to paying these buyouts for some reason.

Nothing has happened yet and the Ole Miss fans are already working overtime spinning these ridiculous yarns.
Everyone will see how exaggerated these tales are in due time.

They've been doing it for like 8 months now
They're on their board insisting that LSU is using public funds to cover NIL.

I'm assuming LSU is acting like other schools in these situations, which I may well be wrong for.
For example, Miami covered what Mensah owed Duke when Duke treated to sue for payment of their Rev Share amount. Texas Tech has done the same thing with some of their players.
Suppose LSU could just be being cheap and not offering to cover it for their incoming players.

Even in those cases, the player is still technically paying the first school, it isn't like Texas Tech cut a check to XYZ University.

Of course. But either way I, personally, would be surprised if LSU didn't promise to cover the amount for those players - regardless of the steps taken for that money to end up in the hands of Ole Miss. Especially considering that over the past 2 years of this new era that has become the industry norm for most institutions

Yeah, no....
But it's ok, I know reading comprehension can be hard.

I don't know, is it really the norm? There are multiple lawsuits going on right now over buyouts that weren't paid.
Posted on 7/13/26 at 2:28 pm to SidewalkTiger
The norm for the ones that don't end up in a lawsuit.
And, at least at the moment, far more are actually getting paid than litigated. But some certainly do end up in litigation.

Based on what? There haven't actually been that many kids who transferred out after signing a revenue share agreement.

These are completely unchartered waters but the Harvard Law Review, also known as the SEC Rant, feels it’s a foregone conclusion that LSU does not have a million dollars to pay the buyout and will be insolvent any minute now
Posted on 7/13/26 at 2:36 pm to SidewalkTiger
Their is no formal database as far as I know, but if you pay attention during portal season every year there's a decent number of kids who are announced as returning only to leave. Sure not all of them will have signed rev share, but most schools don't announce a kid as returning until a signed deal is in place.
It's impossible to completely know, but it feels like they're would be 100+ lawsuits if the majority were not just being paid. Instead we have like a dozen or so lawsuits at the moment

tRant is a wild place. People convince themselves of ignorant ideas and are then forced to justify the reasoning when their opinions don't end up being true.
This board: "LSU is poor"
**LSU fires BK**
This board: "LSU can't afford to pay his buyout."
**LSU comes to buyout agreements with BK**
This board: "LSU is too poor to hire a top coach and sign a good class"
**LSU poaches Kiffin and signs a great transfer class**
This board: "LSU is definitely poor now!"
**LSU fires it's basketball coach and hires Will Wade"
This board: "LSU is BROKE!!!, they have to be using public funds"

This is really the first year where we've even seen revenue share buyouts. The Georgia case is a dispute over NIL money which is a different situation.

LSU didn't breach anything. Take the players to court, this is between Ole Miss and them.
That was in the article... LSU most likely doesn't want this going to court, all the documentation would then be out, and nobody wants dirty laundry out in the public. Ask Hugh Freeze and Les Miles
