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


Equally, Ole Miss doesn't want this to go to court for the same reasons.

Ole Miss likely doesn't have anything to hide in this situation. Certainly other situations, but not this one. What would discovery show from the Ole Miss side, that they signed these kids to a contract? And then they left?

It's not like any lawsuit can just become a discovery fishing expedition for other issues.

Sure. I'm guessing that Ole Miss legally signed them to a contract and didn't do anything illegal in that process such as coercion or duress.

Just like I'm guessing that LSU absolutely wants no part of how they were recruited to LSU after signing those contacts with Ole Miss bring on a court record for the NCAA to see

At least you can always look back on Lane's last season to give OM the warm fuzzies.

Why would the player's recruitment to LSU even matter? The agreement is between the player and Ole Miss. Anything related to their recruitment isn't pertinent to the actual issue.

He wants to believe that LSU will receive divine retribution for taking Lane. They will believe anything lmao.

Only if you assume LSU didn't offer to help pay for it during the recruiting process. Otherwise what was said, and when, is 100% relevant.

Probably whats in their actually contract with LSU will be the most pertinent.

Not really. The player is still responsible in this instance. The player would have to sue LSU to get to any of that.

If my company agreed to reimburse me for my move and I retained a moving company and then didn't pay them, their lawyers aren't going after my company. They're going after me.

The only instance where that might come into play would be if the player claimed some type of hardship or something.

They'd sue both you can your company and essentially say one of them owes me. You and your company would then flight about who actually owes. Happens all the time.

That's irrelevant though, only matters who signed the contract.

LSU's got this. They're the only school smart enough to fire their coaches and then re-hire them a few years later.

That's cool. What do you actually think will actually come from the deposition?

Actually, nevermind, you have a lot of beliefs that never actually happen.

1. Why did you breach your contract?

Walk us through the timeline.
Reminder you’re under oath.
Then Subpoena the phone records and text messages.

2. Kiffin’s name is mentioned in the deposition which now opens up Kiffin to depositions with any Ole Miss lawyer who wants to tee off on him. Reminder your under oath ;)

Oh and they end up paying anyway plus a multiplier and attorney’s fees for wasting everyone’s time.

Ole Miss doesn't want to be anywhere near a courtroom and thinking discovery is limited can easily be a bad assumption

The article in the link clearly states that Ole Miss has paid the buyouts of several incoming players .

In what world should LSU be allowed to ignore the contractual agreements of players who had already signed with other schools? Why should Ole Miss be fiduciarily irresponsible to not collect from a school that eagerily conspired with our former sociopath of a coach in an attempt to burn Ole Miss and Oxford to the ground last December.

It's not OM fault that LSU owes tens of millions of dollars to their former coaches.
