Yes suing your former student athletes is a great way to show that Ole Miss takes care of their players

Poors are usually very litigious. Obviously that rings true here.

I feel most for State fans who have to live and work near these chodes.

Ole Miss fans have a lot of opinions that don't end up being true.

LSU owes money to OM for buyouts


Your reading comprehension skills are lacking.

At best the article implies LSU should pay based on Carter’s statement that it’s a customary practice.

The quote from Carter is equally absurd considering the novelty of NIL.

No honestly no one cares. LSU might pay the buyout in the end and no one is going to care. If LSU doesn’t pay the buyout, again no one really cares. We don’t care. You don’t really care even though you are going to tell everyone you do.

That’s funny of you think this is making a difference of anyone in the SEC being able to throw money at a 5/4 star or not.

Well, I imagine the kid won’t think much of his new school when they tell him good luck on their bill that they’re stuck with for breaking an agreement to join them. It’s not rocket science that you have to honor your contract, even us basket weavers understand that!


Well you shouldn't imagine things. Thats just not reality.

They’re gonna get deposed you ignorant fool. And why they breached their contract with ole miss is well within the bounds of questioning. Cant wait to watch Princewill’s deposition lmao.


No they won't. If it gets that far it will be decided on summary judgment based on the contract language only.


How often do cases like this, filed in the plaintiff's home venue, end on summary judgment before the parties are allowed to conduct discovery?



In a case such as this, virtually every time. It's a pure question of law based on the contract laguage. You don't need to depose anyone. The case, if one is filed, will wind up in federal court and be decided on the briefs filed by both parties.

LSU guaranteed to pay these kids’ buyouts. That is the end of the day. These kids will need to do a 3rd party lawsuit to get LSU to cough up the money they promised these kids. They went to a used car lot. They need to get lawyers.

If Ole Miss backs off then all future contracts will be null on one end in the future. In any court. This is a fact. And you dummies should know this. We can’t turn the other cheek as it will hurt down the road. Quit being liars with money. You bought the best team in football. Pay up.

Based on what? Your opinion?

Should we revisit some of your past opinions to judge your credibility?

Based on what the kid said to our administration when they broke the contract. By the way under Lane we bought out quite a few contracts to get kids. Part of the game. We always paid. Why does LSU have a hard time backing promises?

We can’t turn the debate all day but you have ignored my point. We are in a no win situation here. If we let it go then we will be vulnerable down the road on contracts. Future players and schools will take js to court.

At the end of the day if you can’t pay, they shouldn’t play. All adults have to live with what they sign. And you know it.

So the kids aren’t under contract and they didn’t break it by taking an offer of more money? Where am I lying? You haven’t addressed the facts because you’re a child.

At the end of the day we have no choice. And either LSU will step up for these youngsters or not. Up to you guys.

You're potentially lying when you say LSU guaranteed to pay the buyout. That hasn't been reported by anyone credible, it's just another Ole Miss fan assumption.

You should learn to read before you start trying to fling insults around.

This kind of thing is why you said a lot of dumb stuff last year that came back to bite you.

Number one is what did I say that was wrong? Quote me.

Number two is you have yet to answer the facts. Will LSU pay this debt? You’ve heard why we can’t let it go. These kids might end up on the losing end of this because they thought they could walk and someone else was paying. I can’t imagine an institution hanging these kids out to dry.

As far as contracts all we know is what the kids said when they walked. Contracts are private genius. Why does everything have to be spelled out with you?

Ole Miss has bought out every player that was necessary with Lane. Maybe he assumed LSU would. Who knows?

The things you're "spelling" out are your opinions, not actual facts.

Just like when you said:
quote:

Truth is Lane won’t stay at Ole Miss forever but it won’t be LSU that takes him. He won’t touch them after firing Coach O. 




quote:

This is the first offseason where revenue share contracts have existed.

Who do you think Ole Miss paid a buyout for, while Lane was there?

will wind up in federal court


The most likely venue would be Lafayette County (or the Oxford Division of the Northern District of Mississippi if filed in federal court), giving Ole Miss the benefit of litigating in its home forum.

While a judge is supposed to be impartial, let's not kid ourselves. All three federal judges in Oxford have ties to Ole Miss—two attended Ole Miss for both undergrad and law school, and the third attended for undergrad. You can believe that has no effect if you want, but sometimes people believe the scales of justice have a thumb on them.

More importantly, there is Mississippi federal precedent recognizing that Rule 56(d) gives the court discretion to permit discovery before ruling on summary judgment when the nonmoving party shows that additional evidence could affect the outcome. That's why saying these cases are "virtually every time" decided solely on briefs is an overstatement.

Having just gone through a breach-of-contract case myself, "you don't need to depose anyone" certainly wasn't our experience. Discovery was a significant part of the litigation.
