Let me help you. The contract is enforceable against the players unless they were underage or lacked mental capacity to agree to its terms. The practical effect of LSU saying it isn’t its problem has 1,000,000 practical effects on the players unless LSU gets religion and pays their debt.

I mean at least when Ole Miss tampered with that Clemson player they had the decency to ask the player in question what his buyout was (I suppose that meant they expected to pay it, which at least indemnifies the player).
Why is LSU leaving these two out there to fend off a lawsuit?

Who? Which players?

If LSU paid them an offset in their new deal at LSU to satisfy the buyout, and the players just haven't paid Ole Miss, how is that LSU's fault?

Nothing frivolous about it at all. Ole Miss gave them 6 months. From what I was told back in January, LSU was originally hoping to cover it in December with next year's rev share contract but not sure how true that is.
It's a few hundred grand from a limited sharing pool that Ole Miss currently cannot give to another player actually on the team because it was contractually paid to these players. They will have to contractually pay it back. I'm surprised the Umanmielen's haven't paid it yet, they're a really good family. I don't know the Harpers and am not saying they aren't.

Is there a specific deadline in the contract?

Recent reporting around LSU’s football program don’t really point to LSU paying players up front. It kinda points to the opposite. Y’all were even making jokes in this thread about paying players up front, so I probably wouldn’t go with this theory
Bottom line is someone fed these players bad information. It seems like someone told them that OM wouldn’t pursue any legal action if no one paid the buyouts - we’re now in frick around and find out territory. The buyouts are gonna have to be paid at some point soon or else the players could find themselves in hot water. I’m not implying that LSU is the problem here to be clear, I’m just curious to see how this gets resolved

That’s between LSU and its players left to face the music. I suspect the players’ lawyers are looking to LSU for indemnity and the real question then becomes whether LSU steps up and protects them. Now who would trust LSU to do that? I wouldn’t. But I hope LSU does. Then again, these aren’t babes in the woods. They are professionals. I’m assuming they have mental capacity and aren’t underaged to enter binding agreements.

LSU has already gone on record that they are letting them twist in the wind.

man ole miss is that whiney bitch of an ex that just won't go away...

It can really only be one of a few things:
1. LSU miscalculated and doesn't have $1M left over to pay it. I find that hard to believe.
2. Lane/the players are pressing buttons
3. LSU believes the contract isn't enforceable/Ole Miss believes the contract is more enforceable than it really is
4. Lane/Glasscock/LSU didn't understand the contract. I find that hard to believe also.
5. The players didn't understand the contract.

That was an NIL dispute, if I remember correctly, not revenue share.
What makes you so sure Miami paid?

There was. Back in the spring.

I don’t think a precedent has been set either way.
Ole Miss’ AD said is customary that schools pay the buyout. But here’s the thing, NIL has not been around long enough to set a common practice.
Moreover, the amount of money being spent has increased by an order of magnitude over the last few years.
Also, what schools have paid contracts on a player’s behalf and how much was spent. I honestly don’t know, but see this mentioned a lot.

This is the first cycle including revenue share contract buyouts, it isn't "customary" because this is the first year it's ever happened.

1) pretty big IF
2) why wouldnt they just send OM the money directly to satisfy same buyout? Or channel the money through some legal counsel?

If LSU pays it then ultimately what is the harm? They stepped up and made it right. Ole Miss is willing to sue players. LSU has multiple ways to spin zone this. OM doesn’t. Are you willing to sue players? Yes.
If Lane is half as petty as we think he is he will send them a million in unrolled pennies
