This whole situation is a bunch of "ifs" and "maybes".

why wouldnt they just send OM the money directly to satisfy same buyout? Or channel the money through some legal counsel?
I would assume they would but who knows?

Why? If they are on the hook they are on the hook. Atleast make ole miss come out and cry about it and show they are willing to sue players.

Meh. Players signed agreements between the Georgia and Miami games. Could claim some level of ignorance to the extent of the deal. I would love to see the language and how clearly it’s written regarding the buyouts and penalties.
I wonder what the end game is. Are both sides posturing for a settlement and mutual termination? If it’s a matter of freeing up revenue share for Ole Miss (and transferring that responsibility to LSU), should be easy to get to.

LSU pays it then ultimately what is the harm?
If they were going to pay it all along then why play a game of chicken and force OM to file suit?

That may have worked with the Chambliss matter but not this

Read that again. Ole Miss sued two former players. The entire saga is a pissing match.

Are you saying this is some sort of smart as a fox play by LSU? The only people that think this are LSU fans. This is beyond moronic for LSU

Just say you have never negotiated anything before but a discount on your Golden Corral bill.
What is the harm to LSU if they pay it? Ole Miss can’t take this back. They jumped.

What is your opinion of why they didn't pay it?

Most new schools are paying for the players.
Is this documented some where? Would love to see how these cases look on paper

Without fulfilling the terms, you pay back the money. Otherwise, it would equate to players stealing money.
It would be weird if they didn’t sue.

Nothing sly about this. We have entered a new realm of college football. What law/case law/precedent exists related to a college player and his former school in regards to an NIL/revenue sharing deal?
I firmly believe both schools knew this is where it would end up. They’re just playing it out to:
1. Negotiate a possible settlement
2. Set some sort of precedent
3. Determine enforceability of athlete contracts
4. Set the framework for transfer rules

I negotiate every day. You think they are going to negotiate this down after OM filing suit and making public comments. They’ve turned it into a matter if principal now

Remember, LSU didn’t want to pay
Kelly either. They will eventually assist
the players because they probably
have an agreement to do so, but
it’s not been their practice to honor
contracts timely.

While I won’t predict what Ole Miss does here, I will say regardless of what is filed and publicly stated, settlements happen frequently. The public comments serve a different purpose than the actual legal actions.

I never said they were going to negotiate it down. But if they have to pay they have to pay. Might as well let OM announce to the college football world they will sue players.
How many other colleges can you say that about?

Why are all the LSU fans acting like this isn't a total piece of shite move, at minimum, by these players?
Posted on 7/28/26 at 9:17 pm to FredbullTN
But everyone is suing. They aren’t the first or last. They don’t look bad for it.

It would tell me as a player that LSU
won’t honor any verbal promises made.
