This tells me Chavis' attorneys have very little to win this case.


I'm absolutely shocked Jill Craft would do something like this.

It seems the alteration would help Chavis as any other interpretations could only make his buyout period longer. Altering it does not make it invalid.

The change that occurred to the 2012 amendment was an innocent, unintentional and immaterial change.


I can buy that it was "innocent" and "immaterial" but how the hell was it "unintentional"? It's not like someone's fingers slipped on the computer keyboard and accidentally typed the changes and saved them. He should have just said immaterial, which is probably true.

There is a difference in having to pay alot for someone to come there and paying alot for them to stay.

The Court vindicated LSU’s position
unfortunately, people today don't have the critical thinking skills to get past the initial social media shock value accusation. the responses in this thread are proof.

chavis knew the change. chavis accepted money under the change. chavis got some bullcrap burr under his saddle because he was mistaken or uninformed. tanked the last few games of the season like a pouting child. told a&m that if he didn't get the money from lsu, he would sue a&m. was supposed to provide documents and hasn't.

BUT LSU SUCKS. hey there's a video on youtube of people shooting firecrackers out of their butts!

wouodnt a longer buyout favor LSU? So wouldn't the alleged alterations favor Chavis?

It could matter but it doesn't invalidate his contract like his attorney said.

The lawyer representing LSU released a statement supporting LSU.

Shocking. Who would have ever expected that to happen. It is almost like he works for LSU or something.....

Obviously. That coaching staff couldn't make half that anywhere else. Most schools want more than 8-3 if they're shelling out that kind of cash.

contract altered in 2012 and ratified with MOU in 2013. How is that a problem, whatever change was made seems to have been approved by Chavis.

At least he willing to admit LSU fricked up even if the rest of those words are spin to deflect from that mistake.



He had no choice.
Compare Chavis' copy to LSU's....somebody changed their copy and it's not that difficult to determine who made the change.
Even if LSU wins the case, they've given themselves a black eye.
