A dock.



This is why schools need to require academic standards for admission, and not just money.

I'm not sure that would survive a legal challenge. A judge might view that in a similar light as a non-compete clauses which have consistently failed court challenges.

If he didn't indulge himself into the bacchanal life in Oxford, I think he'll be ok.

The easier option would be for the NCAA to fix the calendar and portal IMO.



This is the way. It takes the pressure off the schools to include clauses that only some will and others won’t.


If the calendar makes sense this kiffin drama is much less noticeable.

They already exist in coaches contracts. All we are talking about is increasing the about of the buyouts.

I don't disagree, but the calendar was accelerated so transfer kids could enroll at their new schools for spring semester.

The problem is not the transfer schedule but the playoff schedule (being so late in January.) It's a product of expanding the playoffs and adding games.

Our AD prides himself on not giving coaches absurd contracts. It works great if you want to go 0-8 in conference play.
ours gives absurd contracts to go 1-7

But if you make it so large is retrains a person's ability to take a new job, it's going to face a serious court challenge. Non-competes also existed, but people started challenging them and winning in court.

It would take a league wide rule otherwise coaches just wouldn’t go to schools with stiff penalties.


Pretty sure that would not be legal

I think he is referring to the post that said the league should implement the rule. I don’t think THAT would be legal

Then Hunter is your guy. This is our 3rd 0-8 season with him as the AD. In fact, I believe we are 14-52 in SEC play while he's been the AD. Somebody needs to poach him from us.

And $4-$5 million isn't enough to do this already? Liquidated damages deals with money for breach; non-compete deals with limiting future behavior. They are two totally different things. Courts have been shown to generally enforce liquidated damages/buyout clauses. The times they dont are when they are found to be "unreasonable". But when the coaches buyouts are so high, i think that would be a difficult bar to get over.

Non-competes clauses are often challenged and struck down for being too restrictive.

I guess we will be as mad as ole miss fans and rightfully so. However, all you other whiny arse baby fanbases melting down everywhere into a giant puddle are puzzling.

Oxford’s got plenty of places to drink. When you’re an alcoholic, you don’t need a good excuse. You’ll find a way and a place. He’ll be just fine

It’s the environment. Baton Rouge/LSU is a pressure cooker compared to Oxford/Ole Miss. Sark was on the wagon for a good while until he took HC job in Austin. Didn’t take long to fall off the wagon.

I've lived in Baton Rouge for 30 years and been sober 27 years and know a lot of others that are sober and don't drink he'll be fine.
