03 West CoChamps

Much improved on defense slight drop off on offense in 2026.

2027 will depend on QB.

Building a roster under a soft salary cap. You have 2 players signed and assumed locked in for the roster for 26. 2 weeks later they back out. You have to go find players and probably pay more than you would have to replace them.

Not apples to apples but it’s like signing and old school NLI in December then in February signs with another team. The original team could hold that players NLI for 12 months.

This is an attempt to get back to that to have some guard rails. When you are signed you are locked in. Everyone wants Ole Miss to win to set precedent that these Rev Share contracts are enforceable.

Only LsU fans are so biased they can’t see the forest for the trees because it is their players.

He wasn’t ready last season but played pretty well at the end of the year. I would guess he is a top 3-4 QB in the conference this year with a chance to be 3-4 in the country. Potential is there. Aggies and blind and LSU is mad he didn’t end up in BR.

Rev share isnt paid out right away. It’s paid in monthly installment. Since they left within a month there is a minimal amount of money paid out, but old piss wants the full mil lol. It won't hold up in court. It sucks that your team is so broke they have to sue prior athletes.

---

For the 100th time retard it isn’t getting money back. It is a buyout clause. The contract states if you leave and not fulfill the players end of the contract then they owe “x” amount of dollars. They broke the contract and haven’t paid the buyout. Has zero to do with how much they were paid.

quote:

---

So, they paid them to play, because you can't force someone stay at a school unless they are an employee that signed a contract. They aren't school employees, and they aren't paid to play according to ole miss. There is no buyout because they aren't enployees. This isn't nazi Germany. That won't hold up in court.

---

You are retarted and need to sit this one out. You have no idea what is going on. The grown ups are talking.

quote:

---

You guys paid them for their name image and likeness, right? Thats whats legal in college sports. You didn't pay them to pay them to play, right? Because they can still meet the contractual obligations if that were the case. Now if you paid them to play that would be a violation and the contract would be voidable

---

It was Rev share contracts. It is legal salary. Every school gets 20.5 million to pay salary. These signed rec share contracts with ole Miss. the contracts had buyouts. They broke the contract and haven’t paid the buyout. They are legally required too. Stop complicating this. It’s cut and dry.

quote:

---

This is mostly PR move by Ole Miss with some vindictive overtones

---

It was a PR move by Lane to make Ole Miss have to sue players to get their contractually owed money everyone else just pays. I bet quietly LSU pays and this goes away.

quote:

---

So yall admit yall were trying to underpay them.

---

You have it backward. LSU overpaid because Lane was desperate.

quote:

---

Players aren’t going to be happy about that. Additionally like I said there are examples of common courtesy of getting cold feet and I understand Ole Miss being jaded about this. At the same time I don’t think 18, 19 20 year olds will see it the same way when the player got paid zero money and getting cold feet and changing their mind.

---

They aren’t amateurs anymore. We will see if it has an effect. I doubt it is that big. Don’t sign unless you are ready.

They kids were happy with their deal. LSU came in late and offered more. Ole Miss didn’t match. They left but all parties knew about the buyout. They decided to not pay. Now they are getting sued. You can say it’s bad PR but the players are legally obligated to pay the buyout.

quote:

---

The converse is what’s going to happen this next off season. They aren’t going to sign anything

---

I guarantee every coach in the country outside of LSU wants Ole Miss to win for precedent. Then they wouldn’t be in the spot to take the PR hit.

It is hard enough in the portal to form a roster. When players sign contracts it locks them in. There is no NLI anymore. Players just ripping up contracts can’t happen without penalty.

No one is saying they can’t play or shouldn’t have left. But the contract stated if you break the contract you owe x dollars. They didn’t pay. It’s a legal issue not an NCAA one.
