Did LSU ever pay A&M for backing out of their series with 2 games left in the 90s? Speaking of LSU backing out of series, I wonder when they are going to finally play their last game with Tulane in NOLA. The date for that game has been TBA for years. It'd be cool if it was at Tulane's stadium but would make a lot more sense to be at the Super Dome.

They did indeed pay A&M an agreed-upon sum: $100,000. quote:LSU cancelled the series with two games remaining after the 1995 game in College Station. LINK As for Tulane, I could see that game happening in the next few years, actually. But again, it's not a big money-maker for LSU, so I'm not certain.

Yes, as a cynical Aggie fan I have a god drat PhD in Homer Bullshit. And as a lawyer, all of this is so much hot air absent any evidence that the NCAA's definition of employment and the Louisiana judicial definition of employment (or any definition specified in Chavis' contract) are identical. The NCAA is not an extension of the legal system and the two positions don't necessarily conflict. I'm not privy to the details so I don't know, but that hasn't stopped the Louisiana media from confidently asserting checkmate.

From a (Louisiana) attorney that I know: quote:Chavis' problem is his time line vis-a-vis whether he was in breach of his LSU contract -- and if he was deemed to be recruiting for A&M while that contract was in place, then a.) he owes the buy-out, and b.) A&M has potential problems with the powers that be since it hadn't officially recognized him as a recruiter.

Elotana posted:Bringing up TORTITO INTERFERENCE is like a neon sign for Homer Bullshit. Baylor homers who dimly remembered the Restatement were saying the same thing during realignment. Who's running away from what's known about his particular case now? You are hand-waving away tortous(sic) interference because in your estimation, it's never been successful. But you keep ignoring what is known about the timeline, the contract, & the lawsuits. Any minute now, I expect to hear "You're just butt-hurt we stole Chavis" in true Aggie fashion, despite the fact that we haven't even discussed the potential recruiting violation.

Tortious interference between LSU and A&M directly is definitely not happening though. That's not a homer call because there have been far more shady coaching hires that didn't result in a lawsuit.

They usually get to a negotiated settlement before a verdict is reached, however. West Virginia went after Rich Rodriguez pretty hard when he jumped to Michigan, for example.

Elotana posted:Going after the coach is different from going after the school that hired him. The latter is a lot tougher. It may very well be the case that Chavis (or A&M) ends up paying the buyout. (My hunch is that if they are liable, A&M would look at what the NCAA penalties would be and then pick whichever horn of the buyout/sanctions dilemma gores less.) But damages for tortious interference is another thing. Again, hearsay, but a lot of people connected with LSU claim that A&M & LSU were working out details whereby A&M would pay the buyout. Chavis' attorney took, at least LSU representatives, by surprise by suing LSU (and A&M, which sure...it's strategic) in Texas. EDIT: Also I heard last night that A&M has an $11B endowment. Holy poo poo-balls!

I thought that's how most season ticket programs worked? At UGA, it's the Hartman Fund and you get 1 point for every 1 dollar you donate. As you get more points, you are eligible for better season tickets as they open up, parking passes, priority away tickets, etc.

Maybe this is to let some younger people get better tickets from older alumni or something?

UGA did a Young Alumni program a couple of years ago, where you could become eligible for tickets at a lower donation level if you went to school there. I could also be completely be misreading what that quote above means.
