Everyone's missing the play here. The only way that Chavis could file suit (and select the venue (Brazos County)) is if A&M took the position that it didn't owe him anything. Therefore, he files for a declaratory action in Aggieland beating LSU to the punch in being able to file lawsuit for damages in EBR Parish. Of course, A&M will pay the judgment if a court in Aggieland says Chavis is on the hook, but what do you think those odds are? Alleva outflanked once again.....


This seems to be the case...

LSU has already taken action against Chavis and it preceeded Chavis' action against LSU & aTm. LSU will be the plaintiff and Chavis will be the defendant. That won't change because the damage was caused to LSU not Chavis.

His actions prior to and immediately after the bowl game tell a much different story than a guy who was employed through the date that he claims. The details that will come out under oath will only make him look worse.

+1

Bad move by Aleva. If you truly wanted to get the 400k, instead of posturing like he obviously did, Aleva should have been running to the Courthouse in Louisiana.

But by bluffing around, he has given Chavis a chance to win, by at least setting the intial venue of the suit. Sure, a Court in Texas may rule that jurisdiction/venue is improper, but can we all agree that LSU didnt have to take that chance?
