Most recent article on Umanmielen scenario

Is from an Ole Miss site, but it’s actually pretty good: HottyToddy
Sounds like the Rebs are about to get dicked down by NCAA bylaws, if I’m taking this guy’s word for it.

The posture LSU is taking — daring Ole Miss to enforce a contract — feels less like roster building and more like stress testing the entire structure.
quote:
LSU has more than money in play. It has familiarity. Kiffin didn’t bring Pete Golding or Randall Joyner, but he did add Lou Spanos, Ole Miss’ former assistant defensive line coach and a key influence with the Umanmielen family. That’s not accidental. That’s leverage

Do contracts mean anything, or are they just speed bumps for richer programs?

For the millionth time, this happens every single time a coach and his staff go from one school to another.

Acting like he brought his employee with him only for leverage for one player. They're so stupid.

The most interesting part is the bit about Ole Miss wanting to see if contracts are enforceable outside the portal window.
This is either posturing or incredibly stupid — because enforceable or not, the contract has nothing to do with the transfer portal.
Prohibiting transfer is federally illegal, an NCAA violation, and the only relevance the contract has to the entire situation is if Ole Miss attempts to pursue damages.
They either enter his name or get sued & potentially penalized by the league in addition. The only question is whether or what we pay them.

Right. Let's not hire the right guy for all of the other players. We are going to bring this one coach here for this one player.

So Lane brought that defensive line coach just to recruit one player, they really are some idiots.

Anyone else hoping Ole Miss wins this one?
If contracts aren’t enforceable, then what are we even doing?

You need to educate yourself. Or just read my previous reply.
The powers that be decided to die on the hill that NIL is not pay-for-play. Therefore NIL contracts have nothing to do with playing at a particular school.
Revenue sharing is actually enforceable, so we probably have a buyout to pay.
No contract can restrict a player’s ability to enter the transfer portal. It is both federally illegal & an NCAA violation.

LSU wants to enforce the contract by paying the buyout and then signing the player.

Either I’m not understanding the situation or you’re not understanding the situation. It is my understanding there is an ‘out’ clause in the contract (i.e. a buyout). That was specifically put there in the event the player wanted to remove himself from the contract. Both parties agreed to this condition. If he pays the buyout he is free to do what wants.
Again, I may be misunderstanding the specifics.

And employed him at Ole miss for 3 year to prepare for this day.

What exactly do you think needs to be enforced? The buyout? Allegedly LSU is willing to pay it. I don't know if that is true or not which is why I used the word allegedly.

Yes I really appreciate how they mention the linebackers name that ole miss did this with but don’t draw any parallels

Like a coach’s contract? That’s what buyouts are for…
I don’t especially like it - but it’s where we are.

quote:are you implying that a head coach should never be able to leave their school until the contract is up? if the player's contract gives him an out like it does for coaches, there is nothing wrong with the player leaving...the optics aren't great, but stuff like this happen in the real world all the time.

Maybe they should pose this question to Clemson.
The Ole Miss bunch sure is doing their best to navigate the tightrope of hypocrisy.
