Said they are suing due to the fact that they lost out on a lot of money this past week in not having a game.

just reported on ESPN, working on a link

what the frick? Seriously JSU?

ETA: just though it would be worked out between the two without the need of a suit. sheesh

How else are they supposed to get that lost revenue back due to no fault of their own?

Grambling should offer to pay for the damage they caused without making JSU sue.

Can you imagine if Furman decided not to show up Saturday?

LSU would have to refund $3.6 million for tickets plus all lost revenue for concessions.

I get that JSU doesn't even get 10% of that amount of revenue on a gameday, but it's still money lost.

What do you think LSU would do if Furman would suddenly forfeit their game this week?

The link says Jackson State will be seeking "indirect financial losses" on behalf of the city as well. That's a difficult estimate that could be hard to agree upon. Also "plans to pursue litigation" is not the same thing as demanding a trial; it's the first step in bringing the other side to the bargaining table. And a suit preserves their claim.

Let someone take $150-200K out of your pocket and let's see how you feel.

LA taxpayers will foot the bill. Wish Jindal didn't turn down the federal grant just to gain brownie points with his beloved GOP.

Sad day for my beloved SWAC. Eddie Robinson is turning over in his grave. On one hand im glad the players took a stand, but on the other hand I think they are a bunch of pussies.

Their facilites didnt become like this overnight..why didnt they protest a few years back when they were winning the SWAC west? Why wait until you suck arse this year about to go against the #1 team in the SWAC?


If a storied 1-AA program like GSU has facilities like this, I wonder what Mississippi Valley State's facilites look like. They are the poorest school in the poorest state, yet their players are not pulling stuff like this.

Yeah JSU! How dare you try and hold Grambling accountable for not fulfilling their contractual obligations!?!?! It would be more newsworthy if they DIDN'T sue Grambling.
