Seems to me according to article, he doesn't owe LSU anything. He resigned Jan 5, within 11 months of contract end, no buy out action. Alleva got wind, tried to force by sending letter prior to Dec 31. Move on, no buy out in site.

On Jan. 2, Alleva sent a letter to Chavis requesting the coach pay a $400,000 buyout. In the letter, Alleva writes that LSU is owed the buyout because Chavis broke his contract before Jan. 31, 2015. Chavis’ deal did not have a buyout if he left during the last 11 months of the deal.


Your attempt to slam Alleva has backfired in your face. The deadline for the buyout was not dec 31 it was jan 31st.

. I agree. Alleva sent a letter before Chavis resigned demanding $400K... when Chavis didn't owe anything. That sounds like a hostile environment to me.

I would also like to see the contract, because the article only mentions e-mails from Alleva.

There are 12 months in a year. Technically, when he signed, it was outside the 11 month term based on Dec. 31, 2015 when his contract ended. He would have had to wait to sign in February to be within that 11-month time-frame.
