I say just leave it be. Much like refusing to grant a transfer request to a player, LSU's reputation can only be hurt by demanding the buy-out money. LSU should be seen as a place where coaches come from far and wide to be a part of not as a bitter, jilted lover. If Chavis doesn't want to be a part of LSU, then good-bye and good luck. Time to move on and look ahead to better things.

So for your analogy you're saying it would reflect poorly on LSU if they didn't grant a transfer request for a player to transfer to an in-conference and in-division school?

So you think LSU shouldn't make him live up to the agreed upon terms in his contract? If we owed him $4 million on the same contract, do you think he would "let it be"?
What exactly do you think a contract is for? WE have lived up to every cent and word in his contract, he should be held to the same standard. There is a reason those words were put into the contract and it was part of the bargaining and protection for LSU.
He did what he did with aTm without respect for LSU and his team.
He should be held to the terms of the contract he signed and was substantially paid on, period.

Cool, np. Maybe you could cover the missing $400,000? Make the check out to Athletic Department, Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College.

I agree, but what's the point of a buyout if it's not going to be enforced??

Easy to say when it is someone else's money. You probably work for the government.

Buyouts aren't anything new. Everyone in the industry (coaches and universities) understand how they work. Nobody is going to look unfavorably at LSU for requiring Chavis to pay a buyout (assuming it's a clear cut issue).

Two things wrong with this: 1. We're short $400k, and $400k is a lot of money; it's about 7% of the total that the academic side got from the athletic department. 2.)It sets a precedent that coaches can flout their contracts, and LSU won't enforce it. It would encourage more of these shenanigans.
I know a lot of fans think LSU has an infinite supply of money, but that's not so. The football program has budgets and has to live within them.
