I thought we had some of the happiest cities in America?

or, you could even e-mail the other and say, look, I did this. It odesn't make a difference. Do you agree? ANd if they agree, they might be ABLE to later claim your change isn't valid, but they probably won't, because hey, it didn't make a difference.
And the question is whether this difference is material to the issue at hand anyway.

You don't pay a man millions of dollars and "tidy" up the contract without his acceptance.
It seems you have not signed many contracts.
I have signed contracts for much less and had to initial each change made to the contract.
If LSU did any differently, they were unprofessional!

I deal with contracts every fricking day. I've done this kind of thing over e-mail numerous times.
If the other side had the contract and signed it, though, I wouldn't do it without some kind ogreement from the other side to apply the changed page to the rest of the unchanged pages and create an electronic version.
But I am talking about with the other side's consent.
Let me just say this for everybody's benefit: articles about legal shite are usually worthless. People run with the stories they read, but they typically don't have a good understanding, because the real facts/issues are often way too complicated or annoying to explain than people want to read in a newspaper. COnsider the reading level newspapers are written at versus the level legal briefs are written at.

Well, there are two things clear in this thread.
1. Nobody except Mac actually read the article. The clauses of the contract that were changed are quoted in the article. So we should probably stop wondering what was changed.
2. There are a lot of armchair lawyers on tRant.
Derp
The article has been updated

Was LSU ever claiming that the altered version was the one Chavis signed?

bullshite.
Give me an example where secretly and unilaterally altering the terms of a contract is ethical. And I'm not talking about your example of making notes in the margins or some crap. I mean changing material terms without the other party's knowledge.

What terms of the contract were altered? It's the same contract terms but different wording of it.
Posted on 12/17/15 at 2:54 pm to baybeefeetz
2 things here. #1 does this change even make a difference. The change clarifies the dates. Gets rid of the unknown of did they mean the first of the 12th month or end of the 12th month. So did it matter anyway. Would have to see more of where this clause is from.
2nd was it told to Chavis that they were making this simple change. Is their email record etc.

So the administration changed the buyout clause after Chavis signed the agreement. What the hell. Do we officially have the most inept athletic administration in the history of major college sports?
Did you even read the article you linked?
Three changes:
1) Changing the name of the LSU president/chancellor/whatever because a new guy took the office after Chavis signed and before it was approved by the BoS
2&3) Changing the designation of the buyout period from a span of numbered months to a specific day of each of the referenced months in two provisions
Neither change had any impact on the terms of the contract, the length or amount of the buyout or any other provision.
In addition, Chavis signed ANOTHER agreement a year after that which ratified the changes LSU made.
Also, incidentally, LSU, through a public records request, obtained a copy of a contract signed by Chavis and A&M in DECEMBER 2014, but Chavis and A&M are still claiming he wasn't hired by A&M until February. Note that the deadline for his buyout was January 31st.
Of these two developments, one seems MUCH more significant than the other, yet the bullshite one is the one that gets publicity? Typical.

Let me put this in simple terms for you
There you go again with that smarmy attitude.
The quote that you badly misinterpreted was from Chavis's lawyer. Of course they're going to assert that the contract was altered without his consent.
You came in with your usual "oh silly children, let me educate you" post that was incorrect as usual. Par for the course.
Posted on 12/17/15 at 2:55 pm to Pax Regis
it's a piece of paper. You can piss on it if you want to. You just can't change it and then try to enforce the changed terms or pass it off as teh agreed-to language.
Has LSU tried to do that?

That original article was an abortion of an article. The write and Chavis's lawyer need to fricking kill themselves.
