Who is advising LSU in this matter?
The argument that Woodward and four LSU officials didn't have the authority to fire BK is laughable.

Hard to imagine any reputable attorney would be advancing this clown bullshite. It has to be coming directly from Governor Dumbass because he thinks so little of his voters that he believes it will help his political career to be able to claim credit for this shitshow.

Yea this has been going on for years. I think you need the state legislature to literally pass a bill to get damages against the state of LA paid. It used to be like that anyway I thought. Good luck with that.

Hm. Presumably he could've reset his residency to Massachusetts and filed in federal court. Would've let him skip the whole sovereign immunity issue. But perhaps that would be conceding that he abandoned the state so they had cause to fire him?
Skadden if you're reading you should've hired me as LC. As you can see I'm a great issue spotter. Stone Pigman made a huge mistake passing on me back as a 2L

I found the attached exhibits most interesting. Did Verge's insecurity allow him to get baited by Kelly's attorney? I thinks so. Here's the sequence that caught my attention:
On Oct. 31 (after Woodward fired/resigned), Kelly's attorneys send email to John Carmouche (LSU BoS) (copying Verge) looking for written confirmation that LSU intends to honor terms of BK's buyout payments. Email references Oct. 27 call with Verge and Ms. Cromer of LSU where they "confirmed LSU intended to honor the terms of the Agreement pertaining to termination without cause". He goes on to end the email declaring that Verge ended the same conversation on Oct. 27 by saying that "someone from the LSU Board of Supervisors or the Governor's Office would be reaching out for further discussions."
The reference of Verge having made a statement implying that the Governor's office might be running further buyout discussions seems to have struck a nerve with Verge. (He's already being painted as a 'Yes Man' for the Gov on these message boards and locally so it's got to be an insecurity of his, especially if he did not actually say this.)
So the next day (Nov. 1) Verge replied with a short email stating "Good evening. At no time did we say someone from the governors office would be reaching out. We said someone from the Board of supervisors would be reaching out. That is the only time I had any conversation with any of Coach Kelly's representatives."
Attorneys do not receive any other response from Carmouche, Verge or otherwise. Kelly's attorneys go on to use this email response from Verge as an additional supporting exhibit in the filing to show how Verge corrected them on something he felt was wrong (misquoting him referencing that someone from Gov.'s office would reach out). They contend that Verge's silence on correcting anything else about the email implies he had no disagreement with their contention that he previously communicated LSU's intention to honor the terms of the Agreement pertaining to termination without cause.
If the lawyer just slipped that reference in about the governor's office to bait Verge into a response... I admit that was pretty slick.
Take-away: Don't ever even reply to lawyers trying to get you to rep something on paper. Even your silence in failing to retort something can be used against you.

Who did the suit get assigned to? There may be more non-LSU judges in the 19th than there are LSU Law Center judges.

The argument that Woodward and four LSU officials didn't have the authority to fire BK is laughable.

Came here to say exactly this.
It definitely looks like Verge got baited, though I’m not sure we truly know whether Carmouche or anyone else responded.
We’ll see what comes out if this actually goes to court, but a law firm sent a 2 page letter via email, including a statement that Verge verbally agreed that LSU terminated Kelly without cause (on the same call where he allegedly said someone from the BOS/governor’s office would reach out).
With that in mind, this response seems… misguided:

Leverage play…Kelly doesn’t want to go to court anymore than LSU.
Dumba$$ fans complaining about this only helps Kelly’s attorney in the PR game.
Chill out ladies and let LSU negotiate a settlement.
