i feel like a provision that requires money from a certain fund to pay a buyout isn’t enforceable and would be knocked down by a court.
Right now, there is no real enforcement of anything in the House Settlement. The College Football Commission has been just making shite up as we go along, but they aren’t tied to the NCAA and they have no authority. It’s basically a voluntary system that everyone agreed to and is mostly following for the moment.
The Notre Dame AD just came out against their cap numbers, which also can’t be enforced right now. It’s really just a house of cards and it will collapse as soon as a school challenges it. Unless the NCAA gets an anti-trust exemption and takes these guidelines and gives them teeth, teams will start blatantly skirting these rules as soon as next offseason.

I get it from LSU’s side. A non 3-down edge commanding that type of price tag? I “think” Jordan Ross could potentially replicate the production Umanmielen provided.
And use those funds on Seaton.
Agree. We seem to have an unlimited amount of money, but if it is either/or then a starting LT is our top need at this point. Baker applies pressure in numerous ways and we have speed everywhere D.
Wishing for both is real life these days.

We have an outside NIL collective that does not apply to the cap. It’s one reason we landed Kiffin.
I understand that. But the LSU collective has no relevance here. When a team signs a player with an existing rev share contract, that team inherits a rev share cap hit on the “buyout”, no matter if it’s paid by the school or the player. I believe the hit is applied to the next season, but the point is it’s there.
So, sure, you can structure other players’ rev share deals to offset that cap hit and make them whole on the NIL side, but you can’t work around cap hit by giving the new player the amount of the buyout through NIL and having them pay it directly.

"Ole Miss is waiting on the buyout to get paid before they do anything. He has a buyout and LSU has yet to agree to pay it. It can't come from a booster but has to come out of their rev share pool which may or may not be tied up in other contracts."
Let them continue to show the league, current players, future players and fans their true colors and fiscal policies!

Why would a buyout have to be paid before they do paperwork?
They want something in writing legally binding before they submit the paperwork.

If revenue sharing is tied up surely there is a way to renovate one guy
I genuinely don’t know what you’re trying to say here, but I don’t think “revovate” means what you think it does

I've been using AI to look into this claim of LSU having to use its revenue sharing pool to pay the buyout according to all these claims as it doesn't sit well with me as I didn't think the house settlement would have such language. According to AI, it doesn't.
AI summary.
LSU's revenue sharing pool can only be used for direct athlete compensation under the House Settlement - things like roster payment and school-issued contracts. A buyout is not athlete compensation; its a contractual penalty between the player and Ole Miss. Because of that, NCAA rules prohibit LSU from paying it, and revenue sharing money legally cannot be used for it. Even if Ole Miss wrote something different into the contract, that clause would be unenforceable because NCAA rules override private agreements.
Princewill has three legal ways to cover to cover the buyout. (1) his agent can fron the money as an advance or loan, which is cleanest option if the agent is legitimate; (2) he can sign a third party NIL deal with business and use that compensation to pay the buyout, as long as the deal isn't tied to LSU; (3) he can pay it himself through personal funds, family help, or a loan. None of these involve LSU's revenue sharing pool, which is why Ole Miss narrative doesn't hold up.
Now AI could be wrong, but the revenue sharing thing never made sense to me and seemed like a trap for a tampering case since he technically is not in portal until his buyout is paid according to Ole Miss.
edit to add an LSU NIL can't sign the guy until the 48 hour window passes to avoid tampering. Once buyout is paid by the new NIL deal, then LSU can legally talk to him since Ole Miss is the one illegally holding him back. This would weaken any tampering case Ole Miss would try to use since they would be illegally holding a player back from entering the portal regardless of what their contract states, NCAA rule is in black and white.

This is where I’m at….How you going to ask for money to buyout a player not in the portal?…..you sly Rebels, you.
