According to the lawsuit, LSU athletic director Joe Alleva sent a letter to Chavis on Jan. 2 demanding he pay a $400,000 buyout to the school in accordance with a section of Chavis' contract. The suit says Chavis gave written notice to LSU to terminate his contract Jan. 5. Chavis also claims that, according to his LSU contract, his "termination date" was effective 30 days after his termination notice, which would make Feb. 4 the effective date. Chavis' final LSU contract ran through Dec. 31, 2015, and called for the buyout to go from $400,000 to zero if the contract was terminated in the final 11 months.

If it is determined that Chavis owes the buyout -- or any amount of "liquidated damages" to LSU -- Texas A&M is obligated to pay that amount, as of Feb. 12, according to the lawsuit. Texas A&M is named as a defendant in the suit because of that obligation.

Need one of the lawyers to answer this. Seems cut and dry, but then, that's usually when it's the most murky.

NCAA recruiting violation? He was either no longer an LSU coach in January, or he was illegally recruiting for TAMU.
