LSUs Legal Battle: Brian Kelly Sues University Over TerminationIn a surprising turn of events, former LSU football coach Brian Kelly is suing the universitys board of directors after being initially dismissed and then reportedly not terminated for cause. LSUs attempt to avoid paying Kellys $54 million buyout hinges on this legal maneuver. Kellys attorneys filed a lawsuit seeking a court ruling that his termination was without cause, ensuring he receives the full amount stipulated in his contract.
