Ole Miss Football Player Files $40M Lawsuit Against Lane Kiffin, School

@GatorGrowl there is a six page thread from Sept.

Yikes…Ole Miss football player reportedly files lawsuit against Lane Kiffin, university

 

I am not a Kiffin fan, but must admit he is growing on me.

 

Kiffin, Ole Miss ask to dismiss player's $40M suit

The player has never been dismissed from the team and is still on scholarship.

There is no discrimination because no white player has ever asked for a "mental health break" under Kiffin. So no one has been treated differently.

 

Lane isn't a complete idiot
Some parts are missing

 

No crap. That kid sounds like a complete loser.

 

This case will go nowhere.
Prediction: Confidential settlement in the $10K range

 

Sure. He's good for a few laughs. Just so you're clear he is dirtbag at at his core.

 

My understanding is that Kiffin requested a meeting with the guy. His response was to tell the party that relayed the message that he “wasn’t ready” to do that. Then showed up 2 weeks later and recorded the conversation. It was nothing more than a trap, set by the player, to bring a lawsuit against the school.

 

Is recording a conversation without the other party's knowledge still a crime? Or is it just a phone thing? I think it used to be, but I can't recall the last time anyone mentioned it.

 

Just when I thought I had seen the most ridiculous of lawsuits……

 

I like your post tiegator but, real justice would be served by charging the plaintiff and his attorney 10 grand or so for wasting the court’s time.

 

It’s legal most places as long as one party consents. In this case, the kid recording is obviously the consenting party.

 

that may happen.

 

Legal in Mississippi to my understanding.

 

Depends on the state. Mississippi is one party consent. There are a few states that are two party consent.

Eleven states require the consent of every party to a phone call or conversation in order to make the recording lawful. These "two-party consent" laws have been adopted in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington.

Thanks...1 party consent doesn't make a lot of sense, but then again, I guess its so a 3rd party can't record without a valid warrant. Does this apply to video as well....I'm assuming no.

 

I don’t know if there’s any restrictions on video. I think it only applies to audio. Although a lot of businesses do have signs that say video cameras in use.

 

So hurt feelings of an employee are worth $40M?

I better go ahead and declare bankruptcy now, ill be Billions in debt.
