Don't ever let anyone tell you it isn't about the money.

Former LSU football coach Brian Kelly filed a lawsuit against the school Monday. The suit says that representatives from LSU told his lawyers in a call earlier Monday that Kelly was not "formally terminated" last month and that it now seeks to fire him for cause , according to a copy obtained by The Advocate. Kelly’s people shot back that they want the full $54 million he’s owed.

There’s virtually no limit to the lengths people will fight over a vastly smaller amount of money than this, which is on paper the second-biggest buyout in college football history. There’s little question that both LSU and Kelly have resorted to the nuclear option, and that now there is virtually no way for this to end amicably.
