Not everything that happens is a great scandal, except on Ragin Pagin and Ragin Review. Just saying.
    You can tell it’s almost Crawfish season. Your last sentence says a mouthful. You can say that again, again and again.

    Who said it was a "scandal?" If anything, it's another example of awful communication.

    Multiple media outlets have come out and said Louisiana pulled out of a contract. Details reveal there is a payment due if one side doesn't follow through. Athletics reps tell donors we didn't cancel the contract, leaving one program on the hook for $500K.

    This has nothing to do with Ragin Review, sir. I'm simply asking who paid the money. A different message was communicated to donors than what is being reported in the media. Unlike you and the other charity donors, I actually care where my investment goes and what we're spending money on.

    From what I have gathered, msu wanted to play an fcs school so they asked to cancel the game. We agreed to the terms with the assurance that the wake payout would be more. We definitely didn’t have to pay nor are we worse off after this.

    Was it us that cancelled the game or was it Michigan State? From my understanding, it was Michigan State which should mean we should get $500k.

    If this is accurate, someone from PR needs to correct the media reports.

    Michigan State backs out of the deal. The media is posting stories that we were the ones who backed out. But nope. Nothing to see here.

    Not sure what media reports need to be corrected. Have not seen one media report which addressed financial ramifications, so what is there to correct? Fan speculation is not a media report.

    All of College Football thinks we backed out of a contract. It shouldn't take solving the Mayan calendar to correct the record.

    It takes giving one ounce of caring.

    The department needs to get out in front on things like this.

    The way Michigan State Spartan outlets framed it, Louisiana left them holding the bag.

    No one appears to be saying it's some great scandal. We would just like to know the financial implications, if there are any.

    "I am almost certain that Dr. Maggard did not voluntarily give up 500 grand for no reason."

    You're almost certain. Why can't there be communication with RCAF donors, at least, as to what happened? Especially in light of the media reports saying we backed out and pointing to the $500k cancelation fee.
