This has been updated to include a fascinating part of Lane Kiffin's deal: LSU agreed to pay his postseason bonuses even though he won't coach Ole Miss in the CFP, so he could still make up to $1 million if the Rebels win a national title without him. t.co/ivoL2TMgiE

Ole Miss has already removed the names of nine coaches and staffers expected to follow Lane Kiffin to LSU from its online directory, including OC Charlie Weis Jr., GM Billy Glasscock and more.

This is a must-read story on Lane Kiffin's decision to leave Ole Miss.

For a brief moment in time right now, LSU is paying Lane Kiffin, Brian Kelly and Ed Orgeron. It sends Orgeron his last buyout payment of $426,000 on Dec. 15. Yeah, there's money in the banana stand.

LSU and offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. reached an amended three-year, $7.5M deal this week, per his new term sheet, after there was interest from Ole Miss in keeping him. It includes an annual "look-in" to always make him the highest-paid SEC OC. t.co/H6uqhrE1Hj

LSU made its first move in responding to Brian Kelly's lawsuit today by giving new school president Wade Rousse authority to send him "written notice of termination." LSU has argued it never formally fired Kelly, a key point in the suit. t.co/H3UWA5Gi6u

This may not mean anything, but gosh it's great theater: a private plane left Baton Rouge this morning to go to Oxford. It was scheduled to return to Baton Rouge — and now it's going to Gainesville instead.

LSU and Brian Kelly are at odds over his buyout. His attorneys requested the full $54M and said he may "pursue all available legal remedies." LSU made settlement offers before Scott Woodward's ouster. News and details on @theadvocatebr (+): t.co/n7hMUDZ6w7

Nick Saban on "College GameDay" said he thinks Lane Kiffin is weighing where he can recruit the best players and continued to vouch for Kiffin being able to coach through the postseason.
