As far as I know USC has honored the agreement to these other contract holders. These others I assume just decided to pay the fee when they did not have to. So if USC tries to keep charging these people fees, they can say "no," and if USC does not allow them to purchase seats, than that is a material possibly fundamental breach of a contract that they can sue for, and the statue of limitations starts ticking when USC manifests it's intention to refuse to sell them the seats. I guess USC could argue that it manifested that intention when it started charging the fees, but the court treated that as an intent to alter the contract by adding an addition term, not to refuse performance. So I don't think res judicata or statute of limitations is going to be a viable defense for USC. What Mr. Lee's declaratory judgment did was preclude USC from arguing the issue again that requiring additional fees is consistent with the current contracts. I don't think any of these people are going to get refunds, but they won't have to pay the fees anymore. |

![]() I am USC here is what I do.
1. We are going to raise ticket prices $500. 2. We are going to make the fee optional for $500 for everyone and call it something else. 3. Anyone who pays the optional "donation" will get $600 off NEXT year's tickets. |

![]() I think Ray is likely to just stop charging the fee to the 200 boosters going forward. I don't think anyone gets a refund. Mr. Lee, according to what he told us, is not seeking a refund. Either way, it makes no nevermind to me as I will support the Gamecocks regardless.

Even if it was never officially said, Eric Hyman was brought in to do a job- modernize the USC Athletic Department. That's what he did at TCU, and he more than accomplished that at Carolina. I don't think Hyman ever truly bought into Carolina at a personal level. I always thought it was because he was an No.Car. alumn - but it never felt like he was one of us. My favorite example of this is how he never once referred to us as "Carolina" - always "South Carolina." That said, but I always felt like he was doing his job and doing it well. I thought he showed great leadership during hard times (NCAA investigation), and he sure did a hell of a job recruiting coaches (Frank Martin, Dawn Staley, Chad Holbrook). I fully expect that the Board of Trustees knew Hyman would ruffle some feathers with the YES Program. But ultimately, what had been tried for over 100 years wasn't working, and I think they knew it had to be done in order to play with the big boys. So regarding the contracts, everyone who is from South Carolina - or who has lived there long enough - knows that there is a very strong "good ol' boys" club in this state. It exists at all levels of government and business; and our universities are no exception. The whole deal reeks of the good ol' boy system hard at work (a lifetime, willable contract? Even in the 80's people weren't that stupid). I personally applaud Hyman for bucking that system, and it's my opinion that this is at least part of the reason why the families that benefited from the deal are so pissed off about it.

![]() Whatever they decide is best is fine with me. Like I said, my issue was only the attitude that someone would take the stance that USC would be doing the wrong or unethical thing because they want out of a contract that is basically forever. If it was a shorter term contract, say 15 years or so, that would be different story. To expect someone to go on forever and ever and never change their mind and when they finally do after DECADES is a low blow. USC does not owe the lifetime members anything because of duty and honor. That is not the reason they are doing this. So no one should even be going there. It's just a matter of how much it is going to cost them to get out of this deal vs how much it will cost them to keep allowing it. Which is really thanks me and the other Gamecock fans who will be making up the difference so that they decide to just keep letting you get your deal, so you are welcome. I think these people paying the seat fees deserve a little more appreciation, should give these fans something for paying these fees. USC and the GGC should them parking and concession credits or something.
