Ole Miss has filed suit for breach of contract against two former players who transferred to LSU, adding yet another layer to the drama between the schools over Lane Kiffin’s departure.The school signaled its intent to do so several weeks ago, and on Tuesday announced it had followed through, suing edge rusher Princewill Umanmielen and offensive lineman Devin Harper.“The University of Mississippi values its student-athletes and is committed to honoring all obligations made to them. In return, the university expects that same commitment from its student-athletes and their representatives in upholding their contracts,” the university said in a statement.“Before transferring to another institution, student-athletes Devin Harper and Princewill Umanmielen signed revenue sharing agreements that included a provision requiring them to compensate the university with a predetermined amount if they departed before fulfilling their commitment. The University of Mississippi has a responsibility to enforce its contractual terms, and this position is consistent with the actions of other institutions in the current landscape of college athletics. The university attempted to amicably resolve this matter prior to filing.”LSU, Umanmielen and Harper have not responded to a request for comment.Umanmielen and Harper followed Kiffin from Oxford to Baton Rouge after last season ended. They weren’t the only ones — linebacker TJ Dottery also did so — but Ole Miss says Umanmielen and Harper missed deadlines to pay buyout money as required by revenue sharing agreements.The school didn’t give an amount, but On3 has reported it was just short of $1 million.College QB Tiers: Which quarterback has the highest ceiling?Antonio Morales and Sam Khan Jr.Umanmielen is a senior who has compiled 10.5 sacks and 20 tackles-for-loss across two seasons at Nebraska and one at Ole Miss.
