LSU coach Brian Kelly signed one of the most lucrative contracts in college football history when he was hired to coach the Tigers program ahead of the 2022 season. But thanks to some missed paperwork discovered by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor's office, the school accidentally gave Kelly a little extra. Kelly was mistakenly overpaid by $1,001,368 across May and June 2022 because of a costly clerical error, according to documents obtained by the Greater Baton Rouge Business Report.
When Kelly signed the massive 10-year, $95 million contract, he originally organized for his payments to go straight into his bank account. In May, Kelly reached an Employment and License IP agreement with LSU to have the payments delivered directly to an LLC in his name. Unfortunately for the school, however, someone forgot to turn off the direct payments.
