LSU Term Sheet for Lane Kiffin Lists $500,000 Home-Sale Backstop as Oxford Price Discrepancy Surfaces

Sportico reports the contract pegs the purchase at $2.89 million, a figure disputed by the seller as well as third-party listings in Mississippi’s nondisclosure market.

Overview

  • Sportico obtained Kiffin’s Nov. 29 term sheet, which includes a provision reimbursing up to $500,000 if he sells his Oxford, Mississippi, primary residence at a loss.
  • The document states a $2.89 million purchase price for the home, a figure that would anchor any loss calculation under the clause.
  • The home’s seller, Hollis Wayne Butler Jr., told Sportico the sale was about $1.65 million, consistent with Redfin’s listing, though Mississippi’s nondisclosure rules prevent public confirmation of the exact price.
  • Zillow estimates the current market value near $2.4 million, and county records show Kiffin financed the 2021 purchase with a Morgan Stanley Private Bank loan.
  • LSU and Kiffin’s agent Jimmy Sexton did not respond to inquiries, and the clause’s optics are drawing scrutiny given LSU’s broader $91 million, seven-year deal and prior questions over contract oversight.
