## LSU Players in Legal Battles
It's Week 3 of LSU football's season, and it's the third week that LSU staff of players have been involved in legal battles one way or another.
## Umanmielen Served with Papers
The LSU and Ole Miss rivalry took a dramatic turn on Tuesday when the Tigers' star defensive end Umanmielen was served with court papers right outside of LSU's football building before entering.
## Lawsuit Details
The papers are related to the Rebels' lawsuit against him, according to court records that ESPN obtained.
## Lawsuit Filed in July
The lawsuit was filed in late July after Ole Miss filed breach-of-contract lawsuits against former players and current LSU players Harper and Umanmielen.
## Harper Expected to Be Served
While only Umanmielen has been served, Harper is expected to get his papers soon, On3's WIlson Alexander also reported Wednesday morning.
## Ole Miss Playing Saturday
The timing of the serve comes at a perfect time for the Rebels, as No. 7 LSU is set to play at No. 8 Ole Miss on Saturday.
## Legal Procedure Details
ESPN reported that the court records said Umanmielen was served with his 'first set of interrogatories, requests for production of documents and requests for admission.'

## What the Lawsuit Aims For
Ole Miss' effort in the lawsuit is aimed at forcing LSU to account for the $900,000 on its revenue-sharing cap, not to recoup money from its former players.
## Transfer Portal Timeline
Ole Miss' allegation is that Umanmielen signed a revenue-sharing contract to return to the Rebels on Jan. 3, but then he entered the transfer portal on Jan. 20 and signed with LSU the next day.
## Key takeaway

Ole Miss sued LSU players Umanmielen and Harper for breach of contract after they transferred to LSU within 90 days of signing with Rebels.
