“The sovereign immunity refers to the fact that the government cannot be sued without its consent.”
If the state government so chooses, they can extend the rights of sovereign immunity to the institution in question, preventing the ACC from suing the school for breaking the GOR.
Texas Tech received this immunity from lawsuit by Leach when he felt the school still owed him money following the termination of his contract.
I’m no lawyer but this was an interesting read. If this is possible, it appears that a State can declare a college “Immune” to being sued on a breach of contract.
If this was possible, would a State Legislature such as Fl. or SC be willing make such a move?
