An airline charter company that FAMU maintains breached a contract with the school has been sued by the University to recover a $26,000 deposit and $30,000 in increased cost.
FAMU attorneys took action against Global Airline Services who the University maintains failed to deliver on its contract to fly the Rattler football team to Virginia for a 2007 match-up against Hampton University. FAMU maintains it paid the airline a $26,000 deposit and with less than a week's notice, the company notified the school saying it could not accommodate the squad forcing the University to make arrangements with a different airline. The substitute flight cost the team an additional $80,000.
University officials are asking for a return of the deposit plus $30,000 for in increase cost.
The word in this article maintains, sounds familiar.Thats the same word former athletic director, Nelson Townsend uses when he told lies about other money issues.
