"Ollie’s legal team continues to do whatever it can to deflect from the facts — many uncontested — that led to his termination,” read a UConn statement on Feb. 23, in reaction to the Hurley subpoena.Haven’t followed this BS in a while. For anyone that is, is he still saying he did nothing wrong and that the firing wasn’t with just cause?

who woulda thunk it woulda gotten so messy?
When Kevin is in a protected class, and Jim isn't, that is pretty close to how it works.KO's defense amounts to "Jim Calhoun did just as much wrong as me and still got paid therefore I deserve to get paid too."
That's not how it works Kevin.
The only thing missing weeping tears.
I’m saying this should’ve been dispensed of by July 2018.Are you still riding the "pay him his 10 million to go away"?
Which party has been embarrassed here.

I'm not saying he should get paid.
But if his argument is the language in the contracts were the same/similar, but they fired him and not Calhoun for the same/similar transgressions, then he was treated differently, and the fact he's in a protected class means he can make that argument and potentially still get paid.
There's a very legitimate argument to be made as to why he was treated differently, and why it had nothing to do with race. I won't bother making it, but I don't think the school did anything wrong and only think he should be paid to make this go away. But he's protected, so if he's treated differently for similar actions, then the school will need to successfully make that argument.
I thought the language in both contracts was the same, but the University's story was that Ollie's contract was delivered with oral emphasis/reinforcement to the effect that "we really mean it this time" re NCAA compliance because of the past issues.From what I have read. The language in the contracts is not the same. In Fact, the specific language in Ollie's contract was a direct result of the compliance issues Calhoun had that led to UConn's punishment and a warning from the NCAA that future infractions will be treated worse. Maybe a good lawyer can make hay with that, but the language in the contracts was not the same
Everything is messy with him now. He had the world by the balls and squandered it all, I kind of just feel badly for him at this point. Hopefully he made some good investments over the years and isn't staking everything on this.who woulda thunk it woulda gotten so messy?
