That is a completely unfounded assumption.  Neither Benedict or UConn has ever said that an NCAA violation has anything to do with their "cause" for firing Ollie.  So many people here keep spouting that line as if it is some proven fact.  There are dozens of things that could be cause.   I don't want to speculate here, but given his alleged behavior, it wouldn't be difficult to think of a few.  Not to mention that as [USER=44]@CL82[/USER] has shown with the contract language, being bad at his job, as a coach, can also be cause.  Maybe you think his agent was an 11 year old, but it is written there in black and white.  I don't think any employer would sign any contract where they couldn't fire a terrible employee for just being very bad at their job, and neglecting their duties.

The school is not in the wrong in any way for not wanting to pay a guy who they fired because he stunk, for the years in which he won't have to do any work or coach the team.  How is that wrong?  Ollie isn't going to have to work for UConn and they don't have to pay him.  That's the definition of fair.
