So you expect me to believe that the NCAA investigation is just completely coincidental and that the school's decision to fire him with cause has nothing to do with compliance?  What is the reason then?  Nobody is contesting their right to fire Ollie.  He had done a poor job over a significant period of time.  That's very different from side-stepping a buyout that everyone paying attention to the program knew was the single biggest factor in the case to bring him back.

Nobody is suggesting the school is wrong for not [I]wanting [/I]to pay him, but if you're UConn this is a "that's life" moment where maybe you regret the way you negotiated the contract, swallow the buyout, and move on.  If they're applying just cause because he violated a workout protocol or something then that's even more petty.  Perhaps something comes out that's more egregious concerning his neglecting the fundamental responsibilities of the job, but until then there is no choice but to concede that UConn does not have a case.
