No one is happy about this situation. Turning a blind eye to it, doesn't mean he's right.  You can feel bad for your friend and still understand the University's position.  As another poster said, pony up the settlement dollars if you all feel so bad for KO.

While I believe there was just cause (which we don't have to argue about as the court's will decide) Ollie alienated a whole string of players who felt they had to leave to be successful. How many players underachieved? Accepted Losing? How many transferred out and how many more would have if Danny not tried exceptionally hard to retain them.  Not only did Ollie cheat and get caught, he set us up for this dismal trek in the desert. How does Caron feel about how a generation of UConn players getting fed up enough to leave or want to leave. There was obviously something wrong with his relationship with players.

Fair or not, I place the blame for this whole awful stretch on Ollie, his impact is still being felt..
