To me, it matters somewhat.  UCONN fired KO for losing.  UCONN said they fired KO for breach of contract.  If they said they fired him for losing, they would owe him his money.  If they said they fired him for breach of contract, they don't owe him his money.  I don't like that UCONN is putting up this charade of firing him for breach of contract when we all know he was losing his job for losing. I also don't like that Ollie is often blamed for the losing, when we all knew the realty of playing in the American - less talent, less TV time, less fanbase interest - which eventually led to less winning.  This whole situation is just a mess.  With us going back into the BE, it's like a fresh start.  We need to get rid of this storm cloud, and I feel the best way to do so is to just pay him off and we go our separate ways.  They are squabbling over amounts that are relatively small compared to the budgets of the state/school/athletic dept., and while this stays in court, it is costing everyone resources (including our time/energy here on the BY!).  Let's move on.
