There's been a lot of talk about how this feels scummy and how it'll ruin, or at least damage, our reputation.

I don't get that.  It might not look great for future coaches, but for the next hopefully long while, we don't have to worry about that.  If we can get $10m back, great.

Who it does help our reputation with, however, is the NCAA.  We're at a point now where the FBI is involved in NCAA violations, and there's going to be a lot of hell to pay for a lot of stuff,and the writing is on the wall that the NCAA is going to get even worse and really start cracking down on BS.  To have a reputation with them that's "we take the stuff seriously" I just don't have a problem with that.

I don't know if KO deserves the money or not.  I believe he should have been fired, and I'm not qualified to say what I think he does or does not deserve.  At the end of the day his contract had pretty clear terms.  If he violated those terms, see yah.  If he didn't, pay the man.

I'm not worried about the rest; about our reputation and how this makes us look.  This is getting coverage because it's baseball season.
