Message: [QUOTE="crewbear742, post: 2626744, member: 7435"] The rationalizations and obfuscations on this thread are pretty impressive: 1. It was his legal team's fault. 2. Wouldn't his poor performance technically count as just cause? 3. He was coaching so badly, he was just stealing his check anyways. 4. UConn is just following the contract to the letter and protecting its interests. 5. He didn't accept a buyout. 6. It's a game of chicken between the two sides. 7. UConn is saving taxpayer money. What all of these excuses have in common is that they tacitly admit this is all about money. It's a prima facie case. Is there one person on this board who believes the Kevin Ollie would have been fired is he had won 25 games and was currently in the NCAA Tournament? Can you say that and keep a straight face? Because if you can't, you are explicitly admitting that UConn doesn't care a tinker's dam about these alleged ethical violations. You are admitting that you know this is all about $10 million. Yes, ethics are really important. Especially when they can be used as leverage in a dispute over 10 million precious dollars the university hopes to spend in the next coach. [/QUOTE]
