Anyone who doesn’t think Calhoun signed off on what Miller told the NCAA... i’m not even sure I can concoct an analogy to describe how ridiculous that is.

So you think Calhoun reviewed specific testimony with Miller ahead of time? Really? Because I think that is extraordinarily unlikely.

Now I can see an exchange, where Miller asked Calhoun what to do, and JC said "tell the truth." But the notion of Calhoun and Miller plotting about what GM should say to take down Ollie is bizarre.

Calhoun being employed by St Joe’s and UConn is ethically questionable to being with.

Of course he and Benedict knew what Miller was going to say. The school’s entire strategy is to leverage minor violations into ducking the buyout. If Benedict didn’t know what Miller was going to say to the NCAA then he’s even more inept than I could have ever suspected. Do you believe the leak the night of the UCF win didn’t come from the AD?

It’s the NCAA, not the Southern District of NY. There isn’t any reason to not know.

Miller knows he was unemployable by anyone other than Calhoun once he went rat - it was in Miller’s best interest as well to have Calhoun know exactly what he was going to say.

It’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s how people work together. Do you guys have jobs?

Nope, it's a conspiracy theory replete with a timeline that doesn't work.

You appear to be saying that Calhoun, as part of a conspiracy with Miller and Benedict, dropped his full time gig as as a consultant with UConn to take a full time gig as a DIII coach so that he could hire Miller as payoff for Miller giving testimony so that UConn could fire Ollie on a for cause basis. It all makes perfect sense!

Alternatively, maybe the NCAA made a request of everyone on the UConn coaching staff during the periods it was investigating to come in for an interview, including recently fired Miller.

I think I'll go with Occam's Razor answer.

Not what I’m saying at all, which is par for the course when dealing with you.

Calhoun didn’t sever ties with UConn.

If you have to believe absurd things in order to lie to yourself for some reason I can’t even understand - knock yourself out... but if you think Miller acted alone and it just happened to work out perfectly for Benedict and Miller took a chance Calhoun would be fine with it.. yikes, grown up Peter Pan.

I don't understand how you can claim this is what happened while also claiming that no one in the athletic department knows what they're doing.

Yeah I’m givng Benedict some credit for being opportunistic.

You’d think those applying situational ethics on this topic would be happy for a rare win for that guy.

Or it could be that Miller who works for Calhoun who works for Benedict didn’t work together when they had a clear reason to do so. Yet, in the end it worked out exactly how all three wanted. And what’s the benefit of believing this fantasy?

I think I saw Benedict and Calhoun on the grassy knoll signaling to Miller while he was interviewed!

Who works for Herbst (aka SuzyLax) so she was likely "in on it too." Am I right?

Sorry Whaler it just doesn't make any sense, at all.

When I have CL82 telling me I’m wrong and clowns like you attacking me it hardly is a reason to change my mind.

Yes all these people have goals in allignment and they all work together... but they have never so much as discussed the situation.

Benedict has $10 million on the line - I’m sure it never even crossed his mind to find out what Miller was going to tell the NCAA. The leak 90 minutes after the UCF game was magic.

Hilarious.

I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm saying you haven't articulated anything that makes sense.

Oh and FYI, Glenn didn't work with (or for) Benedict when he was interviewed.

Timeline issues. The bane of the conspiracy theorist.

Can you explain to me why people get so upset at the idea the three of them communicated.

If you wanted Ollie gone and didn’t want to pay him and don’t mind using a rat if the ends justify the means - why are they besides themselves at the concept they worked together.

It would be bizarre if they didn’t. In the real world this is all people do everyday.

If you think this is bad, try talking with some Saints fans about Sunday's game. They believe the NFL conspired against them because they wanted the Rams to win.

Higher TV ratings with the LA market. Have to admit it crossed my mind.
 
It wasn’t in UConn’s interest to have a bitter Miller throwing out stories about recruiting payoffs.
Having said that, it’s possible a bitter and revengeful Miller outlived his usefulness and had to be reeled in by Calhoun. GM needed to be ejected from Storrs where the reminders of what was were just too compelling for GM to move on from. I don’t honestly know?
I do think Calhoun is ridiculously overselling GM by calling him the second best X and O coach in America. Only the head coach at Michigan is better per Calhoun. If true, It’s amazing that during the last two years no one has gotten beyond the rat odor and hired the second best X and O guy in the nation.

Chief, I love ya' dude, but Ollie spurned Calhoun, the man who made him. Not surprising that certain birds came home to roost immediately afterwards. If KO didn't think snubbing JC was going to cost him, he seriously miscalculated (to the tune of $10M)...

Spurned? Really?

If you are saying that Ollie didn't take advantage of Calhoun's incredible knowledge and experience and as a result made costly mistakes, I'll agree. If you are saying that Calhoun got butthurt because Ollie didn't want him at practices so he arranged for Ollie to be fired for cause, you are insane.

I am certainly not saying anything was "arranged"... rather that the UConn family suddenly found itself in a house divided... I'm not a big fan of conspiracies. I think instead that instead of the coaches (all the coaches) and the team working together and trusting one another, we found ourselves in a place where personal motivations outweighed team and UConn family obligations. Take that as you will.
