Has the gag order been lifted?

[gwhuskyfan]

True, I can't say for sure that didn't happen.

I guess the question will be if it would have been worth $10 mil to avoid the negative publicity & airing our dirty laundry once again. Will Benedict and Herbst be able to sleep well at night based on the actions they took? Will Ollie? We will probably never know the complete answers.

The way this plays out I think it really would have benefited UConn to reach an agreement with Ollie before all of this stuff had come out. If he wasn't willing to negotiate then there isn't much they could do I guess, but that doesn't let them off the hook in my opinion.

Disagree on the negative publicity -- to the outside they'll get worked up over it for a day. Like when Edsall didn't give a Diaco recruit the scholarship.

Support the boneyard!!

Here is the boneyard Amazon link to rat headgear to wear to ST Joe's games.





I bought one. I'll buy two more for people who commit to going to a St Joe's games with me.

I’m sending Miller a Cheese of the Month club membership.

 

[kansashusky]

I've never ratted on anyone. And I've been tested.

Have you?

Thank you for making my morning. Bless you for staying strong when you were tested, whatever that means.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

This whole thread is good >>

Very true, it seems clear UConn could not get corroboration on this allegation from Miller or else this would've been point number one in their list of infractions and it would've been game over for KO in this ordeal.

@whaler11

You, me, a handle of captains, St Joe's tickets, rat hats.
.
You in? I'm buying.


What could go wrong?

 

[Penfield]

It came out via FOIA request by the media? It was coming out sooner or later.

Right, and if UConn and Ollie had been able to come to an amicable agreement prior to this coming out the PR wouldn't be bad.

The people who know what that means understand it. I'm.not concerned with the ones that don't.

I will have so much respect for you, if you actually do this.

 

[superjohn]

Don't need a lap band I'm now 227 down from 28o or so

Congrats on being slightly less fat.

[Penfield]

Not sure what you mean letting UConn off the hook. For what?

Bad contract negotiations, bad PR, potentially self reporting violations for no other reason than to avoid a buyout. How long did they know about some of this stuff? It sounds like the NCAA might have started sniffing around last fall, but at the Husky Run Benedict assured us everything was on the up and up.

 

[husky429]

I will be at as many St Joe's games as my schedule allows riding Miller to the point that Calhoun will want to fight me too. And I'm ok with that at this point because he's harboring a rat.

Seems a little excessive.

I'll be at plenty of games to watch good basketball, though. If there's a good throwdown with you and Calhoun, I'll throw it up on Worldstar

 

[CL82]

Apparently not.

Not if Ollie decides to tell his side of the story. Who knows what he could say about the Calhoun era

Well I agree that KO's contract was a one sided nightmare, but for the NCAA violation language.

UConn self-reported in response the NCAA's instruction for all schools to self audit after the FBI NCAA investigation broke. Hard to find fault with that.

 

[August_West]

Thanks.

Congrats on being slightly more dumb

 

[August_West]

Yup.

This is gonna be fun. /Sarcasm

I guess - but the story sure did change after another terrible season...

I don’t think KO would do it.

 

[superjohn]

And of course the accompanying picture is Ollie in full Ollie cry face. Not at all going to miss that permanent expression.

 

[August_West]

I don’t think KO would do it.

Because he is better man than Glen Miller and by extension Jim Calhoun?


Yeah he probably is.

 

[JMick]

I don’t think KO would do it.

Lol

 

[CL82]

Oh he's significantly less fat. He essentially has lost a 4 grader.

 

[Penfield]

I don’t think KO would do it.

I hope not, but maybe he thinks Calhoun did him dirty.

 

[JMick]

I hope not, but maybe he thinks Calhoun did him dirty.

He has refused to take any responsibility for his actions and failures. It's everyone else's fault but his. I won't be surprised if he tries to stir things up whether he gets paid or not.
