I'd say the attempt to overlay heroic or scumminess on this is a mistake. It is simply following the agreement of the parties as memorialized in writing.
Exactly, take emotions out of it. Win games and don't breach your contract by breaking the rules and he would have gotten the money.
You really are an incredible narcissist. I made the post a couple of days ago in relation to what was posted by others and here you are today only quoting a portion of my post, it's why I said you are playing dumb. I never quoted you or claimed you said it so you can stop being a dishonest hack.
Depends. Is he ratting out Michael or Fredo? Fredo deserves it.
Oh really?
We are not talking about working class people and collecting unemployment. I am assuming Ollie is not worried about where his next meal comes from. If he has spent all his money like a fool, well too bad. I really find the whole thing ridiculous. Rich guy arguing over 10 million!! I know there is all this contractual drama, I know nothing about that world and don't care. I have always been on my own. But come on. Ten million?! For failing miserably to deliver? He should tell Uconn, give me the two million to pay the old lady, and then disappear.
I'm saying it in reference to my original post you half quoted. I hope this is just a "playing dumb" game for your sake. This is the last time I'm explaining it to you. At least one person has said we can't afford $10 mil. while also saying 10 mil is chump change. You posted only part of my post which I considered "playing dumb." Now you tell me to come up with the quote where you said it and called me a liar. I never said you said it in the first place. Again you made this all about yourself when it was never about you in the first place.Oh really?
You replied to my post directly stating that. No disclaimer on it being anyone else saying that. It is direct and reads like it does to me to 99.9% of the literate population.
You hit the nail on the head. Forced on the university. What the hell was JC thinking? Because he was an over achieving player and supposedly such a wonderful guy are not qualifacations to be head coach at one of the nations top programs.
Come on. He was fired because he stinks at coaching. He isn't getting $10 million dollars because he breached his contract by cheating.
Not the right question. Do you think he would have been fired if there wasn't just cause? I don't. Said differently but for the fact that Ollie breached his contract and thus terminating the payment provisions, UConn would not have fired him.
Most of us agree but his statement may not be totally incorrect. If they didn't have cause, they would have had to pay him if they fired him. He deserved to be fired AND HE DOESN'T DESERVE THE FULL BUYOUT but they may not have done it unless they knew they could avoid the full buyout. It comes down to the opportunity cost. If it was less than 10mill, they might have kept him until they got to a point where they could have bought him out. Ollie shot himself in the foot and gave them the ability to avoid the full buyout. And that is OK because he doesn't deserve it ethically or contractually.
I see what you're saying but he was gone no matter what, IMO. They would be idiots to pay him though, it blows my mind some on the board want them to.
