I am being vague on purpose; I don't want to crap on Calhoun but Miller worked for both of them and turned choirboy on one.  I don't like sanctimony, especially when coupled with double-standards.

Ollie has no one to blame but himself.  Fishy is right:  he half-assed his job and half-assed some NCAA compliance issues.  And yes, his contract is different than Calhoun's.  I'm not happy that he put us in this position.

I just hate the karma of this.  I hate the optics.  I hate everything about it because it's my school and no one--[I]no one[/I]--comes out of this looking good.  The Miller testimony makes me queasy, but the school used him for the specific purpose to get out of the $10M. He had his reasons and the admin had theirs.  And Calhoun is uncomfortably a part of all of it.

I'm really just sick about it.  I know it's stupid, but a lot of life is about distraction and for most of my adult years UConn hoops has been a very happy distraction for me, in good times and in bad. I was ready to move on and looking forward to the Hurley era, and now this is going to be mentioned in every single broadcast for at least the next season.  And I hate that Hurley is going to have to field questions about it, too.

If the Mets were doing better I might be a little less down about it, but right now I hate it all.
