The NCAA also states that Ollie lied when denying he knew of impermissable workouts given to multiple UConn players, both on campus and in Atlanta, by Derek Hamilton, a personal friend.[/I] [I]The news was first reported by ESPN on Friday night.[/I] [I]Ollie was charged with multiple violations — providing unfair recruiting benefits, exceeding limits on recruiting hours, failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance, failing to monitor players' outside workouts — that all fall under a coaching responsibility violation.[/I] [I]Ollie was fired with “just cause” on March 10 after six seasons. UConn has determined that Ollie violated multiple NCAA rules and failed to promote a culture of compliance, and the sides are now battling over the more than $10 million remaining on his contract. That is due to go to arbitration unless a resolution through negotiation can be reached.[/I] [I]UConn’s case appeared to become a lot stronger now, however, with the NCAA’s notice of allegations. The program isn’t out of the woods in terms of receiving any sort of punishment from the NCAA, though that wouldn’t figure to be a particularly strict penalty.[/I] [/QUOTE]
