KO is in deep trouble if there is any violation.  Section 10.1(d) of his contract specifically states "just cause" means violation of NCAA rules by him or anyone under his supervision. It also has no requirement that the NCAA make a determination that a violation occurred.

His contract incorporates the arbitration procedures of Article 13 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement which calls for binding arbitration.  The arbitration provision is very particular that the arbiter may not add or remove terms and must stay within the bounds of the contract terms.  Unfortunately, there is a internal reference defect when incorporating Article 13 into the KO contract.  Article 13 references itself "this agreement" - which creates a legal opening whether the arbiter is bound to stay with the the terms of the KO contract.  KO will argue the arbiter isn't bound and consider general equities, while the university will argue "no" follow the structures of the contract. Overall, though KO is on very thin ice.
