KO Making Progress

Extra credit: How does a guy with a 2021 join date show up as having more than 16k posts?

He has the same lawyer as KO but actually took the reduced buyout?

I've already shown you that this is not true. Why do you persist?

Because he was generally there. Year 1 and 2. He was there at home games and the practices I saw. True, he may have miss some due to medical, family or other conflicts. He did not stay the entire practice either but he certainly saw enough to know enough.

Your initial assertion was that UConn could have settled this for 10 cents on the dollar. It looks like you have now backed far away from that stance. Again, your position is built on very faulty logic.

Math seems easy. If his buyout is $11m ... then $1m is what?

What happens to this model when the kids have to pay the KO tax on their first NBA checks?

Chief wasn’t in the room but it was more like 25 cents on a dollar from what I heard.

So again I ask, is your assertion really that Ollie would have been okay with $1M but the University would not have? That’s what your argument rests on and it seems totally implausible and at odds with the rumors a couple of posters have brought up.

A generous offer that he should have jumped on?

If he said no to that, screw 'im.

That was then and now I think that money has long been off the table. I think it’s closer to zero now but never underestimate litigation costs. @CL8 was right the FOI’s card backfired. Additionally, why he did not try harder to settle before the NCAA hammer came down and the appeal of it - I don’t know other than he really made a poor assessment of the merits of the case. After those rulings he had little leverage and they already aired the dirty laundry card. The bottom line is he couldn’t coach UConn during that 3 year period even if UConn wanted him to.
Interesting question - how does the NCAA feel about a school paying a coach during a 3 year non coaching ban - kind of defeats, to some extent, the punitive purpose of the ban ?
