Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 3096130, member: 56"] There is no 'whistleblower'. I said the situation is not completely analogous. Twice. The concept is that, future employers look warily at employees who went after their old employers, even if completely justified in doing so. You seem to think future employers care about right and wrong. They don't. They care about PR and possible future exposure. In reality, a whistle blower should be given a medal, but future employers don't look at it that way. Personally, I would have done everything in my power to settle, but that's neither here nor there. I would care about future income. But I'm pragmatic. This has nothing to do with what I think about Ollie or fighting for contractual rights. I think everyone would expect Ollie to fight in some regard, but only in a certain manner. You haven't removed your personal feelings at all when considering future employment. Again, anyone who's gone against their company, in some of the ways that Ollie has, is going to 'untouchable' in a fashion. For example, fighting this battle through the media (ESPN) in the hopes of swaying public sentiment and thereby to put pressure on UCONN. No future employer would want that were they ever to fire said employee. If Ollie's side had a better card to play, they would have played it. Most of their tactics smell of desperation at this point. [/QUOTE]
