They offered KO a buyout and he turned it down because he wanted more. Come on man, this isn't hard

UConn has @$385M in cash or cash equivalents, so it certainly had the ability to pay Kevin. It didn't because Kevin had breached his contract by cheating and by lying about it to his employers which triggers a termination of his contract. If KO hadn't cheated or hadn't lied about it, he would likely have been terminated and paid the remainder of his contract. Paying someone millions who had no lawful claim to that money would at best be malfeasance and might be well criminal. There is one person who is responsible for the chain of events that led to Kevin's discharge for cause. That is Kevin.

Ollie could've been fired YEARS earlier than he was?! Two years before he was fired he made the 2nd round of the NCAAs, and two years prior to that he won a national championship. When exactly would you have fired him?

Sorry but your last couple of posts reveal you have no clue about any of the inner working of UConn basketball. The idea that Glen Miller thought Calhoun would name him his successor is so far from reality it's laughable. You are putting all this dysfunction on Glen Miller and every other place besides Ollie. The idea that three of our future starters and our top recruit left because of Glen Miller is batstuff crazy and the relationship between KO and Calhoun soured because after KO won it all he had no use for Calhoun anymore.

How can you speculate all of these things if you do not know either party involved.

The same poster also claimed in one of his earlier posts that Ollie is "fighting to save his marriage and to repair his damaged relationship with Calhoun", all without the benefit of knowing Ollie personally. Lots of unsubstantiated suppositions here.

As far as the law is concerned, the marriage is over. Also, the relationship with Calhoun is over, and sadly for Ollie, his collegiate coaching career is likely over.

Actually I think they did leave because of GM....GM getting fired.

What is the basis of the claim? Describe the complaint. Kevin Ollie seeks damages because....? Because the NCAA relied on evidence from a guy who may have said something else that they didn’t rely upon, which was untrue? That’s not a tort as far as I know. Oh and they relied upon other information that didn’t come from Miller at all. Most of which we know to be true. And Ollie’s damages, such as they are, come from being fired, which again was based on violations that did happen and which are corroborated by more than Miller.

It’s silly to even suggest that he could sue the NCAA for investigating things they are supposed to investigate and issuing findings as to who it thinks violated rules it wrote. Unless you or he thinks that the NCAA itself made all this up, and fabricated everything with the intent to cause harm to KO. Is that the claim?

Seems like Tark the Shark sued the NCAA for: "things" they are supposed to investigate and issuing findings as to who it thinks violated rules it wrote; and it turned out ok for him. The NCAA is run by a clown and to think for some reason he doesn't surround himself with clowns would be a mistake. At the 1st sign of someone coming at them with guns blazing and nothing to lose the NCAA will fold. Ollie isn't UConn who has already seen what happens when the powers that be in the NCAA have it "in" for you; sure would like to see Ollie disposing NCAA characters on all the "dialogue" they had with various people related to Ollie and UConn related to these potential infractions. When did UConn discuss potential violations with the NCAA vs. with Ollie, when did UConn 1st discuss firing Ollie for cause and what type of discussions were had with Ollie before the firing discussion.

A "nothing to lose" Ollie with a legal team that's willing to take it to the max is not a group I'd want to fight with if I were the NCAA or UConn.

LOL...so far Ollie's legal representation has been a total clown show. I seriously doubt that either UCONN or the NCAA are quaking in their boots at anything the Ollie legal team attempts to do. Their track record to this point is an embarrassingly epic fail on all fronts. They are going to lose at arbitration and in the courts, assuming they bother with any more of it after getting poured out at arbitration.
