Several posters in this thread are suggesting that Ollie's attorneys make the following argument:
"Sure, there might be "just cause" within the letter of the contract, but that's really just a cover for firing him - they obviously fired him because he was a terrible coach."

This translates into the following Legal Argument:

[I][B]Plaintiff cannot assert a breach of contract/termination claim against Defendant for a literal, provable breach of provision X of the employment contract if there is evidence supporting the conclusion that Plaintiff was motivated to terminate Defendant for behavior that did not constitute a breach of contract.[/B][/I]

Oh boy.

I've been doing this long enough to smell a dog 5hit case from a lengthy distance.  That one reeks.

Also, the thought that, "UConn could lose if it is shown that the Admin hasn't applied such-and-such uniformly," is a losing argument.  The breach is based on Ollie's contract, and defense would have a heck of time proving that failure-to-terminate other employees who aren't the highest paid, most visible employee in state somehow should guide the court.

Ollie is screwed eight ways to Sunday, and I think that's just grand.
