Message: [QUOTE="fatlucy, post: 2627859, member: 6189"] Because its a two way street. If UCONN risks looking bad by terminating him per the terms of the contract, he also runs the risk of potential employers (let alone fans) thinking he's only in the game for the money and not the results. His whole persona is "ten toes in", "loyalty", "dedication", "doing the right thing" but if he uses the terms of the contract to try to take money for torpedoing the program b/c its a guaranteed contract it will make him look like his ten toes are only in his employers wallet. I don't think he thinks this way and its his option to do what he needs to do but there are consequences to every decision he makes. If he's willing to negotiate a reasonable settlement he'll be viewed as a reasonable guy. Its actually different for the University b/c they have a fiduciary responsibility to the State of Connecticut and have to responsibly manage our money. [/QUOTE]
