UConn asks federal court to dismiss Kevin Ollie's complaint

[huskymedic]

Two things come to mind, past practice and unequal treatment. I'm sure these arguments will be presented.

A singular action is not a past practice. Past practices in unionized labor situations have to have been in place for a reasonably long time and occur repeatedly. Using past practice for a JC vs KO treatment would very likely be flicked aside.

Ah how would I know anything about you except what you post? All I know is you were difficult over there and had such a grudge against the mod there that you used his name for your handle here but added sucks. It's just a little weird, you know?

But it occurs to me that I've been sucked into a half dozen posts about you feeding your self- obsession. I'm out, but you have a good night

Instead of trying to justify your stupid behavior, try manning up and admit you were incorrect and then apologize. As usual you make assumptions but rather than own and stand corrected, you double down. It's just a little weird, you know.

I think it's about time for you to stand down. Based on your name, it's obvious you had issues on another site. And your cherry picking about the Ray Allen call instead of addressing the more serious and well documented accusations makes your agenda suspect.

KO’s lawsuit is going down in flames. I suspect it was a last ditch attempt to get UConn to offer him something to make it go away. Either his lawyers absolutely suck or he is a terrible client ignoring their advice. I don’t know which.

For all the whiners who complain about disparate treatment between JC and Ollie, are you aware that disparate treatment is perfectly ok? It’s absolutely fine to treat employees differently unless you do it for an impermissible reason. That’s why there is racism claim here, that’s an impermissible reason. On the other hand, UConn can legally say we looked past JCs issues because he was a hall of fame caliber coach and we didn’t look past Ollie’s because his performance sucked. That is perfectly fine. It’s also a fantastic defense to his absurd racism claim.

“On the other hand, UConn can legally say we looked past JCs issues because he was a hall of fame caliber coach and we didn’t look past Ollie’s because his performance sucked. That is perfectly fine.”

LOL. Are you a lawyer?

He is actually.

Except I was never banned from one. Convenient.

Apparently you know more than I do. So it was a singular action then for Jim.

The whole “JC’s issues” thing makes me chuckle ... no rampant cheating and no one died under his watch. He worked his arse off in a competitive environment and may have bruised some egos along the way. As a result, he got his hand slapped by an organization that was lead by a clown looking to punish. KO’s story is completely different, no comparison. KO almost butchered the Golden Goose and his contract terms allowed the university to act before dinner was served. Period.
