UConn Insider Podcast: How The Fracture Of Kevin Ollie And His Alma Mater Became A Full-Fledged Feud

What a spin.

For what it's worth, while the amateur lawyers are cutting and pasting pdfs from Ollie's contract to try to explain the university's technical justification for the stance they've taken, Vitale is in the majority with respect to the prevailing narrative around this story outside of the UConn bubble.

The people outside the UCONN bubble want UCONN to continue to suck! Ollie should have resigned when the players he recruited walked out on him. At that point it was time for him to go.

What a spin.

For what it's worth, while the amateur lawyers are cutting and pasting pdfs from Ollie's contract to try to explain the university's technical justification for the stance they've taken, Vitale is in the majority with respect to the prevailing narrative around this story outside of the UConn bubble.

Good grief. Vitale has about as much objective credibility as a member of Ollie's immediate family, or the immediate family of any other coach in America that gets fired.

So, just because a bunch of talking head media folks think Ollie is getting screwed, is UConn supposed to capitulate and pay Ollie the whole buyout? Keep in mind that negative press sells because it's controversial. It's also usually full of a lot of misinformed or flat out incorrect nonsense, a la Vitale.

Let me rephrase. No one of any significance gives a crap about it.

Your other statement was more accurate.

Why am I seeing JGilberts ads on the BY KO thread when KO goes to Capital Grille?

 

[David 76]

To the casual observer outside our bubble, it does look like Ollie's getting screwed.
But the casual observer thinks it is all about Ollie getting Ray to talk to a recruit. The casual observer also does not have to pay the $10 million.

To me the whole thing is whether the arbiter reads the contract and takes "any NCAA violation" literally or if they decide it has to be a more serious violation.
