Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 2759118, member: 44"] Don't kid yourself, college basketball is big business. Regardless, people may overlook flaws of successful people. It's a cost benefit analysis, right? But Ollie already hurt his value, with back to back losing seasons, kids transferring en masse and NCAA violations. He's already a question mark. Being a question mark who made a mess on the way out isn't an attractive option to most employers. It's fair point that neither you nor I know what, if anything was offered by each side but you are missing the larger point. If Ollie's implicit negotiation strategy is if you don't pay me what I want than I'll drag the school and it's beloved Hall of Fame icons through the mud, and that is what it appears to be, that loses value every day he drags them through the mud. You can only play your Trump card once. [/QUOTE]
