Yes.
I don't know the details but basically at a high level this is what's happening:
- Ollie's contract had a $10M buyout if he was fired; however, if he was fired for just cause (aka NCAA violations), UConn wouldn't have to pay him anything
- Ollie was fired for poor performance, but when UConn fired them they listed violations as the reason for the firing
- Ollie denied the allegations and the 2 ended up in court
- I believe UConn tried to settle and offer an amount smaller than the $10M but Ollie said no
- Meanwhile, with a possible $10M bill looming over their head, UConn still pays Hurley. Which tells you have much faith they had that Ollie wouldn't be getting a cent of his money. And the fact that Hurley took the job shows that UConn wasn't worried about any serious NCAA violations against the university.
- This report comes yesterday which clearly indicated Ollie did commit violations and that (as of now) it appears UConn is clear of any wrongdoing
- It seems that UConn will not have to pay anything to Ollie anymore. However, it is still not good to have your name on ESPN like this. Ollie was still in charge of the program and committed the violation while on staff so I'd have to imagine something (even minuscule) could still happen to UConn
