It’s absolutely possible information will turn up to directly implicate Ollie and void his buyout clause. But does anyone really believe that UConn would be dumping Ollie if he had parlayed that national championship into multiple NCAA tournament runs rather than slipping to mediocrity in the AAC? And if his alleged conduct in the NCAA case was so egregious to merit a firing with cause, why was there no “disciplinary procedure” the moment NCAA investigators started asking questions rather than 40 hours after a lifeless, season-ending loss to SMU?"
