How would UConn be setting themselves up for probation by not paying Ollie? Me confuse. If he committed violations that require program probation, it will happen whether we hand him the $10mm or not (which makes not handing him the full $10mm even more important if he is responsible for hurting the program).

Anyway, Hurley knows that any program penalty should be negligible as these violations were small potatoes. Recruiting should not be impacted.

Didn't UConn bring up Ollie's violations?

Yeah...that's what they are using to fire him with cause. But the violations are really not something you should be firing a coach over. This is obviously over the money. They can't afford to fire him and they are concerned that he will damage the brand and reputation of the program even more. So they are playing him dirty.
