UConn terminates Ollie
Late Saturday UConn announced that Kevin Ollie has been terminated "for just cause"....in connection with the ongoing NCAA investigation. The University said it would not comment further until its own "disciplinary" investigation and the NCAA investigation are complete. That will take a long time; for sure the media will dig up details before that.
Ollie would be owed $10 million if fired...and the UConn athletics department is in dire financial straights. "Fired for cause" I presume means UConn does not owe Ollie any money.
More later.

Hurley being mentioned most often...also Crean and Matta. Feeling is that UConn needs a "splash" hire,...a big name. UConn is a top-tier destination job, pay is about $3 million, new $45 million basketball facility on campus is beyond belief.
