I'm not sure this is a good thing or not. It seems to me it might set a precedent that a University can not fire a coach who violates NCAA rule.
I really do not understand the judge's ruling on this case. I am sure OSU will appeal. Now I wonder what effect, if any, that this decision will have on the current NCAA hearings, that are to be revealed within the next few weeks. Don
:? Look for us to take it in the shorts from both sides. We will be penalized for his violations, and penalized for firing him when we found out about them. stu
Jack, If your statement is true, shame on us and maybe Geiger (AD) and Karen Holbrook, our President, simply panicked. Now it appears the university is going to be held accountable wirth a gun to our head. Don
That's my take on this thing Jack....the University's attorneys let this one slip away. Look for all future coaching contracts to be modified appropriately.....geez, lets move on. Terry
That is a bad provision, hell it means that a coach could be handing out packets of 100$ bills and until the NCAA rules on it you can't fire him. We all know how fast the NCAA moves, a coach could go on for quite awhile. Terry
And staying on that contractual theme, that's coach's University would have a tough time trying to beat an NCAA charge of "lack of institutional control" when they agreed to a contractural provision preventing them from having control.
