Kevin Ollie is gone

UConn has fired Kevin Ollie for cause, meaning that they won't have to pay out the contractually required remainder of his contract. They didn't waste any time, and they have initiated the disciplinary procedures necessary to fire with just cause.

Wow. It must be tough to break with one of your own... and to do it that way (using just cause) must be even more difficult.

I was watching the 4 letter network. They said it would be wise to go back to their roots and get into the Big East.

So the question is...does the big east consider even toying with the idea of taking them in? What if there are some sanctions in place like scholarships or tourney eligibility for a year or two? Also, is that coaching position even highly coveted like it once was? I say no. They made their bed now they need to lay in it. They also got to enjoy those millions the past few years after the Big East divorce settlement.

Not until something changes. Football stops pretending they're relevant, we get otherwise forced to go to a 20 game conference season, or Dayton fans stop being, well, themselves.

I don't have time to look, but who does the boneyard think they'll get as a coach? Are they deluding themselves in any amusing way?

Most of them think Hurley from URI is a foregone conclusion.
