The BoT was certainly involved in this as well. A lot of people who know what their doing determined that Brannen can and should be fired with cause.

UC admin has been quiet, they've said as little as possible. They were investigating him well before the season ended, there has been plenty of time for them. They never tried to dirty the waters. To me this indicates they found something that justifies a for cause firing.

Brannen has been trying his best to muddy the waters. Frivolous lawsuits, Tom Mars on twitter, Brannen's wife on twitter, the Luke text release. I feel like Brannen knows UC has something on him and is trying to make this as ugly as possible in order for UC to give him a significant chunk of go away money. At some point Brannen decided he know longer cares about UC and is going to do his best to burn it down on his way out.

We disagree on here a lot but I keep coming back to the bolded in my evaluation as well. Maybe we'll be proven wrong but uc has handled this like they are confident in what they have. I don't think they make the move if they are not. Mars and Brannen have acted increasingly desperate throwing crap against the wall in public. I don't think they're fond of their case so they're trying to use public anger to fuel a beneficial settlement.
