I read that statement about high praise. The exact nature of that praise and date when that evaluation was given was noticeably absent from the statement. If that was given prior to the student athletes elevating their concerns to the AD, for example, it doesn't really bear any weight anymore.

The AD is silent. The technicalities being spewed from Brannen's side aren't really all that much more definitive.

We shall see... Or maybe we won't.

UC [privately]: Mistreated/mismanaged players. Violated university/NCAA COVID protocols.

looks like the USA should pay heed to Israel with dealing with the young people after graduating High school. ALL people ages 18-20 automatically be placed in their armed forces and after 2 years, they can leave and attend college, get a job, etc. We wouldn't have had any of those that left complain about being yelled at and having to do things on their own sometimes to get better. Hence, we see why UC collapsed after Scott and Cumberlands left. Most young people today are told what to do by their moms. Looks like the case with Tari Eason.

Could that even escalate the damages?

Don't know. But I would think he has good standing to get the full buyout amount unless the AD has something that is way more than what we are see right now.

This process is an absolute disgrace to my beloved alma matre. An absolute disgrace.

I usually side with management - but not now.

I hope Brannen cleans my beloved alma matre’s clock.

Basement dwelling posters are ignorant of how corporate management is supposed to work.

But then sports chat boards are full of individuals not yet exposed to the real world. This entire foolery is classic poor management.

Unless you both permanently reside in the basement then, no, you don't count toward that statistic. At least that's my take. LOL.

Me! Me! I count!

Three years ago, my parents' basement was my permanent address for about 3 months when we were moving back to the Midwest and hadn't bought a house yet.

I've also lived there for at least 1 month in every summer for the past 6 years.

The reason is simple: they have a pool, I have 3 little kids who love to swim, and I love the free babysitting.

He's right.

I live among the leaky pipes and concrete blocks. I spend my days biting at thin air and throwing plastic forks at my John Brannen dart board.

And I have no idea how corporate management works.

This board of basement dwellers is inhabited by architects, designers, engineers, fund managers, doctors, lawyers, etc. How dare you paint us with that ignorant broad brush!

No one here has a complete truthful accounting of both sides. We are all parsing words and reading tea leaves. Take a side if you want but unless you are Brannen or Cunningham even you don't know what went on. If you are a friend of Brannen you got his side. There are always two sides.

I always think there are 3 side to every story. Brannen side, Cunningham side, and the truth. Each of their sides will have a little bit of the truth according to them. There was some show back in the day that did a recount of some accident or incident from both side then showed it from the real version.

Organizations are a lot flatter than they used to be. In one job, I had 6 or 7 bosses and sometimes I would go a full week without seeing the person whom I was a direct report to.

Would they refuse to talk to you for a month? Honest question: Do you know of any other major program where the Head Basketball Coach reports to the CFO with no background in athletics?

Still wondering who Luke reports to and why. Anybody know?

Nobody is saying Brannen can't or couldn't be fired. But that doesn't absolve the school from complying with their contract to pay $5.25M for doing so.

To all the VERY sick basement dweller haters...

I was wondering who Cunningham reports to. Straight to Pinto? Or an associate professor in the English department?
