So, just let the man get away with his shoddy management and pretty much =
sweep it under the rug for the all mighty dollar?

I find this so wrong and sickening. Shame on them!

  Rose,
       My understanding is that the main reason is money.
      The CU apparently examined the legal situation and didn't believe =
it had a good enough case to fire the coach "for cause" without =
litigation they might lose. Since Barnett had several years left on a =
pricey salary and benefit package, that's what it would have taken for =
the Univ. to get out from under that contract.=20
     =20
      Honoring this coach's contract, if they canned him, while at the =
same time hiring and paying another coach handsomely just wasn't =
affordable. The public universities in Colorado are undergoing financial =
strains at least as serious as the UI's.=20
       TL
