It’s one thing to make bad coaching hires and be out of touch with modern athletics. It’s a whole different issues to not protect the well-being of student athletes, or worse, enable someone to harm them.

We can neither confirm or deny we’ve made a horrible mistake extending our bozo the clown of an AD. Go Bears!

Does Knowlton's contract differentiate between being fired with cause and without cause? Because this seems like a "with cause" scenario.

A with cause scenario would include violations of University policies and procedures. A violation of the law would also be with cause, but I'm not sure anyone has insinuated that possibility.

If Knowlton can be shown to have violated or disregarded University policies he could be terminated with cause. He might be well advised to resign or retire well in advance of that prospect playing out, *IF* indeed it is a strong possibility.

Poor performance would, presumably, be without cause.
