[QUOTE="steeleer, post: 129430358, member: 1484359"] Don't you think that would be more than a little [I]implied[/I] by this point? What would Dana do at that point? Sue while still working at WVU? Unlikely. Quit and then sue? Possibly. It would be up to a judge to decide if his claim would have merit. There is nothing inherent in his contract that would say it would have merit, but that never stops people from suing. The worst case for WVU? Pay what they would have to have paid per the contract anyhow. By definition there would be no financial damages to collect since he could stay and get his full contractual salary. Pain and suffering? Hard one to pull off in a WV court where the average citizen makes less in a lifetime than Dana makes in 6 months. Lost future income? Only if Dana showed that he was no longer getting calls for HC positions. The current coaching carousel would make that a steep hill to climb in court. Most likely outcome?
