Fitz Suing NU Trial

After Fitz lawsuit is done...schill is gone and done at nu. He'll probably be a prof or assistant dean provost bullcrap position at some liberal arts College. But He'll have zero connection to nu other than the scars he left behind
From your lips to Allah/Yahweh/Jehovah/Gnash ears. Schill will surpass Rick Taylor and Kevin O’Neill as the worst hires in NU history.
 
Good point but I’m putting Schill at the top because his decision ruined a relationship with the school’s best most recognizable ambassador and will cost the school tens, potentially hundreds, of millions. Just epically bad.
Wasn't he the head of the University of Chicago's law school???
 
I am sure he'll make a very credible witness in the Fitz trial! NU should just settle now and be done with this train wreck. I wonder if Schill is wondering to himself how in the world he could have been so dumb to give any credence to what this kid said.
Bet he will be found quite credible. Can’t tell a lie.
 
[REDACTED]

I think they’ll settle for something close to Fritz’s original contract value. The contract just looks like this wasn’t covered under ‘for cause’. I doubt we’ll ever know the number.

The issues are that (1) NU didn’t follow their contractual protocol and (2) the contract had some particular provisions basically indexing Fitz’s compensation to the B1G market vs a stated dollar amount. It’s not as simple as “we would have paid you $X over the rest of your deal, will you take $Y just to make this all go away?” because the parties probably can’t even agree on $X.
