Court: O'Brien due $2.5 million
OSU 'bargained away' right to fire coach, it rules
Friday, September 21, 2007 3:28 AM
By Jim Woods
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Ohio State University owes fired basketball coach Jim O'Brien nearly $2.5 million, an appeals court ruled yesterday.
The Franklin County Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 ruling, upheld an Ohio Court of Claims decision that O'Brien should get nearly three years of salary. Judges Gary Tyack and Donna Bowman ruled in O'Brien's favor; Judge Judith L. French dissented.
The appeals court, though, rejected O'Brien's counter-appeal, which argued that he was entitled to an additional $1.3 million, the equivalent of two more years worth of pay.

OSU gets support in its appeal of O'Brien ruling
Breaking NCAA rules is grounds for firing, say colleges, athletic conferences
Saturday, November 10, 2007 3:33 AM
By James Nash
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
A roster of Ohio State University's traditional athletic rivals has joined the university in urging the Ohio Supreme Court to throw out a $2.5 million award to fired basketball coach Jim O'Brien.
The University of Michigan, the University of Minnesota and 21 more universities and athletic conferences filed a friend-of-the-court brief this week asking the state's highest court to overturn an appeals-court ruling in O'Brien's favor.

O'Brien, NCAA turn page on matter of ex-coach paying recruit
By Andy Katz

(Archive)
Updated: January 31, 2008
Former Ohio State coach Jim O'Brien has become a viable candidate to return to a sideline after Thursday's announcement that his show-cause penalty was dropped by the NCAA.
The NCAA appeals committee granted O'Brien the opportunity to resume his career, revoking the NCAA infraction committee's show-cause penalty that was set to expire in May 2009. It was originally set to expire in March 2011, but was reduced by the NCAA last May.
A show-cause penalty doesn't prevent a school from hiring a coach but it means that if it does, the school must then appear in front of the committee on infractions and see if further sanctions should be imposed on their new hire.

This (O'Brien lawsuit & NCAA sanctions) is turning out to be the "never ending story".

O'Brien can return to coaching in March One year knocked off punishment
Published on Friday, Feb 01, 2008
From Beacon Journal wire services
Jim O'Brien, fired by Ohio State and essentially banned from coaching by the NCAA for paying a recruit, can return to the college sidelines after an appeal changed his punishment.
An NCAA ruling on March 10, 2006, all but prevented any colleges from hiring O'Brien until May 2009.
