I think that this dispute is in essense the AD wanting the coach to put the college's best interests over his and that is either shortsighted or idiotic. I say idiotic. Virtually every AD understands that in order to attract future coaches and even players they have to be willing to let them go if a better opportunity comes up. If the coach were to get the Jets job BC would be off the hook for his contract money. If the President of BC were to get offered the Harvard position, think he stays? Couldnt you say that the players who play for the college "owe" it to the college to play for them for four years too?
