[Husker] Callahan Resignation statement in doubt

[andy at knipp.com]

Could you ? Possibly. It would end up in court. When Skippy was fired 
from UW for the bball pool, there was a lawsuit. They tried to fire him 
for cause. I do not remember who won what. 

But the bigger point (IMHO) is that would be a very unethical thing to 
do. I am not a fan of BC and want him gone. I never wanted him hired. 
But to manufacture a situation to get rid of him to not pay a buyout 
that NU (stupidly) signed would be a huge mistake.

Like it or not SP had the authority to sign the contract extension and 
it was signed. NU is obligated to pay the buyout andy should.
