Why is that what Cronin would want UCLA to say?

Because they would owe him $16mil if they fired him and whatever school hired him wouldn't have to pay a dime.

Cronin is pretty much unfirable as he is unhirable right now.

That isn’t really how contracts work. There is either a material breach of a contract term, in which case the contract is voided, or there isn’t. You don’t just say that you don’t like a contract term and try to use it to modify another portion of the contract.

I am not a lawyer but I’m pretty sure these contracts aren’t written/enforced in such a simple way that you can cry “loophole!!” since you’re in the B10 instead of the P12 and somehow materially change the agreement. Lol

Whole package.

Has won conference titles at 3 different schools in the last 10 years. 

He would murder it here.  Willing to look past his issues.  Like Sampson, it’s not even against the rules any longer

You're talking about a scenario in which Cronin quits and is in breach of the contract.

I’m not saying they would fire him, but Cronin doesn’t have any leverage to get more money or change the terms with UCLA. His options are either honor the current contract or find a new job.

That is correct. Now if UCLA didn’t pay him the agreed Pac12 bonus for winning a Big10 championship, he would absolutely have a justiciable claim.

Blind resume. Experience, won in major conferences, multiple S16's. Seems like a formidable candidate

I just got caught up while kids were taking a test and I don't understand a single picture/meme/gif that @Tony! Toni! Toné! posted referring to a specific candidate, but I like that other people do...

Giving me flashbacks to the Great Flood of 93 on the Mississippi.  I saw lots of levees like that.

Yes. And even then he couldn't unilaterally void the entire contract.

Seems like we’ve got three main categories here:

(1) good coaches who’d take the job but IU won’t hire

(2) good coaches who don’t want the job

(3) unproven or underwhelming coaches

If anything he's called his shot and is owning it here. Story/timeline hasn't changed. Might have hedged a 'little' by saying he's not an insider but other than that he's been consistent. 

100% will own it. If it's not Brad, will I be pretty shocked. Absolutely! Will I care about any negative backlash from the negative nancys who just want to be miserable and have something to complain about? Absolutely not. Will still continue to share anything I hear, and like all of us, will wish the new coach the best of luck. Buuuuuuuut, as I said on 2/21, the leaks would start occurring tomorrow. Sounds like I was a day off, should've said 9 business days haha

To be fair I thought what you were saying day 1 was a little outlandish and that's coming from a Brad believer lol
