Note the Memorandum that has become know as the "secret contract".

Sportslawtalk also finds the original graphic on the homepage at SSH's sophisticated site to be clever marketing. It represents the maze that is litigation, and a straight path through it as provided by SSH.

$3 million settlement to former Kentucky basketball coach Billy Gillispie:
Gillispie was dismissed earlier this year and sued for breach of contract and fraud in May, seeking at least $6 million. The university countersued.
A Memo of Understanding was also involved here. Gillispie had no signed contract during his two year stint with the Wildcats, but was working under a memorandum of understanding. See:
