From the link..

Mike Anderson, St. John's basketball

St. John's Mike Anderson was fired in March for a "failure to perform your duties and responsibilities in a manner that reflected positively on St. John's University ... in actions [that] brought serious discredit."

Anderson is suing the university for $45.6 million, which includes his $11 million buyout with the rest going for "punitive damages" for his wrongful termination. Anderson claims his firing by the school was part of a bigger set of plans to bring Rick Pitino to St. John's: Pitino was hired 10 days after Anderson was fired.

"St. John's manufactured out of whole cloth its preposterous 'for cause' termination of Mr. Anderson's employment with the sole purpose of attempting to extricate the University from its $11.4 million ironclad contractual obligation to Mr. Anderson, specifically so that it could otherwise divert those funds to Pitino," a filing on Anderson's behalf said.
