institution or other units."
A July 1. 1991 letter from Kulongotki said. "(Monson) may
huff and puff, but hp ( annot make OAK 580-21*318 go away."
The state also denies it is responsible for Monson's loss of
income from outside sources Monton had contract! with Nike
fS15,000/year), the Oregon Sports Network ($fi5.(XX)/ymir). and
a Basketball summer camp (SIB.(HHl/year) among other*.
In hi* claim that the University is responsible for those cen
tral ts. Monson is relying on a March 18. 1981 letter from for
mer athletic director Kick Bay. who offered Monson the job
as basketball coach.
The letter mentions radio and television contracts, saying.
"It is difficult to bo precise about any potential income in this
area Present estimates are that you could earn hut ween
S10,000-J12.000 from the radio/telovision shows ....”
The letter also mentions summer camps, saying. Again, ii
is difficult to project potential income here ... Nonetheless, it
should tie emphasized that you are fret* to earn ns much camp
related income as you can generate
The state claims the letter is meaningless for several reasons:
f irst. Monson is suing over terms of his 1992 contract, not
bis 1983 control t. sec ond, the letter's language, including terms
such ns "you could earn." and "you are free to earn as much
camp-related income ns you can generate," suggest that the lan
guage was not intended to bind the University to those income
sciuri es. and third, the letter was not a contract.
The letter contained a clause that read. “Please understand,
however, that this offer is contingent upon ratification from the
President of the University and can only lm fully consummat
ed in a letter directly from him which will require your sig
nature " Thu state claims that, because of this clause, the letter
from Hay could not he interpreted as a binding contract.
In a (line 1, 1993 deposition via telephone from Australia,
where Monson is now com hing a professional team, he recalled
events leading up to his leaving the t Jniversity
Monson said Byrne came into Ins offic e on the morning of
Man h 17. 1992 "(Byrne) said lie felt tlmi he wan going to make
a change in the basketball coat hing,” Monson said, and that
Byrne suggested the fob as golf ( oa< h
"I told iHvrne) I had been a bnsketlwdl coach for 14 years, and
that is what I anno to Oregon for." Monson said
Monson said Hymn told him he was calling a nows «onfcr
erice for that afternoon and asked him if he wanted to attend.
Monson replied. "What in the world would I waul to attend
the press t onference for. w ith the things that you just men
tioned/ Why don't you get out of hen*7”
A letter from Byrne that same day confirmed Monson's reav
signmenl as golf coach "You explained to me that you were
not hired to tie the golf i oach and used rather graphh terms
to explain that to me," the letter said
I'm sorrv that this has come to this Don. hut I'm convinced
that for the good ol tin1 department, we need to make a change
ill leadership in the men's basketball pnrgrom," Byrne said
Monson refused the job. and on April 20 was given a letter
assigning him as t oinpliunce coordinator. I ll expet t you to
begin your new assignment by Max 18. 1992. II you fail to begin
In that day. we will i onsider that you have resigned." the let
ter said.
Both positions would have (slid the same salary, hut the < run
