I read recently that the settlement for the lady in the Dubose case was taken out of Dubose's pay.


Not sure that's true. Also, she didn't work FOR Dubose. She worked in the Ath Dept, but did not report to Dubose or anyone in Football Dept. She only sued once her name got out. She was pissed.

In summation - Dubose situation does not = Petrino situation. Petrino gave his mistress a job closer to him and, thus, was screwing a subordinate. Dubose saw someone he found attractive in the halls of the building and made a move.

Wiki take it FWIW

In May 1999, rumor leaked out on the internet that DuBose was accused of having an affair with Deborah Gibson, his secretary. DuBose flatly denied the charges, but three months later reached an out-of-court settlement that paid over $300,000 out of his own pocket, removed the final two years of his contract (leaving him without a job after the upcoming 1999 season unless either an extension was granted or a new contract was reached), and gave the administration the chance to fire him at any time they desired.



but yes the situations are not the same
