re: The University of Arkansas sends a statement to the rest of the SEC

Nobody would have kept him. He was legal suicide. Your AD and board had no choice. Petrino gift wrapped his termination on a silver platter.

Ding! Ding! Ding!.......He would have kept his job if he had done everything (affair, cash, lying, deceit, etc.) except hiring her into a subordinate role. IMHO he would still be the coach of Arkansas (albeit embarrased and disgraced) if he had not hired her. He took any qualitative considerations out of the conversation. Arkansas is a public university supported by public taxpayer money. They are likely to get sued as it is, but at least they can now blame it on a "rogue" employee. Couldn't do that without firing him. Keep in mind there are at least 158 potential plaintiffs who lost out on that job (not including his mistress) and you can bet their phones are ringing off the hook. This is Corporate Law 101 and nothing more.
