Im pretty sure that if that other site hadn't made the fuss they made, it would have gone unnoticed.

Highly doubtful

The guy was an assistant AD and plastered this all over a Facebook page that he didn't even have blocked from public access.

Odds are high that he was Facebook friends with several people in the TCU athletic department, other athletic departments in the state, and in the media who would have seen it and made it public.

As soon as he posted it and walked away cackling to himself he was fricked.

Somebody on his Facebook account would have seen it and pointed it out to another person, who would have shown it to another, and then another, and then another, until it got back to his boss.

Hell, if TCU is anything like many places I have worked they were already monitoring everything he said on Facebook regardless. I've worked at several places that monitor your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MySpace (lol) and whatever other social media network you may be part of and have seen people get fired for saying stupid shite at least twice. I also know for a fact that several colleges also monitor student Facebook pages since at least 2007 and that they can request for Facebook to let them look at anything that student has ever posted.

All three sports radio stations in Dallas have been shredding this guy the last few days and every single talking head that has brought it up has agreed that he should be fired (he actually resigned BTW) and will probably NEVER get a job in athletic administration (or possibly any admin role) again.

This wasn't some young kid who was overzealous and screwed up. He is a 38 year old grown man in a position high enough that he should have known better.
