anyone know the legal hurdles they would face doing this? isn't he barred from working for the university after his previous hiring practices?


"The UA System has a policy that stipulates those who have “been dismissed for cause…shall not be eligible for re-employment” within the system. The policy was originally passed on May 23, 2013, with a revised version being adopted on Nov. 22, 2019.

Despite the policy being adopted about a year after Petrino’s firing, Best of Arkansas Sports confirmed with the UA’s Office of General Counsel that it’d still apply to him — contrary to what some fans have posted on social media.

However, the policy does leave open the possibility of an exception, but it would require the approval of the UA System President, Dr. Donald R. Bobbitt."

i assume if it's this far down the road, the president has agreed. maybe tying up lose ends at this point, because they have a pretty thick hr file on bobby.

also, is it a coincidence this news leaked the first day of the new arkansas nil collective/email solicitations going out?
