Yeah, but if you do something that potentially sets up your employer for all sorts of liabilities, you're likely going to be punished regardless if anything happens. An employer isn't going to wait until something like this plays out.
And who knows, maybe Arkansas figured dumping Petrino might give them a little bit of cover from any future lawsuit. Maybe they could settle for less by saying "We terminated the coach after we discovered there was a problem."

It definitely played a part. There were other factors as well and obviously it's biting him in the butt. Some school might hire him soon but it also wouldn't surprise me if he gets to cool his heels for a while.

Radio chatter this morning has several of the infamous "sources" saying Arky St. is getting ready to pull the plug & hire him. Not sure as to the why, as he'll bail out of there as soon as he wins big one season. A.D.s have notoriously bad memories when faced with the pressure to win, and some major college will hire in the next yr or so, count on it.
