He's also been placed on "paid administrative leave" according to a related article accessible on the link above. Yikes! The shyt is getting deeper for BP by the minute.
Petrino signed a new seven-year contract in December 2010, after completing his third regular season at Arkansas. The contract, which was for an average of $3.53 million annually, had a clause in it that would allow Arkansas to dismiss Petrino for "engaging in conduct, as solely determined by the university, which is clearly contrary to the character and responsibilities of a person occupying the position of head football coach or which negatively or adversely affects the reputation of the (university's) athletics programs in any way."
Looks like he lived up to that clause in just about every way with this incident. Wonder if it's gonna take very long for the next shoe to drop from the adminstration. Just put him on paid administrative leave as the initial step in firing his azz? Kinda looking that way.

I mean normally a public employee that gets caught giving jobs to people that they were having an affair with gets in all kinds of trouble. They knew he was scum when they hired him though. How does that work? "Sure, we knew he was a classless sleazeball when we hired him, but we never imagined he'd stoop THAT low?" Edit: Oh just for extra fun apparently she was in charge of organizing initial eligibility for players.
