Actually I’m not sure that AD Tyra is the only one that can file a lawsuit. How about the athletic board or even the trustees. I believe that about 1/2 of the contracted buyout money has been paid out. It is not defending Vince Tyra to say he is only carrying out the contractural obligations he was left with by the prior regime - it’s a fact. I would most definitely file a lawsuit to get the money back and I would not pay another dime of the balance. This is based on evidence that Petrino intentionally created an environment that led to our 2-10 record and having kids leave the program in droves in addition to his hiring practices of incompetent staff members...
"Vince" ain't at the very top of the pyramid, that's correct.
I'm basing much of my commentary on the fact that he now gets credit for most of what's good that's going on in athletics.
And IIRC when the NCAA appeal was exhausted, he remarked that further litigation didn't make financial sense. He didn't credit anyone else with that perspective, so I'm giving him credit.
Approaching three years in, the guy's either in charge or he's not...
