What's telling is that Petrino isn't seeking anything from the university by way of severance payments, etc. My guess is that there are some other hidden gems that he hopes don't get discovered.

Jessica's life at UA is over and this thing will follow her. But she'll land on her feet (or her back) and find another guy to charm. Her type never really goes away.
The poor hiring decision gives the University an easy out. He would have a devil of a time defending that decision in any forum and I doubt he wants to give everyone the opportunity to rehash the whole thing over and over again in multiple venues. You really have to screw up as a head coach of a revenue sport to not leave with a settlement, but Bobby did it.

If he had just paid her and not given her the job, he would still be coaching. If he had paid $50/month for his own cell phone, he wouldn't be airing his own dirty laundry through FOIA requests.

What I find surprising is the lack of outrage among the sports punditry over the relationship. Unlike politicians, apparently everyone associated with college athletics expects the HC from a BCS school to have something on the side.
