Good for him.

This whole situation stinks of the meddling of high dollar boosters.

Scott….how will this affect the coaching search?

I don’t see how he has a case, he was terminated “with cause” and the school cited 3 seperate violations, I believe….so he would have to prove all three false.  And now, Miller has retained an attorney and they are now saying that the kid tried to cover it up to “protect the coach.”

I don’t see CJL winning this or or getting settlement money, do you?

Oh, I see USF writing a check. From memory, there were 19 interviewed athletes, three said they saw it and he did it, two said they saw it and he didn’t do it. In court that won’t hold up. The rest of the violations are fruit of the poisoned tree and won’t hold up. Then USF writes a check.

Maybe…..but if Miller says it happened then that would outweigh the testinomy of the other two that say it didn’t.  Obviously, though Miller may have a credibility problem.

Funnt sidenote….my word to enter in other to post this “law.”

None of the information appears to have been gained illegally.

Even if, for the sake of argument, Leavitt didn’t hit Miller, he has admitted to having contact with Miller during the investigation, which was prohibited. There are plenty of examples of people being punished for interfering with an investigation, even when an underlying crime wasn’t committed.

USF still may decided to write a check if they determine it is cheaper than defending a lawsuit. But, I think their actions would hold up in court.
