Message: [QUOTE="Col. Bleep, post: 2567951, member: 1023"] That money likely would be gone in the first couple of months. Litigation is EXPENSIVE! People seem to forget what happened. Bernie Fine did not sue or dropped litigation against the deep pockets. Fine did not contest his firing by SU. He was fired right after an audio tape surfaced. A tape on which his voice NEVER appeared. It was circumstantial hearsay and veiled allegations by one of the alleged victims. Yet he went quietly and didn't contest the dismissal. That alone suggests he had reason not to pursue litigation against the University. He did sue ESPN about 17 months after his firing...and then quietly dropped his defamation claim 3 months later. None of this behavior suggests any real desire to open himself to scrutiny in litigation. [/QUOTE]
