Two quick points:

1. I would not consider BS&K to be "outside counsel" in the traditional sense. I believe the firm has a long-standing relationship with the University and I believe handles labor, education and athletic compliance issues.

2. Saying the investigation "took four months" likely does not mean the firm had attorneys working on the matter 40 hours a week for four months. The way these things usually work is you interview the accuser. Then you try to interview people he claims would corroborate. Then you interview the accused. Then you follow-up on issues presented by the accused.  Generally it takes time to set up the interviews, especially with anyone your client doesnt control (non-SU employees). Once the interviews are concluded a report of findings and recommendations is drafted. Then the report would be shared with important University Administrators, and ultimately with the Board of Trustees.   The process likely took four months to conclude.
