Alabama set a similar precedent, and I haven't heard of any issues they've had because of it. Mike DuBose was accused of having an affair with his secretary in 1999. He denied it but eventually forked over $300,000 out of court. He kept his job, but his contract was reworked. He got fired at the end of the 2000 season for having a bad team.

He is her surperior. Regardless of whether it was mutual or not it could still be considered sexual harrassment since he is in the power position, therefore his decisions are held to higher degree than hers. She could sue the university for sexual harrassment, and depending on what Long finds out she could make out like a bandit and potentailly never have to work again.
In regards to others who applied sueing, it depends on how many people applied for the job, and how many were legitimately considered i.e. brought in for an interview at least. It also makes a difference if she received preferential treatment in regards to the hiring. Did she go through the same procedures as the other candicicates for the job? Was Petrino the one who directly hired her? Did he give her the only interview? All these things will have to be asked and considered before any apprpiate action can be made.
If she did receive preferential treatment then said applicants can file a suit that holds some water, and they could potentially be EXPENSIVE.

No it could not. Stop watching law and order. That is not the law. An inappropriate sexual relationship is not sexual harrasment. If she told him she wanted to stop seeing him and he then said no you can't or I am gonna do this then that is sexual harassment. Otis is 100 percent correct.

"I see two issues here and neither are cause for me to ask for Petrino to be fired. The first issue is he has had at least one affair we now know about. That doesn't concern me. That's a personal matter between him and his wife. Now, I admit Petrino complicated it for himself when he was when a UA employee and then wasn't honest about it. Once again, that is a situation for him and Long. This is the second part of the matter, he wasn't honest with his employer and that's a problem for him. However, once again that is a matter between Petrino and Long."
How we have fallen.
I do not know what the future holds for this country of people, or for this world in general. I do not know what challenges and obstacles await me around the next corner. There are a lot of things I am ignorant about and a lot of things I may never learn, but I know this - we cannot separate a man's value from his character and remain individuals of integrity.
Only when we demand moral excellence will moral excellence be pursued. Yet if anyone stands up to the crowd and says, "Hey, this shouldn't be tolerated...", we are chastened because of our self-righteousness and our own philandering hypocrisy. But the solution is not that we should turn a blind eye toward the problems of society. The solution is that we should shore up what is lacking in our own lives, and then consistently demand the same of others.
We all love our teams and our coaches. We all love the feeling that comes from that last second win, or a championship season. But much bigger things are at stake here; we are determining the moral fabric of our very society. We should demand a coach and a program be the complete package. And if he is a liar or a loser - on the field or off - he should go.

LOL! This is one of the funniest things I've ever read.
Just b/c there's a whole hell of a lot more media in today's world, along with much more "instant" news feeds & way more stories detailing every juicy story that can possibly be told, doesn't mean the world's any damn different than it was hundreds of years ago.
We're human, we make mistakes. The better we are at our job, the more/bigger those mistakes are allowed to be, & it's been that way forever.
