Seems every election season has a dividing wedge issue, and this year, in the politically useless flyover territory that is Kentucky, that issue seems to be Bobby Petrino. What are your thoughts on him?
Personally, I could not care less about "morality" or where he sticks his hog (Get it? Cause he coached at Arkansas?), and I would have to venture that Barnhart is smart and professional enough to feel the same way, but by hiring his mistress over more qualified candidates he left his previous employer in a miasma of potential legal liability. Especially if it can be demonstrated that there was a quid pro quo relationship between sex and employment. Mitch and Eli are first and foremost businessmen and I think any employer would be absolutely out of his mind to put his organization at risk by hiring an employee who'd done that in the past, no matter how good they were at their job.
I realize several of you, e.g. Darrell, have the legal knowledge to weigh in more on that, but that's just my 1/50 of $1.
