So Sarkesian says he has

[BigLeagueChew]

I think they fired him for that or the catch-all coaching contract provision..."conduct detrimental to the school." They could have possible gotten away with firing him before suspending him and letting him go to rehab; however, if Sark could prove that he was alcoholic before he was fired and that USC was aware of his problem then he could argue that USC terminated him with knowledge of his disability.

Since this federal law, it trumps anything in a contract. The cleanest thing for USC to have done was wait until he was done with rehab and then fire him.I'm guessing someone in the fan base wanted it done sooner.

Is the Todd McNair suit ever going to court?[/QU
For the benefit of anyone interested in the USC / Todd McNair issue, I am adding some information in a timeline form. This will be short and on point. Paul Dee, the hatchet man in the USC sanctions had a complaint to depose him filed June 3, 2011 by Mc Nair's legal team. On about April 19th 2012, the Court ordered emails found by Mc Nair's legal team unsealed. On about April 24, 2012 a commission was ordered for Paul Dee to be deposed in Florida after public disclosure of enlightening emails. On May 12, 2012 Paul Dee died of a massive heart attack days before the Florida authorities were going compel him to deposition.
