I haven’t really followed that story lately, but how is Rich Rod’s tail-tale worse than Petrino’s?

Petrino's girl was a willing participant, for starters. Still a scandal since he have her a job in the athletic department and then lied about the circumstances of his wreck, but it's not like he was harassing a girl who didn't want any part of it.

I haven't read much on the subject, but didn't RichRod's gal take some hush money? If so, she was at least somewhat willing. And weren't they actually having an affair? If so, sounds like she was willing and just got tired of it.

Not gonna weigh in too much on who was worse off the field, but one obvious difference between them is that RichRod is a mediocre (at best) coach. Petrino has been successful everywhere he’s been whereas RichRod was only successful one place way back when the spread option was still cutting edge. Nobody is gonna hire a groper / cheater who has a ceiling of 7-5 over the long term.

I guess Petrino's was a consensual thing and Rich Rod's was allegedly sexual harassment. Though I think the woman's claim is probably greatly exaggerated. Of course, the real answer is that Petrino won more games.

She claims he gave her a $1,500 as a bonus and it made her uncomfortable and that's sexual harassment. Not uncomfortable enough to decline the money. His affair was with a woman outside the athletic dept. She claims it's sexual harassment that he gave the girlfriend a sideline pass, and then told her to keep the girlfriend and wife separate.

The investigation did not prove any sexual harassment. But it did turn up the stuff about the girlfriend and the wife and that, combined with his middling record, was enough for Arizona to say goodbye.
