So I guess I have more to say than twitter, facebook or linked in would allow--

As I watch all of this with Coach Leavitt at USF--I think this: The President Judy Genshaft looked sad in her announcement; the swift investigation and action was a good thing; does Leavitt protesteth too much?; was it the reported physical thing or the reported interference with the investigation; was there conduct that was a symptom of 'the most powerful man in the house" statement?; how much is that a civil suit could come if acknowledged and even apology is made; why was the media portrayal of the coach so different from what was in the reports of the investigative report (like Tiger Woods?); would an apology make a difference--would a physical contact of the reported nature be "okay' under passion? what does it say about the brand of a University who picks up the Coach-do they tolerate such actions (if true)? do they encourage it? Is this a case of the softening of our culture? As you can see I have questions. This situation easily transfers to corporate life. But why would Leavitt want to be with an organization who has moved on? Sort of like Hillary Clinton was in West Virginia and the primary. The Party didn't want her anymore-they made their choice for candidate, yet she wouldn't give up or give in. How much is pride; how much is due to our litigious society; how much is for more of the outstanding contract dollars; how much is a stimulus bill for all the lawyers and how much is in search of the truth? What do you think? Will you share your thoughts?
