Mike Pressler's lawsuit apparently stems from a financial settlement the school reached earlier this year with him, although school officials did not give details Friday. The players were later cleared of the charges.
The Herald-Sun of Durham reported Friday on its Web site that his lawsuit alleges the university broke the terms of the confidential settlement when university senior vice president John Burness made disparaging comments about him.
The newspaper reported that the lawsuit asks the state court to void the settlement and hold a trial on Pressler's claim of wrongful termination."
Well now, I ain't big on hiring pointy toed lawyers to solve our problems but I sure can feel that Coach's pain. I also got to wonder why those 70+ liberal fellow Duke professors haven't been taken to the woodshed. They not only published a letter castigating the boys and the coach before they knew the facts... they had the gall to publish a second letter after the facts were known say'n; "Even if weren't true -- it coulda been!"
Kinda sounds like ole Dan Rather's approach to reporting the news accurately don't it?
