Am I missing something? Whats the big deal?
The only thing I get from this is that Leach is trying to establish a timeline where TTech had already decided to fire him before the evidence was in regarding James.
If he can show that Tuberville was already making plans to enroll his kids in school there BEFORE the James story came to light, he could theoretically claim that the school acted in bad faith when it removed him.
Even at that, it's strictly a monetary ploy now. He's not going back there and he probably realizes that his public stance has poisoned him for other schools. Right now he'd be lucky to get a job at a junior college. So he's trying to squeeze every dime he can out of Tech before he has to go to ground for a long time.
