IMO this is a horrible "look" for Stanford. Would TT have been fired if the stories about his misconduct had not become public? Events give the perception that Stanford's behavior is not guided by doing the "right thing" even when nobody is looking. It will be interesting to know if TT is getting paid his buyout or was "fired for cause" and will not. I am guessing the former. Stanford doesn't want to face a lawsuit, even if it one they would "win".

I still believe that the misconduct stories would not have leaked if there wasn't at least some serious consideration from admin to get rid of Taylor in the first place.
