Taylor said he was not fired for cause

It therefore is almost certain Stanford is/will be paying him the rest of his contract. Unfortunate, because that is undoubtedly a considerable amount of money. The failure to fire him immediately after the second investigation probably created enough cause for TT to sue if Stanford tried to fire him for cause. Stanford probably decided the downside risk of a lawsuit outweighed the cost of a "buyout".
