Petrino knowingly misled the athletic department about the nature of his accident and did not avail himself of multiple opportunities to be forthcoming.

Petrino had had a relationship with Dorrell for “a significant period of time.” The relationship itself was not a violation of university policy. Not disclosing his relationship with her before hiring her for a position that had 159 applications did violate university policy, giving her an “unfair and undisclosed advantage.”

Petrino also revealed a $20,000 cash payment to Dorrell. Long declined to be specific about when the payment occurred.

He “negatively and adversely affected the University of Arkansas.” Long replied affirmatively when asked if he thought Petrino felt himself bigger than the program.
