FAYETTEVILLE - Just 48 hours after learning Head Football Coach Bobby Petrino lied to him about a motorcycle accident involving a 25-year-old female passenger, Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long tells the Associated Press that he is still working on the review of Bobby Petrino's handling of the situation.
Long was met outside of the Broyles Athletic Center Saturday morning by an Associated Press reporter, telling the AP the review process is "ongoing." Long did not indicate a timetable for a decision but indicated it likely will be carried over past Easter Sunday.
Petrino, 51, initially said he was alone in Sunday's accident, and later confessed that 25-year-old Jessica Dorrell, a University Employee recently promoted by Petrino, was with him on the bike and acknowledged what he called a "previous inappropriate relationship.
