1. The conference knowingly let him work, (5 seasons was it?) without questioning his ability, and it would seem without complaints.
2. The Orange Bowl assignment would appear to show that they were happy with his work.
3. The idiot at the conference that told him he was fired because "He didn't have two eyes" left the conference WIDE open for an ADA lawsuit.
I think he will win, get a lot of money, and there will be a firing at the conference level.

I concur - except that surely someone at the conference level will realize that they have no case and will settle.
