According to Jack, he feels Watts is refusing to quit with the treat of revealing all he knows. Expects Watts to resign at some point with a huge payout...

Yeah, I'm sure that the BoT would just as soon this was over at this point. The problem is that if Watts goes off the reservation and starts talking about what he knows this thing will blow sky high. He's going to be set for life.

He'd better be, he's pretty well made himself unhireable. At least until the BoT tears away the medical side and puts him in charge of it again.

RE: #FreeUAB Sports Report
Now that makes a lot more sense to me.

The Board never needed Dr. Watts so I was thinking they could have dropped him or sent him off with a parachute if the situation dictated as much, but their continued support of him despite the bad press seems a lot more understandable if he has some leverage. If he threatened to expose them on the event that he was fired, no way they'd go through with it.

I'm not sure he has to threaten them. In fact, it would probably weaken his position, as it makes him an enemy they need to erase to protect themselves.

They know quite well what he knows, and how damaging it would be for it to come out. They'll handle the buyout. They're good at that.

I've thought for a while that Watts could get upwards to a $10 million buyout.

The issue though is that I don't believe he cannot get it from the same fund that Garrison & Queen Ann did.
