Does this "hostage" statement hurt or help Barnett?

Either Turner/Orsini buy into it and think "yeah, nothing really did materialize out of those claims, and maybe the courts/media did handle it unfairly..."
Or they think "boy, don't want anybody saying that with the letters SMU next to their name."
I think this'll factor in big if Turner/Orsini even consider Gary Barnett. I think this hurts his chances at SMU, which is unfortunate in my opinion, because I think in many ways this would make him an even more sensational hire than he'd already be and legally he seems to have been cleared of any wrong doing.
