I am wondering if this has legs to it as well. It is common for institutions to give some general info to the media prior to a discussion. For example, before the President gives the state of the union or holds a press conference, news organizations are usually given a general outline of the story so they will present it to the public in the way it is intended. For the UofL press conference a few weeks ago, both the C.J. and Pat Forde on Yahoo Sports were telling us about the post season ban before it was announced in the press conference.
While I don't live there, I gathered from what was said here that Jones was announcing it before the CJ and Yahoo sports were. If Jones is getting more information than the CJ, or getting it earlier than the CJ, I could see that being an issue. If the President of the PR firm is feeding info specifically to Jones, that very likely is a breach of the contract between the two and could result in termination of the contract.
Being a public university is not an issue. Not supplying information to Jones does not mean that the University is keeping any secrets. He might be welcome to attend the press conferences, or he can get his info from Yahoo Sports or the CJ.
