I think it does because I think it is being conducted by LGBT groups so they don't have as much of an incentive for letting him make it a joke.
Something that just gets more and more crazy to me is that this entire episode (the homophobic slur, insulting Catholics, suspension, becoming a yearly employee, reduced salary, mandatory donations etc.) happened because Huggins either made the whole thing up or exaggerated it so much that he might as well as made it all up. Because none of it makes sense, and no one remembers this happening. Huggins is an ******* and was coach of Xavier's biggest rival. If more than five people did it, people would remember it, it would have been reported on, and probably most Xavier fans would have said they participated
It's honestly more believable that he made the whole thing up so that he could use the slur than that any part of it happened
