Yeah, so...

Not much in that story. Read before you link. Don’t drink and drive. Always look up before climbing.

Wonder what the buyout was

And which was the bigger winner

I think

that it’s marginally closer to the $0 end than the $6.6 M end— ESPN reported that kU was close to firing with cause

TV said he technically "resigned"

doesthat still equate to him getting a buyout/

some details from over at RTC

The athletic department and Mangino reached an agreement on a buyout that was less than the $6.6 million remaining on Mangino’s contract. Clint Bowen, David Beaty and Bill Miller will share interim head coach duties, according to Lew Perkins in a KU athletics statement

“We appreciate the eight years that Mark has given to rebuilding our football program,” Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins said. "He and I have reached a mutually satisfactory agreement that reflects the appreciation we have for his efforts on behalf of Kansas football.

In the statement, Perkins said the details of the settlement and the investigation would remain confidential as part of Magino’s personnel file.

As a state institution

Could an open records request find out what the settlement was?

Reading between the lines I think the fact that the football team got into a fight with the basketball team may have a lot to do with this. Even as the head coach of the football team your players DON’T mess with the basketball team and get away with it!!

interesting. Maybe something to that.

I’m amazed there isn’t more chatter about the story that was linked here earlier, about Mangino making that kid burn a hole in his hand by bear crawling across the super-hot astroturf. A) it was outrageous and documented well enough to be a causus beli for outright firing, and B) it wins the PR war. looking at the comments on it, there were plenty of KU fans saying “well I used to support him, but this does it. Next!”.
