(Yahoo Sports) Kansas and former football coach David Beaty reached a $2.55 million settlement on Friday after Beaty filed a federal lawsuit against the athletic department more than a year ago, according to the Kansas City Star.
Beaty was fired in November 2018 without cause, and was still owed $3 million on his contract. However, Beaty sued the athletic department last March, per ESPN, claiming that the school launched an NCAA inquiry to avoid paying him that buyout.
Beaty spent four seasons at Kansas, though compiled just a 6-42 record. The Jayhawks didn’t win a single game in his first year with the program, and only won once in 2017, too.
