Here is what the page “Kansas State and Jerome Tang Near $12 Million Settlement After For-Cause Firing” contains. Kansas State University and former men's basketball coach Jerome Tang are reportedly close to a $12 million settlement following his for-cause termination, according to a report. The school had cited a postgame rant as justification to fire Tang for cause and avoid an $18 million buyout. The settlement, if finalized, would save the university $6 million compared to the original buyout while providing Tang a substantial payout.
The dispute centered on whether Tang's conduct met the contractual threshold for a for-cause firing, a rare move in college sports that typically requires serious misconduct. Tang, who led the Wildcats to the NCAA Tournament, had four years remaining on his contract. The resolution avoids a potentially lengthy legal battle and allows both parties to move forward. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
