Four months have come and gone since K-State fired basketball coach Jerome Tang. Still hanging fire is a dispute over a buyout clause in his contract that appeared to mean the Athletics Department would have to pay him $18.7 million.
Since then? Still no filing. Any lawsuit has to be filed in district court in Riley County, according to the contract.
Which means the two sides are still negotiating a possible settlement, sources say. What the status of those negotiations is remains unclear; neither side will comment for the record.
