Experts say that legal headaches could start at Northwestern, WVU, with Fitzgerald, Huggins. Pat Fitzgerald, Bob Huggins and their schools could be in for a legal nightmare. Fitzgerald , Northwestern's football coach , was fired this past week after hazing accusations --- but only after the school announced a 2-week suspension. West Virginia claimed Huggins resigned following the Hall of Fame Basketball Coach's arrest on a drunken driving charge last month. But Huggins now claims he did not make such a decision. Attorneys are trying to sort it out, which requires a detailed review of the contracts. However, industry observers are shocked by the awkward handling of two high profile contracts worth millions of dollar. Marty Greenberg is a Milwaukee attorney who specializes in coach's contracts and terminations. According to a person with knowledge of this deal, All-Pro defensive lineman Quinnen Williams has agreed to a contract extension for four years worth $96million. The Southeastern Conference has agreed to extend its contract with Commissioner Greg Sankey through 2028. The release on Thursday did not disclose any financial terms. Oklahoma State has seen a lot of turnover on the transfer portal. The Cowboys have lost eight starters out of 18 players who entered the transfer portal in the last season. Northwestern has decided to keep its assistant coaches and staff for the 2023 football season, after firing head coach Pat Fitzgerald over a hazing controversy. Greenberg said that many of these issues are settled because no one wants their dirty laundry exposed. Northwestern initially suspended Fitzgerald for two weeks, without pay, on July 7, claiming that a law firm investigation had not found enough evidence to prove the coaching staff was aware of ongoing hazing. The school changed its position on Monday after the Daily Northwestern published stories alleging hazing and racism in the football team. President Michael Schil stated that hazing is "widespread", and not a hidden in the program. Northwestern's Assistant Coaches and Support Staff will be retained. A lawyer for Fitzgerald has told ESPN that school violated an oral contract. Andrew Rhoden, an attorney from Dallas who has represented college coaches, said: "Without doubt the Northwestern case is the most puzzling because the university told him that he would be getting a 2-week suspension." "For them reverse the decision, is actually the most puzzling I've heard." Fitzgerald signed a ten-year contract in 2021, and he will reportedly receive more than $40 million over the course of the contract. Bill Robers teaches sports law at University of Colorado. He has represented sports entities, coaches and athletes in contract negotiations. Huggins' situation is even more bizarre than Fitzgerald's. West Virginia announced that Huggins had resigned the day following his arrest on June 16, based in part upon a text sent by Huggins's wife to a Deputy Athletic Director. A week later was named as an interim replacement for the 2023-24 football season. Huggins didn't release a statement until July 8, saying that he had never officially resigned and wanted to keep his position. Robers said, "It is very odd to come back here and say, 'yeah uh, nevermind'." West Virginia has maintained that Huggins resigned despite the fact that the coach claimed the university issued a "false" statement that he did not write or review. Huggins also used a homophobic insult and denigrated Catholics in a radio interview conducted in May. Huggins' salary of $4.15m was reduced by $1m and his contract was changed to a year-byyear review. Huggins faces a DUI charge. According to the contract signed in 2021, he could be fired for cause if he engages in conduct that results in criminal charges. The university presidents and governing board have the final say on contract decisions. They could be involved in a messy legal battle. They often seek advice from their attorneys. General counsels have many other duties. Rhoden suggested that every Power Five Conference school should dedicate a part of their general counsel office to sport, especially in light of the recent rise of compensation for name, likeness, and image. Rhoden said, "It is no longer possible to rely solely on your general attorney." "We're going see, especially with the NIL stuff and investigations, that it's just too much for an individual to handle." Experts aren't certain if firing coaches, especially for "cause" misconduct or other serious offenses, has become more difficult. As coaching salaries have risen over the last few decades, their contracts include provisions relating to duties and responsibilities as well as rules enforcement, moral standards, and upholding school's reputation. Greenberg said, "The contracts I signed when I first started out were relatively simple." "Sports contracts have become more complex." It's not for the average lawyer or novice. You need to be experienced and know where the problems lie." Ty Thomas, who heads a sports industry group at Holland & Knight in Washington, warned schools to be cautious because "terminating a coaching 'for cause,' may hinder your ability to recruit a new coach." Anytime you terminate a coach for a "cause", you are making a strong statement. Other coaching splits ended up in court due to NCAA and buyout issues. These include ex-UConn basketball coach Kevin Ollie, and former Kansas football coach David Beaty. Tennessee cited NCAA rule violations in firing football coach Jeremy Pruitt and negating his $12.6million buyout. The NCAA notified Tennessee last year of 18 major rule violations under Pruitt. Art Briles was awarded a $15 million settlement by Baylor in 2016 after he was fired from the university following allegations that his football staff and he had failed to take action against players accused sexual assault. West Virginia has had a history of messy coaching departures, including issues with buyouts after football coach Rich Rodriguez and basketball coach John Beilein both left for Michigan in 2007 The Dallas attorney Rhoden earned a master's from West Virginia. He also served as a defensive-quality control specialist in Rodriguez's office. He said Huggins’ situation puts the school "on a slippery slope." He said that if they do not handle this situation correctly, "many coaches will be hesitant to come to West Virginia." ___ AP sports: https://apnews.com/hub/sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
