SALEM, Ore. (AP) – Oregon Attorney General John Kroger is looking into a $2.3 million severance package for departing University of Oregon athletic director Mike Bellotti.
Bellotti, who was the Ducks’ football coach for 14 seasons, abruptly announced on March 19 that he was stepping down as Oregon’s AD after less than a year on the job. He has taken a job as a college football analyst for ESPN.
Kroger spokesman Tony Green told The Associated Press that the Oregon Department of Justice is “conducting a review of the contract.” He says Kroger is simply gathering information after concerns were raised by the media.
The review was first reported by The Register-Guard newspaper.
