MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) – Kansas State has agreed to settle a contract dispute with former football coach Ron Prince for $1.65 million.
The school announced the settlement on Friday, ending an embarrassing chapter in Kansas State sports history. Prince was generally unpopular with fans after going 17-20 from 2006-2008 as head coach. He was fired.
Afterward, the school said it accidentally discovered what it called a secret memorandum of understanding signed by Prince and athletic director Robert Krause. In that agreement, Prince was supposedly owed $3.2 million in addition to a severance payment of about $1.3 million.
President Jon Wefald said he hadn’t known anything about the agreement and Krause’s ties with athletics were immediately ended.
Prince currently works for the Indianapolis Colts as an assistant offensive line coach.
