MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) -Kansas State has filed a lawsuit challenging a secret deal between former athletic director Ron Krause and former football coach Ron Prince that would pay Prince $3.2 million in deferred compensation between 2015 and 2020.
Kansas State president Jon Wefald said he found out about the deal on May 11 and that nobody in the administration or athletic department knew about it. The lawsuit seeks to invalidate the deal.
Prince resigned in November, three months after signing a five-year contact with a guaranteed compensation package of $1.1 million a year. Krause resigned Wednesday from his job as director of economic development for the school’s Olathe Innovation Campus upon Wefald’s request.
