Court Dismisses Assistant Coach’s Lawsuit against Oklahoma State University
A state court judge in Texas dismissed a lawsuit brought by an assistant football coach at the University of Texas (UT) against his former employer, Oklahoma State University (OSU), finding that an Oklahoma judge should settle the dispute, since the controversy centers on a contract the assistant signed in that state.
The controversy centered on a provision in the contract between offensive line coach, Joe Wickline, and OSU, which sought to protect the university’s interest.
