This on-going court case is really getting ugly...
Oklahoma State seeks new deposition from Charlie Strong
Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas -- A lawyer for Oklahoma State says the school notified Texas it wants new depositions from Longhorns coach Charlie Strong, three staff members, a quarterback and former athletic director Steve Patterson if a breach-of-contract lawsuit against a Texas assistant proceeds toward trial.
Oklahoma State sued Longhorns assistant Joe Wickline for almost $600,000, arguing he made a lateral move to Texas in 2014 and didn't take a promotion with play-calling duties as stated in his previous contract.
Strong was already deposed in March. The pursuit of new testimony from Strong, one of his key players and Patterson, who was forced to resign Tuesday after less than two years on the job, is an aggressive step by Oklahoma State in an unusual case that has angered Texas fans and pulled back the curtain on the inner workings of a major college football program.
Oklahoma State plays at Texas on Sept. 26
The Tulsa World has reported that Wickline rejected a $250,000 settlement offer from Oklahoma State.
That last line is the one that really has me scratching my head. Really? OSU OFFERED a settlement? I thought they were the ones asking for a payment?
All I know is... If Wickline has been calling plays? Send him BACK to OSU.
