Nope. this is a privately run United Methodist School, administered by a board of trustees (24 out of 36 of which various methodist conventions directly elect). The school has a 3 - 5 billion dollar private endowment that will be the deep pockets - no taxpayer funds involved.
The school did bad things, got sued, settled to keep it quiet, then broke their agreement not to blame things that happened on former employee, or slander him. the school renegged so Pressler is taking them back to court, probably knock down drag out this time.
I’m guessing that lawyers from the university will meet within ten days...iron out a good deal...make sure the coach keeps his mouth shut on the settlement....and he gets a check for $5 million. Taxes and lawyers will eat up $1.5 million of that...so he’ll have to be happy with $3.5 million...but hey...thats more than you’d need to live a good life.
