The University of Cincinnati is paying $380 an hour to conduct an investigation into fired men's basketball coach John Brannen.
Bond, Schoeneck & King, the law firm representing the university, has been appointed Special Counsel to conduct the investigation with a budget of $49,000 that is scheduled to end at the end of the month, according to documents obtained by The Enquirer through Ohio's Open Records Act.
The investigation will end June 30 "unless terminated earlier by the Attorney General or renewed by the Attorney General at the conclusion of the fiscal year," according to the documents.
