The University of Texas has reportedly contacted OSU's legal team to begin discussion to settle the nearly $600,000 breach of contract lawsuit OSU has against Wickline, according to HornsDigest.com. The settlement would be about $300,000.
Wickline left OSU after the 2013 season to become the co-offensive coordinator at Texas. Wickline's contract with OSU stated that for him to leave the school before the end of his contract, he must either become an NFL coach or a college offensive coordinator "with play-calling duties."
OSU athletic director Mike Holder and football coach Mike Gundy did not believe Wickline was calling plays for the Longhorns, thus making a lateral move in going to Texas.
