Former Toledo football assistant files $10 million wrongful termination lawsuit

A former Toledo football assistant coach has filed a lawsuit against the university alleging that he was fired due to both his age and his race.

Former assistant Craig Kuligowski, who played at the school himself and is a member of the Toledo Hall of Fame, filed a lawsuit against the school last month in U.S. District Court in Ohio, according to ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg. He’s seeking more than $10 million in damages.

Kuligowski alleged in the lawsuit that he was fired “because he was the wrong age and the wrong race,” per the report.
