Former USC football coach Steve Sarkisian has agreed to binding arbitration to resolve his lawsuit against the university over his firing, according to a filing in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
The decision came on the eve of a hearing scheduled for Wednesday on USC’s motion to send the case to arbitration.
“Mr. Sarkisian has always been and remains confident that he will prevail regardless of who the decision maker is,” the coach’s Dallas-based attorney, Alan Loewinsohn, wrote in an email to The Times.
“He filed the lawsuit because he had a right to sue in court and believes in transparency.
