Wichita State University spent more money on fired head coaches in 2023 than it will on the salaries of all currently employed head coach contracts combined this year, according to records obtained by The Sunflower.
Last year, the university spent more than $3 million on payments to former men’s basketball coaches Gregg Marshall and Isaac Brown and former baseball coach Eric Wedge. WSU will spend around $125,000 less on the base salaries of current head coaches for the 2024-25 year.
