SportsBeat KC: David Beaty’s message to KU is save the goodbyes, show me the buyout
David Beaty stopped being Kansas’ football coach after the 2018 season, but he and the school haven’t quite cut ties. Kansas doesn’t want to pay Beaty a $3 million buyout because the school says he violated NCAA rules during his tenure. The Beaty camp has disputed the seriousness of the alleged violations and wants his contract fulfilled.
KU beat writer Jesse Newell untangles the conflict on this episode of The Star’s daily SportsBeat KC podcast with host Blair Kerkhoff. Other topics covered include a local tie to the latest addition on the Jayhawks’ basketball schedule, pay cuts for coaches and administrators and how the NCAA’s ruling to allow athletes to cash in on their name, image and likeness will impact the university.
