Summary
Former Ohio University football coach Brian Smith has filed a lawsuit against the university for wrongful termination. Smith was fired in December without explanation, but records showed allegations of extramarital affairs and alcohol-related conduct. The university cited these allegations as reason for firing Smith for cause, denying him a $2.5 million buyout. Smith’s lawsuit disputes these claims and argues that the university failed to follow contractual standards before firing him.
