The agreement gives Gillispie $2.98 million. UK also agreed to pay more than $265,000 in legal and mediation fees. http://www.kentucky.com/818/story/976088.html Old Billy G made out pretty good didn't he? He'll need it, he won't get a solid job like UK again. Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Sandman Global Moderator member is offline Joined: Sept 2007 Gender: Male Posts: 2,241 Location: Corbin, Ky.

Plus, the University has to pay these other agencies. I guess it can cost a lot to learn a lesson sometimes. This will make other programs think before they hire him too.
