As expected in these types of things, both Miles and certain KU employees (Long, Girod, Freet, Lester) agreed to non-disparagement clauses as part of the settlement.

Jesse Newell of the Kansas City Star noted Miles will receive monthly checks of $201,187.50 from April to June followed by payments of $231,250 from July through December.

Miles was fired two years into his Kansas tenure following the revelation of past inappropriate conduct while head coach at LSU in 2013, resulting in the Tigers' then-athletic director recommending his firing and LSU ultimately banning the coach from interacting with female student employees in private.
