A month after being accused of physically abusing players and an assistant coach — among other boorish behavior — Gregg Marshall stepped down as Wichita State’s men’s basketball coach.
He received $7.75 million to do so.
This is amateur athletics, supposedly. This is college sports, where consequences for the adults are rare and even when they do come, so does a seven-figure check.
The school investigated the brutal allegations, including punching a player and choking an assistant in addition to the general bullying of many, following reports from the Athletic and Stadium. While Marshall hasn’t admitted any mistakes, he chose to leave on Tuesday.
