After former head baseball coach Eric Wedge parted ways with the university in December, a mutual separation between both parties was finalized with a financial settlement on Feb. 14. The contract was signed by Director of Athletics Kevin Saal and Wedge.
The Wichita Eagle obtained the 14-page separation agreement through a Kansas Open Records request and reported its details this afternoon.
The agreement specifies that Wichita State will pay Wedge $675,000 or approximately half of the remaining balance in his contract in equal installments over the next 10 months.
Last summer, the former Shocker baseball player from the 1989 World Series team signed a two year contract extension but took a leave of absence to focus on personal health related matters last October.
