Judge Awards Kent State $1.2 Million for Coach's Breach of Contract

Kent State University's former men's basketball coach breached his contract when he left the institution for a job at Bradley University in 2011, an Ohio judge ruled Tuesday in awarding Kent State $1.2 million, The Akron Beacon-Journal reported. The $1.2 million award would cover the four years (at a salary of $300,000) that were remaining on Geno Ford's contract when he left a year after his deal had been renegotiated. Ohio's attorney general, Mike DeWine, said in a news release that ?Ohio?s public colleges and universities have a duty to students and taxpayers to be wise stewards of tuition and taxpayer moneys.?

Kent State is also suing Bradley for its role in Ford's hiring.
