Eastern Kentucky University and the Ohio Valley Conference have reached a settlement regarding legal action filed over EKU’s move to the ASUN Athletic Conference.
The one million dollars sought by the OVC goes back two years ago when Eastern left the conference and joined the ASUN. The OVC sued EKU and the Richmond School countersued over the exit penalty. Then on Friday, the EKU Board of Regents approved a $750,000 settlement at a special board meeting. Despite the cost to the university, EKU President David McFaddin doesn’t see the settlement through the lens of winners and losers.
