per Shipley:
The grievance process of fired University of Minnesota wrestling coach J Robinson is moving toward an appeals hearing through the U’s Office for Conflict Resolution.
The U is in the process of empanelling a three-person committee to hear arguments from Robinson’s legal team and the athletics department, Robinson’s contract adviser James Bock said Monday. Athletics director Mark Coyle fired Robinson on Sept. 8 for what he characterized as a failure to cooperate with a school investigation into drug use and sales among his wrestlers
Robinson, 70, was dismissed with cause — meaning the U deemed itself free of any financial obligation — for his role. If it’s determined the school did not have cause to fire Robinson, he likely would be owed a buyout of more than $500,000. He was under contract through 2020 and owed roughly $150,000 a year in base salary and additional compensation.
