Mangino would be given a 21-day window after his firing to submit a written appeal of his termination to either ku chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little or athletic director Lew Perkins. The appeal would be reviewed by a three-person committee appointed by Gray-Little, comprised of faculty or professional staff employees, one selected by Gray-Little, one selected by Mangino and one agreed upon by both parties. Mangino would have the right to attend committee meetings and have legal counsel.Two of the three committee members would have to rule in favor of the school to uphold the termination for cause. In that case, Mangino would be paid only what he is owed through the date of termination. But if the committee ruled in favor of Mangino, turning the termination for cause into a termination without cause, Mangino would be owed $6.6 million — the remainder of his contract ($2 million per year for three years plus a buyout in the range of $600,000). ku would also have the option of reinstating Mangino as coach.
Lew is going to bring in an M1Abrams tank and run Mangino over with it and then put it in reverse to run over him again . . . this could get ugly because Mangino is going to battle this to the bitter end if he has to.
