Oregon State Sues Former AD Todd Stansbury For Breach Of Contract

Oregon State has filed suit against former AD Todd Stansbury for "breach of contract," alleging that he has "failed to fulfill terms of the buyout" he owed the school after leaving to become Georgia Tech AD in '16, according to Ken Goe of the Portland OREGONIAN. Court documents said that when Stansbury resigned in December '16, he "owed OSU $2,107,778" (Portland OREGONIAN, 12/21). In Atlanta, Ken Sugiura noted Stansbury "stopped making payments on money owed the school as part of his buyout for leaving before his contract was completed." Court documents said that Stansbury had been "making payments through July before stopping." Stansbury left his position at OSU a "little more than a year into the job," even though he "signed a five-year contract" in '15 (ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, 12/22).
