LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — The Texas appeals court handling former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach’s lawsuit against the university over his 2009 firing has set Oct. 7 for oral arguments.
The school is appealing a judge’s ruling that the university waived its right to sovereign immunity in Leach’s breach of conduct claim.
The university fired Leach last Dec. 30, two days after suspending him amid allegations he mistreated a player with a concussion. Leach has denied mistreating receiver Adam James.
