Manhattan, Kansas — Kansas State Athletics and outgoing Men’s Basketball Head Coach Jerome Tang have agreed to a $12 million settlement, according to a recent announcement. The university will pay Tang the sum over the course of the remainder of 2027. The agreement resolves a dispute pertaining to the release of a $18.7 million buyout clause.
Kansas State Athletics Director Gene Taylor expressed gratitude for Tang's contributions to the program, particularly his successful inaugural season. The coach, who presided over a 71-57 record from 2022 to 2026 and led the team to the Elite Eight, was dismissed earlier this year due to post-game remarks following a loss to Cincinnati.
Tang has since returned to his previous employer, Baylor Men’s Basketball, where he serves as an associate head coach. Tang's time at Kansas State spanned 19 seasons before his transition to K-State, and he will continue with the Bears until the 2030-31 season.
