Former Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie filed a request to move Kentucky’s lawsuit against him from state court to federal court, according to an Associated Press report.
After Gillispie sued Kentucky for breach of contract relating to his termination in March, the university countersued. Gillispie filed his suit in Texas, while the university sent its case to a Kentucky state court.
As the two sides wrangle through the legal process, the debate of jurisdiction will be only the first step toward resolving an ugly divorce.
