Gillispie Seeks Change Of Venue
Former University of Kentucky men's basketball coach Billy Gillispie has requested that a lawsuit involving the contract or "memorandum of understanding" filed against him be moved to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky in Frankfort. U.K.'s lawsuit came after Gillispie sued the U.K. Athletics Association, alleging breach of contract and fraud. Now, at issue, is whether the memorandum signed by Gillispie and Mitch Barnhart is a formal contract, who actually employed him and whether he is owed $6 million.
