Details related to the settlement between Houston Nutt and Ole Miss reportedly have been learned.

In a report by the Daily Journal’s Parrish Alford on Monday, it is revealed that the former Rebels coach did not receive the $500,000 he sought from the school. (He did, however, gain the apology he wanted.)

Check out more from Alford’s report, which was developed after a Freedom of Information request.

The agreement states that neither side will sue the other and that each side will pay its own bills.

Nutt “discharges and releases” all claims including “compensatory and punitive damages, attorney fees and expenses and all costs of litigation.”

The university agrees to the same.

The public statements on behalf of Nutt and the university that were released by the university appear in the document, and both sides agree not to discuss the settlement with media “either directly or indirectly” other than to acknowledge its resolution.

It’s interesting to learn that Nutt wasn’t awarded the money he wanted, and that each side will pay its own bills. It’s probably best for both parties that this episode is behind Nutt and the school.

Meanwhile, Ole Miss awaits the final results of an NCAA investigation that has lingered over the program.
