Marshall gone. That is one outcome I didn't see happening when Wichita State left the MVC.

In other words, Marshall could have sued the hell out of them and made the scandal far, far worse.

Marshall reported to Boatright so given all of this, you'd think he might be in some trouble too. But he reports to the president and interim presidents don't generally make major decisions. They're about day-to-day and keeping the train on the tracks. Seat warmers really.

So it'll take a while for all of this to sort out. In the meantime, Marshall assistant Isaac Brown will take over, which makes sense because he's been running the team during the investigation.

It'll take a while for all of this to sort out and then there's the pandemic to consider.

When Wichita State does hire someone, they may be limited by the size of Marshall's buyout and it's not clear if the major donors, including Charles Koch, will continue to be generous.

On the bright side, this is clearly a basketball school with intense and dedicated fans and it will draw a lot of interest.
