Wichita State launched an investigation into Marshall's conduct on Oct. 9.
Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall resigned from the program on Tuesday amid allegations of verbal and physical abuse.
Marshall will be paid $7.75 million over the next six years in a contract settlement, per Wichita State.
Wichita State launched an investigation into Marshall's conduct on Oct. 9. Marshall has been accused of numerous instances of physical and verbal abuse of players both at Wichita State and Winthrop.
“Our student-athletes are our primary concern,” said Wichita state director of athletics Darron Boatright said in a statement on Tuesday. “While the university acknowledges the success of the basketball program under Coach Marshall, this decision is in the best interest of the university, its student athletes and the WSU community."
Marshall, 57, won 331 games in his 13 years at Wichita State. The Shockers reached the Final Four with Marshall in 2013 but have not won a tournament game since 2017.
“This was a difficult decision, but one I feel was necessary for my family, the university and, most importantly, the student-athletes,” Marshall said in a statement. “I remain grateful for my years spent at Wichita State. I wish to thank the coaches, student-athletes, the university, the community, and all of Shocker Nation for their unending dedication, support and loyalty."
Assistant coach Isaac Brown has been named Wichita State's interim head coach ahead of the 2020-21 season.
