The lawsuit between Oklahoma State and Texas offensive line coach Joe Wickline could soon be coming to an end.

Texas vice president for legal affairs, Patti Ohlendorf, has reached out to Oklahoma State attorneys with the idea of settling the dispute between Wickline and the Cowboys, according to a report from Scout.

The lawsuit, which was filed by Oklahoma State in October 2014 for close to $600,000, stems from a clause in Wickline's contract with Oklahoma State saying he could not leave the school to make a lateral move. Wickline had to take a job with "play-calling duties," something the Cowboys contested Wickline did not have despite his co-offensive coordinator title with Texas.

Oklahoma State claimed that Shawn Watson, who, at the time, had the title of assistant head coach for offense, was the team's play-caller. After the first game of the 2015 season, both Wickline and Watson were relieved of their play-calling duties by head coach Charlie Strong in favor of assistant coach Jay Norvell.

Per scout, citing unnamed sources, the lawsuit is expected to be settled for around $300,000.

Both parties have attempted to settle the lawsuit before, but the efforts were unsuccessful. Recently, Oklahoma State had asked for depositions from Texas head Coach Charlie Strong and six other Longhorns, including a player. Strong, in March of 2015, had already gone through a lengthy deposition in the case.

If the case does not get settled, a trial date has been set for March 8 in Oklahoma's Payne County.

Texas interim men's athletic director Mike Perrin called the lawsuit "a distraction" on Saturday.
