WILLIAMSPORT-Penn State and its former football defensive coordinator have settled their federal lawsuit in which the university claimed Bob Shoop owed it $891,856.

Penn State Friday issued a statement that states Shoop recognizes obligations under his employment contract with the Nittany Lions but terms of the settlement will remain confidential.

"Both Coach Shoop and Penn State are pleased to bring this matter to an amicable resolution," the statement continues.

"Coach Shoop wishes continued success for the Penn State football program and remains grateful for the support he received from the coaching staff, support staff and the fans while he was at Penn State.

"Penn State recognizes that Coach Shoop was an integral part of the coaching staff during his tenure at Penn State and wishes him the best in his future endeavors.

Notice of the voluntary dismissal was filed Friday in U.S. Middle District Court but did not include any details.

The last court filing before Friday was the Oct. 5 report that mediation had failed.

Penn State contended Shoop breached his contract because a clause stated if he resigned before it expired on Feb. 15, 2018, he had to pay the university liquidated damages of 50 percent of his base pay $891,856.

Since he had two years remaining on his contract when he resigned, Penn State claimed he owed a total of $891,856.

Despite written requests, Shoop has not made any payments and through counsel has indicated a refusal to do so, the court complaint stated.

According to the contract that was included in court documents, Shoop received an additional $150,000 on Feb. 15, 2015, and would have gotten like amounts if still at Penn State on the same dates in 2016 and 2017. He also had use of a car and cell phone.

His memorandum of understanding with Tennessee, also among court documents, listed his base pay as $245,000 and supplemental pay of $905,000.

Shoop had countersued Penn State claiming he left the Nittany Lions because of "intolerable" working conditions and the university breached his contract.

He said he experienced "a hostile, negative work environment," but did not go into further detail in the court documents.

He claims the "intolerable" conditions began shortly after he signed his contract in 2015.

Shoop sought unspecified monetary damages contending he had been constructively discharged, terminated or compelled to leave.
