On Monday, it was announced that Ole Miss and Houston Nutt had settled a lawsuit filed by the former coach.
In the statements released by the school on Monday, an apology was issued to Nutt, which is one of the things he wanted all along.
Financial terms were not released, but it does appear that this matter is now over, though the damage it did to the school was immense.
After news of the settlement broke, reactions poured in on social media, with everyone having their say on the matter.
Here are some of the top reactions to Monday’s big news out of Oxford:

Most parties will see this as an L for both sides. Ole Miss looks bad. Nutt looks bad for going in on Freeze, unlikely to get HC job again.

Wait, so Houston Nutt got Hugh Freeze to resign and then got Ole Miss to issue a public apology? Bravo. pic.twitter.com/1V9cOqxZn0

If Ole Miss apologizes months ago, Freeze is still the coach, doesn’t get saddled with hundreds of FOIAs, keeps embarrassing info private https://t.co/Tzl3ICnznz

If not for Arrogance & incompetence would have been settled in April or May https://t.co/kuFURuEY8Z

Proving defamation is hard to do. Very hard. Congrats to Houston Nutt on his settlement. Maybe ppl will learn not to flap their jaws.

Houston Nutt is that ex-girlfriend that calls you a couple of years after you're broken up, demanding you give her back a Third Eye Blind CD https://t.co/cUIwppikpO
