The months-long saga between South Carolina coach Dawn Staley and Missouri AD Jim Sterk has finally come to a resolution.

You may recall, Staley filed a defamation lawsuit against Sterk following a regular season game between South Carolina and Missouri. The Mizzou team was heckled and allegedly spit on at some point during the contest. Following the game, the Mizzou AD made comments suggesting Staley promoted that type of behavior from Gamecock fans. Sterk was later fined by the SEC for making those comments.

On Thursday, it was announced that Sterk has apologized to Staley and she accepted. Sterk also settled with Staley to the tune of $50,000. Staley plans to donate half of the money to charity.

Sterk issued the following statement with the news:

“Following a very spirited and intense game I attended in late January between the nationally ranked Missouri and South Carolina women’s basketball teams, I made comments in a local radio interview that were construed to suggest that Coach Staley promoted the negative experiences of racial epithets and spitting. I do not believe Coach Staley would promote such conduct, and I sincerely apologize to her for those comments.”

Staley also issued a statement:

“I accept his apology and I appreciate the contribution of $25,000 to INNERSOLE, a not for profit organization I co-founded that provides new sneakers to children who are homeless or in need. I’m glad we can share in support of this worthy cause and I look forward to moving past this with a continued spirit but positive competition amongst our programs.”
