Ford's expected to meet with OSU athletic director Mike Holder on Monday where a decision will likely be finalized.
This kind of report isn't shocking to anyone who's been following the OSU basketball team this season, as the Cowboys finished with a 12-20 record and failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. Ford holds a 155-111 record since taking over the program eight seasons ago.
Ford has 3 years remaining on a contract that pays him $2.4 million a year. The buyout would stand at $7.2 million, but that may or may not be the final amount if OSU chooses to part ways with him.
