After a three-year legal battle and four weeks on trial, former San Diego State women’s basketball coach Beth Burns was awarded $1.35 million for past and future economic losses and $2 million for punitive damages by the San Diego Superior Court for wrongful termination.

Burns was fired in April of 2013 following an internal investigation made by the university chronicling a history of allegedly mistreated subordinates.
