Huggins released a statement earlier on Monday night stating that he did not accept resignation and did not write the statement sent out to the public.

Over the weekend, Huggins’ lawyers wrote a letter to WVU demanding a reinstatement or else they will sue.

Huggins was charged of DUI on June 16 before resigning just 24 hours later. This was the second time in weeks that Huggins put negative light on the University after using an anti-gay slur over a Cincinnati radio station back in May.
