An investigation by the Tennessee Comptroller’s Office, working in conjunction with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, has resulted in the sentencing of Jason Moorman, a former King University coach, after investigators determined he misappropriated at least $38,895.96 in university funds.

The investigation began after university officials reported questionable purchases at the university located in Bristol.

Moorman, who served as King University’s women’s wrestling coach and held additional roles including assistant athletic director and bass fishing coach, used university credit cards to make unauthorized personal purchases between 2017 and 2024. These purchases included personal items such as home décor, clothing, electronics, groceries, pet supplies, restaurant meals, hotel stays, alcohol, and travel expenses.

Moorman resigned from King University on October 18, 2024.
