Bill Yeoman, former Houston football coach, reached a contract settlement with the university, although nothing has been officially signed, the chairman of the university systems board of regents said.

Yeoman is in the third year of a four-year, $412,000 contract. He was reassigned to the fund-raising job after the 1986 season, when the NCAA began investigating his football program.

Last December, when Houston was placed on probation, a provision of the penalties called for Yeoman’s suspension from fund-raising activities.
