Kansas athletic director Jeff Long resigned Wednesday, less than two days after the school mutually parted with Les Miles amid sexual misconduct allegations dating to the football coach’s time at LSU and one day after Long vowed he would lead the Jayhawks’ search for a replacement.
Kurt Watson will serve as the interim athletic director as the school searches for both an AD and football coach.
“We will immediately begin our search for a new athletics director. I will lead the process with the assistance of a search firm and four alumni advisors, each of whom have experience in collegiate athletics,” Kansas Chancellor Douglas Girod said in a statement. “My hope is to have a new athletics director in place within the next few weeks.”

She hasn't racked up enough debt at PSU yet.

College basketball has to be worse.

The man who hired Bobby Petrino, John L., and Bret Bielema at Arkansas.

His best hire was Pornstache at ASWP.

How KU ever hired him is beyond me. Guess I should know better.

Sandy to Kansas??

It’s funny that Les Miles’ behavior while at LSU has apparently caused the KU AD to resign but the cheating that occurred under his watch at Kansas basketball (with major violations charged by the ncaa- now in a 2 year delay IIRC) was totally ok and didn’t require him to resign.

I posted yesterday that he was on the hot seat even before this debacle and no coach would want to come here with Long's precarious situation. Yes, how about how they tolerated the hoops cheating??

That may be true- or it may not be. It's probably like comparing the Gambinos to the Genoveses

Yup, Miles and Long would both still be there if they didn’t both suck at their jobs. Easy way for Kansas to get rid of both of them while appearing woke.

An acquaintance of mine from college is the Assistant AD in charge of Compliance at Kansas. I keep checking the news to see if anything happened to him too....
