Just when the HQ was having fun with an AD who didn't like TV reporters...
In the wake of possible blackmail and ticket scandals, Kansas AD Lew Perkins informed the school ((and anyone willing to listen)) that he's stepping down in 2011- September 4, 2011 to be precise.
Here's the press conference with KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little...

Remember our favorite run-in with a reporter this week...???
KSHB-TV/NBCActionNews' Beth Vaughn got to stand in front of a monitor to do her story this evening...
The timing was coincidental, eh...???
And, as a sidebar... What about the Kansas City tourism folks who are losing, possibly, the Big 12 tournament...??? You think AEG will like that for the Sprint Center...???

Lew Perkins Is Not A Happy Man
Especially when reporters ask about his current ticket scandal investigation, blackmail ideas surrounding Perkins, and the idea that KU could be left out of the Big 12 expansion-transfer plans...

Gill Informs Players Of Move To KU
((HT: WDAF-TV/Fox 4))
Turner Gill met with U-Buffalo players Sunday morning, and informed them that he's leaving to coach at Kansas. UB AD Warde Manuel also attended the meeting and talked about replacing Gill.
Manuel has named Danny Barrett interim head coach while a national search process commences. Barrett has head coaching experience in the Canadian Football League, so the transition won't be too difficult a task.
OSG HQ, however, doesn't know the dynamic between Barrett and the players as opposed to Gill and the players. That'll be the only question mark...
“Today is a day that creates many mixed feelings,” said Manuel. “I am saddened to see Turner leave us as he has done an absolutely fantastic job of building our football program to unprecedented success upon a value system that we can all be proud of. That being said, I am extremely happy for Turner and his family that they have been granted this opportunity.”
“Moving forward I have every confidence that Danny Barrett will provide great leadership for our program while we search for our next head coach,” said Manuel. “We will begin a national search immediately to find the best person and football coach to keep us competing for championships on an annual basis while focusing on the efforts of our student-athletes in the classroom. Coach Barrett is a candidate for the position and is the only internal staff member that will be considered.”

Mangino Resigns From Kansas
((HT: KC Star/McCollough))
Early Thursday evening in Lawrence, Kansas KU Athletic Director Lew Perkins announced that Mark Mangino was no longer head coach at the school.
Mangino has been under investigation since mid-November for allegations involving mistreatment of players- including verbal and physical abuse.
Perkins said in a news release that the investigation was complete but that he would not release documents related to the review or the settlement that the two parties have reached because of legal reasons.
Three Mangino assistants take over head coaching duties.
“We appreciate the eight years that Mark has given to rebuilding our football program,” Perkins said in the statement. “He and I have reached a mutually satisfactory agreement that reflects the appreciation we have for his efforts on behalf of Kansas Football.
Mangino’s contract states that if he was for cause, he gets nothing from the remainder of his deal. If KU fired Mangino without cause, then Mangino would be owed around $6.6 million (the $6 million owed on the contract plus a $600,000 buyout).
Thus the settlement of somewhere in between...
This was, probably, the beginning of the end back in 2007...
Here's instant analysis from Joe Schad of the four-letter...
