This is the press release from KU
LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Mark Mangino has resigned his position as head football coach at the University of Kansas , effective immediately.
“We appreciate the eight years that Mark has given to rebuilding our football program,” Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins said. “He and I have reached a mutually satisfactory agreement that reflects the appreciation we have for his efforts on behalf of Kansas Football.
“As you know we have recently completed an internal review of the football program. I have been instructed by legal counsel that we cannot release any documents related to this investigation, nor any details regarding our settlement agreement. The investigation and settlement agreement will remain part of Mark’s personnel records.
“Mark has brought much success to the football program at KU,” Perkins continued. “He can leave with confidence that he has turned the football program around and set it on a path to even greater future success.
“As always, our principal concern remains our student-athletes. Coaches David Beaty, Clint Bowen and Bill Miller will share interim head-coaching duties. I have the utmost confidence in their abilities and dedication.”
Perkins said his focus is now the search for a new head coach. “I know people will float a number of names out there,” he said, “but I will not comment on any potential candidates. I can only tell you I am certain that great things lie ahead for our Kansas football program. There’s a great buzz surrounding Kansas Football; we have great fans and facilities, and we’ve demonstrated a strong commitment to the success of our program.”
There will be a whole lot more room now on the sideline!
ReplyDeleteCity questions red donation bins
ReplyDeleteFrom the Traveler:
I have been seeing these bins all around town. I even saw one out on the Gueda Corner and old highway! I thought that was an odd place for one, then I read the article in the Traveler about it, I figure that is where the one that was at the northend went!!!! I bet they have a hard time finding them all when they go to pick them up! I find it very deceptive to paint them red and make them look like a Salvation Army donation box. Tsk Tsk...And ah, James sorry I know this is off topic...

Red box bins that mysteriously appeared at Arkansas City businesses this past weekend have city officials scratching their heads.
The bins were put there by a Tulsa-based company called American Recyclers and they are labeled to indicate that clothing items placed in them go to a charity called Child Start.
A representative of Child Start said today that American Recyclers does donate to Child Start, but does not donate the items it receives. Instead, it donates a certain amount each month depending on how many bins it has set up.
But the city's code enforcement officer thinks the company might have violated city codes by placing them without contacting the city first.
"As far as I'm concerned, they are not following procedures that the city has had in place for many years," said Matt Rowland, director of building, planning and code enforcement. "It is their responsibility to contact us. They are setting up businesses."
In Ark City, seven of the bins were spotted, Rowland said today. One of the bins, on South Summit Street, is on a sidewalk, which is a right-of-way violation, he said.
Rowland said he plans to write a letter to American Recyclers asking them to contact the city about this and other possible violations.
Mike Groves and his brother Phil are owners of the North End store and service station at North Summit and Skyline Avenue, where one of the recycling bins was placed.
