:bwpopcorn:
In February 2009, University of Kansas athletic director Lew Perkins flew from Lawrence to Columbia by executive-style jet to attend the Jayhawks’ men’s basketball game against Missouri.
KU coach Bill Self and his defending national champions took a bus.
Perkins’ expenses that night — $1,983 for the flight and $380 for ground transportation — make up a small piece of the big picture when it comes to his travel.
He charged the athletic department more than $150,000 from July 2008 to May 2010 for 22 flights on university-owned and leased planes, according to a review of Perkins’ travel vouchers by The Kansas City Star.
That figure does not include 23 other private flights Perkins took in that time — seven on boosters’ planes, four cited on Perkins’ vouchers without a cost and 12 that were reported on the expense reports of other KU staffers who joined Perkins on a trip.
Athletic directors at Kansas State University and the University of Missouri don’t board private planes at anywhere near the same rate.
For example, in the 15 months John Currie has been K-State’s athletic director, he has taken 10 private flights costing $28,430, according to records obtained by The Star.
In 2009, when Perkins earned a bonus-laden $4.4 million at KU, he charged the athletic department at least $107,000 for 22 private flights, records show. First-class commercial flights would have cost a fraction of that.
“In my world, time is very important,” Perkins told The Star. “I consider my time very valuable. That’s one of the reasons why we have planes, to help us get places quicker.”
In some cases, Perkins flew when he could have driven in three hours or less — to such cities as Wichita, Hutchinson, Kan., and Lincoln, Neb.
He also flew to such places as New York, Rhode Island and Palm Springs, Calif., usually on the university’s eight-seat Cessna Citation Bravo jet. When he couldn’t get the university’s plane, Perkins chartered one or used planes owned by boosters.
Once, a booster’s plane flew Perkins back from a family visit to New Orleans, where his daughter and son-in-law work for Tulane University.
On many of his trips, Perkins hired car services to get around. He spent about $7,000 on ground transportation in the 22-month period studied by The Star, including $1,827 during two days in New York.
Closer to home, Perkins earlier this year took KU’s jet the 139 miles to Pittsburg, Kan., to attend the funeral of former K-State quarterback Dylan Meier, whose younger brother, Kerry, had just finished his football career at KU.
K-State football coach LHC Bill Snyder also flew in for the funeral, taking a university plane from Manhattan.
Both needed to get from the airport to the funeral. Perkins charged $425 for a car service. Snyder rented a car for $44.
Big Easy confusion
In October 2008, Perkins claimed an $8,800 expense for a trip to New Orleans, indicating on his travel voucher that his purpose was to meet with Rick Dickson, Tulane’s athletic director.
The $8,800 was for flying on a private plane, a King Air turboprop owned by Tim Fritzel, a major KU donor.
When The Star asked Perkins about the trip Wednesday, he said he couldn’t remember the meeting’s topic, and he seemed surprised at the cost, asking, “How did I spend $8,000?”
Perkins said he visited family on the trip. His daughter, Amy Macneill, works at Tulane’s business school. His son-in-law, Brandon Macneill, had landed a job four months earlier working for Dickson as executive associate athletic director.
Perkins acknowledged a personal trip may have been charged accidentally to KU.
“We’ll take care of that immediately,” he said. “We don’t expect the university to pay. … If that’s a screw-up, it’s an honest screw-up.”
After researching further, Perkins called The Star on Thursday with new details.
Perkins said he paid his own way to New Orleans after attending a KU football game in Norman, Okla. While in the Big Easy, he advised Tulane athletic officials about a fundraising campaign. The advice had nothing to do with KU, so it was not business-related, he said. He intended to return to Lawrence on his own dime.
A Tulane official told The Star on Friday that Perkins had dinner at Dickson’s home.
While in New Orleans, an emergency arose at KU that required his immediate attention, Perkins said. Because Perkins needed to return immediately, KU approved his request to fly on Fritzel’s plane, which was sent at $2,000 an hour from Lawrence to New Orleans.
“This was not a boondoggle,” Perkins said. “I had to get back right away.”
Perkins would not elaborate on what required such a quick return.
After the athletic department paid Fritzel for the trip, Fritzel wrote a check to KU for the same amount as a “gift” to the athletic department, records show. Fritzel did not return calls seeking comment.
KU officials said Fritzel handles his transactions that way so he can more easily claim a tax exemption.
Bottom line, Perkins said, is that his emergency ride back to Lawrence cost KU nothing.
But his explanation raises other questions. Why did he portray the trip on an expense voucher as a reimbursable trip to talk with Tulane’s athletic director? Why didn’t he describe it as an emergency return from a family vacation?
Perkins said that he “should probably look at every detail” of travel vouchers but that he lets his administrative assistants handle most of them.
“I am not going to hide that I obviously did some family stuff there, too,” Perkins said. “That’s why initially everything we were doing was on our own.”
Perkins told The Star he has been pulled away from personal time for work emergencies only a few times in his seven years at KU. Even though it’s happened rarely, Perkins said, he didn’t remember the New Orleans situation at first because, “It happened over two years ago.
“I’m old,” said Perkins, who turned 65 in March and plans to retire in September 2011. “I can’t remember yesterday. I wish I could tell you my mind is better than it is.”
This is not the first time Perkins has had to clarify personal versus professional expenses.
Earlier this year, the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission was asked to look into Perkins’ use of $15,000 worth of exercise equipment he had borrowed from a Kansas Athletics Inc. vendor. In an attempt to resolve the issue, Perkins sent a $5,000 personal check to the vendor in April.
State employees are prohibited by law from accepting gifts.
Air options
When Missouri athletic director Mike Alden leaves Columbia for games or meetings, he opts for commercial air travel or he drives.
“We burn up I-70 to KCI and Lambert,” Alden said, referring to Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.
MU does not own a plane. Up to 10 donors provide private planes for Alden and coaches to use and receive credit in the Tiger Scholarship Fund as a gift-in-kind. The fund’s top donors receive priority seating at athletic events.
“If the cost of the flight is $2,000 per hour, the donor receives that amount in the fund,” said Mark Alnutt, MU’s senior associate athletics director for administration.
Alden said he uses private planes fewer than five times a year. He has traveled on donor planes to men’s basketball games, but only when invited on already-planned flights, he said.
Such a trip isn’t considered a gift to Mizzou, and the donor does not get credit toward the Tiger Scholarship Fund.
At KU, boosters who donate flight hours can be reimbursed for the cost or earn priority points for their Williams Educational Fund accounts, which help them secure good seats at KU athletic events.
Perkins has used planes owned by Fritzel and Ren Newcomer, who each give at least $50,000 a year to the Williams Fund.
At K-State, the athletic department uses a university-owned Beechcraft King Air and a leased Cessna CitationJet.
“Typically, we use them for missions that cannot be accomplished without them,” said Currie, K-State’s athletic director. “If there are places that are difficult to get to or the time frame isn’t realistic, we’ll use one.”
But seldom to games. Currie flew the school plane in March when the Wildcats’ men’s basketball team played in the NCAA West Regional in Salt Lake City, with a stop in Greeley, Colo., to visit donors. That trip, which included four other athletic department employees, cost K-State $7,557.
In his first three months on the job, Currie used a university plane five times. He has used it five times since, partly because one year ago American Airlines began daily service from Manhattan to Dallas.
“I can go to a meeting in Dallas for a $300 round-trip ticket,” Currie said. “And it takes me five minutes to get to the airport here. We’re fortunate to have that, and it shows that every school’s situation is a little different.”
Convenient flying
Perkins often traveled on executive planes up to three times a month, records show. On at least five of those flights, Perkins or Perkins and his wife were the only passengers on a six- or eight-seat plane.
Perkins said it should be noted that he often travels with other athletic department employees or donors. In those cases, it is not just his airfare that is being covered.
As part of Perkins’ employment agreement, he can fly first class on KU business, but he rarely does so, according to records studied by The Star.
Once, Perkins flew on US Airways for $1,883 to Phoenix for the “Fiesta Frolic,” an annual golf retreat for college football officials. Another time, he flew on American Airlines for $720 from a KU baseball game in Raleigh, N.C., to Dallas for a Big 12 Conference meeting.
He returned to Lawrence from Dallas aboard a university plane. The cost: $3,397.
“Going commercial is an option,” Perkins said. “But there’s a lot of places we can’t get to on commercial flights. You can miss flights, all those things. Please understand: I don’t look at it as a luxury. It’s just a convenience.”
The cost difference can be significant. Consider some of Perkins’ trips:
•September 2008, Big 12 board meeting in Grapevine, Texas, which abuts Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Cost: $10,300 on a university plane, plus $128 in landing fees. A first-class ticket would have been about $850.
•October 2008, Basketball Hall of Fame board meeting in Indianapolis. Cost: $5,373 on a university plane. A first-class ticket: about $900.
•December 2008, National Football Foundation Awards ceremony in New York. Cost: $13,000 on a university plane, plus $564 for a car service. A first-class ticket: about $950.
On those three examples alone, the cost difference exceeded $26,000.
Perkins’ desire to fly charter even extends to his pets. He acknowledged to The Star that he once chartered Fritzel’s plane to fly to North Carolina to pick up a dog he had purchased. Perkins said he reimbursed Fritzel personally.
Donors are at the center of many of Perkins’ KU-related trips.
When Perkins attended a donor golf outing in January 2009 in Palm Springs, Calif., the flight cost the athletic department $22,000.
“It’s donor cultivation,” said Sean Lester, a KU associate athletic director. “It’s part of our business.”
Jim Marchiony, another associate athletics director, explained it this way:
“Walk around KU facilities right now and you’ll see how important donor cultivation is. And compare what you see today with what was here seven years ago.”
Indeed, KU has modernized under Perkins’ tenure, and much of that is because of success in fundraising. KU’s football team trains in a $31 million practice facility, and in 2009 the university completed $42 million in renovations and additions to Allen Fieldhouse.
Yet some donors have complained recently about ticketing problems at KU events. Several Williams Fund and KU ticket office employees resigned earlier this year after federal officials began investigating millions of dollars worth of missing tickets.
Perkins, who will be due a $600,000 retention payment if he remains athletic director until June 30, 2011, said his travel is all about supporting KU athletes, like the ones who won the 2008 Orange Bowl in football and the men’s basketball national championship.
Perkins likes to attend every basketball game. During a three-week stretch of the 2008-09 season, he took private planes to games at Iowa State University, the University of Nebraska and MU.
“The team buses or drives to Iowa State, it’s a five-hour drive each way,” Perkins said. “I can get in and leave right away. It definitely is, from a business standpoint, a time-saver for me.”
To Perkins, it is a question of how valuable one’s time is.
“That’s just the price of doing business,” he said.

:lol:

I can't believe he's 65. He looks and acts more like 85.
-
MU does not own a plane.
pfffffft

My God this is amazing. :lol:

expected nothing less from Don Perkins
-
hey bmw how does lew's dick taste?
-
Lew's living like Vinnie Chase.
-
There is NOTHING that he is gaining from flying to Columbia from Lawrence, besides status.
-
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
wow lew is a lazy fat eff
-
Flying from Lawrence to Columbia on a private jet. TFM.
-
I'm speechless. Flying to MU? come on now.
-
I like it when throws his subordinates under the bus to deflect cuplability when he gets caught in a lie.
Perkins said that he “should probably look at every detail” of travel vouchers but that he lets his administrative assistants handle most of them.
-
Curie could take some lessons.
-
All this tells me that we are amateurs at this college athletic thing. If Perkins is half as clever in doing athletic dept deals as he is in his expense reporting, there's no accident in him getting ku in that Orange Bowl over Moo.
In the 60's there was the "missile gap". We are looking down the yawning maw of a "Lew gap".
-
well, to be fair, Lew probably requires 2 seats on commercial flights.
-
“I’m old,” said Perkins, who turned 65 in March and plans to retire in September 2011. “I can’t remember yesterday. I wish I could tell you my mind is better than it is.”

Man do they turn on their own after they are out. First Reesing now Lew. What a garbage university and fan base.

Apparently Lew is old and senile.
The other thing I always like is the fact that Lew always tries to paint a picture that he went out and raised all the money himself for their facilities improvements, when in reality he borrowed nearly $40 million dollars. Nothing wrong with borrowing, it's just that Lew always makes it sound like it was the sweat of his big fat hairy senile brow out working the boosters that made it all happen.

what a badass. wonder what kind of dog.

The other funny thing is . . . Tardville still believes that Lew runs an $80 million dollar athletic department. Lew runs a $65 million dollar athletic department that is operating in the red.
Gotta love the guy though . . . he's taken ku for a ride that even Ron Prince has to admire. Doesn't know anything, put them $40 million dollars deeper in debt, failed to "understand" that massive money laundering/ticket fraud was taking place just down the hallway . . . and he lived like a king while doing it, and will walk away with millions in his pocket.
Now many in Tardville will understand why Lew is only somewhat liked at 1 out of 3 of his previous employment stops.
-
Oh, I forgot to mention that ku's fund raising is down $8 million dollars for FY 2010 as compared to FY 2008. In a Fiscal Year where ku was a Big 12 North Favorite and a Final Four Favorite.
From FY 2008 to FY 2009 total revenues were down $18 million dollars for ku athletics, net revenue was down something like $15 million dollars. Tardville was convinced that FY 2008 Gross Revenues would be the norm . . . not the exception.

He has to. No way he'd pull the retirement stunt (a month after a large bonus kicks in) and also let Larry Sink walk away from a $800k judgment.

KU's athletic budget was less than $30 million before Perkins took over. Several years later and that number has more than doubled, while KU continues to compete for national titles in basketball and continues to break attendance records in football. You can spin away all you want, 'Pad, but the bottom line is that KU is in much better shape now financially than it was before Perkins took over.
-
You point has virtually nothing to do with anything I said Ben.
Glad to see you pulled another "orginal" thought straight out of the Tardville vat of Kool-Aid though.
Plus, don't bother mentioning that ku athletics has one of the most bloated, overpaid bureaucracies of any BCS school athletic department.

This calls for another investigative report by the goEMAW blog.

I know this gal who is a ku biz school grad who is a bank teller in Lawrence. I emailed her about Lew possibly being emaw. She just sent me a text that when he brought his $4million bonus check in to deposit, he endorsed it in PURPLE ink. :surprised:
-
They should leave Lew alone.
Currie doesn't need the private jet as often because he's got 3 daily non-stops to DFW (Big 12 hdqtrs) 5 minutes from his office door (now with a daily non stop to Chicago) . . . Lew's got a 65-70 minute drive through rolling corn fields from fly over country to MCI.

I just keep picturing a Pacman Jones party minus the reported violence.

The 22 flights with information that is MIA were likely recruits. Embarrassing to have to load up kids at KCI and drive them an hour into fly over country.
Mangino would cheat like that, Gill would just pray that the recruits see the light. Self would definitely be on board with illegal recruiting like that.

I'm glad you guys are able to get a glimpse of what it's like to have a big-time athletic program. I'm sure Currie is taking notes as we speak.

Oh crap, it's about to get all passive-aggressive up in this bitch.

Yeah, records destruction is part of SOP in Lawrence.

Lew is amazing.
He is able to take their wallets and receive thanks for doing so.
Truly an amazing individual.

Big times don't get caught. Ku is more SMU.

to be that big time with a certain school to the west trying to burn it down ... amazing. truly

Dude, we were light years ahead of ku in private jet use . . . in fact, so far ahead the NCAA outlawed it.
Thankfully and unlike ku, we've been plucked out of the ranks of corn/wheat belt flyover territory in a bold and frankly daring fashion.

If the DOJ/IRS release their report prior to Lew's "retirement" . . . he'll be gone within a week.
But again, can't really blame the guy, trying to run a D1 athletic department from the middle of fly over country can't be easy.
It's not easy, especially when you've got a third-tier university to the west who wants nothing more than to see your athletic department crumble.
theres no reason to bash on washburn like that

No offense to beems and/or any of the goEMAW cargo short crew, but I love how we go back and forth about athletic programs (KU apparently second in the nation in funding and facilities) while numerous univ's make fun of us both about getting PumPed (fat guys in CA?) for getting hardons for a million here and a few hundo there. :love: :pbj:
