I always get beat to the punch...I just posted this on the basketball board since I figured their bball team had more run ins with the law (getting "unarreasted" in some cases.)
Considering the criminal elements on the men's sports teams at university of Kansas, pretty good move to hire a former cop. $120k seems a little high but Lew doesn't scrimp when it's ku's borrowed money.
