Damn.  Going to be interesting to see which is a more catastrophic disaster, Turner Gill or the IRS probe.

It's about to get ugly up in here.......

While one can't say for certain . . . but we've seen the trailers, and it looks like this MIGHT be one hell of a movie headed our way.

They did pay him the $2 million retention bonus that he was not due to collect until next June.

yes they are. Something is up on this. Now ku is going to hire a non athletically friendly AD and be a drag on us once the Big 12 dies again.

Lew, Lew, Lew . . . this could have the makings for one of the greatest "what could have been" stories in history.  But instead the egos and the typical ku way of doing business reared its ugly head again.   Always remember, this is a school that names sports venues after convicted felons and defrocked CEO's (potential convicted Felons).

Lew Perkins was nothing more than a morally corrupt CEO, who had no clue when it came to the non-business side of being AD.  The guy did a great job of increasing KU's athletic budget and upgrading facilities, and KU had quite a bit of success while Lew was AD, but his recent coaching hires leave a lot to be desired, and the athletic program as a whole is headed backwards instead of forwards.  Good riddance.

They were going to do what he wanted.  They are gutless.

Probably a combination of both.  This was essentially a nice way of telling Lew that he's fired.

Good to have you back BMW. The death to ku football would not be as much fun without you (by the way this is for you in case Carson sucks and Gill makes us your Texas hope victory)

Disappointing to look up into the rearview and see the Jayhawk program we shot past a whule back over on the sholder, and on fire.

If Ku rolled up a 30pt win on Sat, Lew would still be playing Rock Band in his office on his donor provided plasma as I type this. 

NDSU really threw a wrench in his victory lap.

I suppose they didn't want a lame duck AD heading their search for a new football coach.

I originally thought TG was safe for next season since Lew was leaving so late.  However, given this development, you may be right.  Get a new guy in with time to find the next coach. 

I swear to fracking god, if they hire Leach out from under us, my head will explode.
