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.
