Brownback rule out for K-State job after Schulz departure
Gov. Sam Brownback dismissed talk of pursuing the Kansas State University presidency after President Kirk Schulz leaves. He said he is focused on state government and hopes Bill Snyder remains K-State football coach for years. Schulz will become Washington State president in June with a five year contract. The Board of Regents will appoint an interim and, later, a replacement. Brownback is a K-State alumnus and former senator.
