KU Athletics Need Big Wins To Justify Big Budget
The Kansas University athletics program faces pressure to translate a roughly 40 million dollar budget into football success and higher overall Big 12 all sports standings. While basketball, volleyball, and soccer contend for titles, football must deliver bigger crowds and better results to sustain renewed fan support and avoid erosion of season-ticket renewals for 2006. In 2004 KU finished 47th in football with 2-6 in the Big 12 North, a record that underscores the urgency for Mangino and staff to beat rival Kansas State and Missouri and climb from the current plateau.
