KU's Perkins bets on money to lift teams at Allen Fieldhouse
Kansas University's new athletic director Lew Perkins pushed a donation driven seating policy at Allen Fieldhouse. From mid May to June 30 donors reportedly contributed between 5 million and 7 million dollars. The plan yields double points for donations, aiming to raise the Williams Fund well above its 5.5 million dollar normal. The impact on fan atmosphere and on actual team success remains to be seen as the campaign unfolds.
