KU Athletics board approves smaller 2021 budget
The Kansas Athletics board approved a 2021 operating budget of 100.9 million dollars, about 5.1 million less than the current year amid COVID-19 uncertainties. CFO Pat Kaufman cited proactive cuts and a 775,000 dollar year end surplus as factors, with Chancellor Girod noting no university bailout. Long expressed cautious optimism about fall play and 90 percent football season ticket renewals. Athletes will be tested for COVID-19 and antibodies upon return to campus. The meeting did not address a Beaty lawsuit or hold private sessions.
