Kansas Athletics: Coaches and administrators contracts and salaries

KUsports.com and the Lawrence Journal-World requested all of the contracts handed out to employees of Kansas Athletics before Sheahon Zenger was named athletic director in January of 2011. In the review, KUsports.com found that many coaches received extensions shortly before Zenger took over, meaning he had little choice but to keep them — or pay expensive, and in some cases very expensive, buyouts. Below are the coaches, their hire dates, their current salaries and their contracts, when they exist.
