The Columbus Dispatch newspaper in Columbus, Ohio, published over the weekend the results of a six-month long investigation into the athletic departments of the 119 colleges and universities in the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A).

The newspaper sought the release of information on things such as who accompanied the team on flights, who received complimentary tickets and details surrounding NCAA violations. Sixty-nine of the schools provided the information, though many hid behind privacy laws.

Kansas University was one of 14 schools that the newspaper said was effectively able to close access to public information by making it unaffordable.

KU wanted a fee of $328 for the information that most of the universities provided for free or for a charge of $40 or less, the newspaper reported. KU's fee was the eighth-highest fee requested by any of the schools surveyed.
