Kansas University’s athletic department has added still another administrator.
Although no announcement has been made, Ben Kirtland is listed in the new KU football media guide as an associate athletic director for development.
According to his bio in the media guide, Kirtland will assist and support with fund raising, ticketing and the implementation of the newly launched priority points system.
Kirtland is a former hockey coach and developmental official at UConn where he worked with KU athletic director Lew Perkins. A former president of the Jimmy V Foundation, Kirtland has been a private consultant for the last four years, helping establish the Dale Earnhardt and the Hockey Coaches Care foundations.
The addition of Kirtland gives the KU athletic department nine people listed as associate ADs.
