More than three weeks after the Orange Bowl and almost two months after the Kansas-Missouri football game in Arrowhead Stadium, the Kansas University Athletic Department still has not provided details about revenue and expenses connected to the two games.
The public is interested in how much KU made on the two games, and the delay in releasing that information is unreasonable. Other schools who participated in BCS bowls have long since released financial information, and two months seems more than ample to receive figures on the KU-MU game.
KU officials contend that a “standard contract provision” gives the Kansas City Chiefs organization 60 days (which now has passed) to complete its financial report on the KU-MU game and continue to say data on both games will be available “soon.”
It’s already too late for that information to be released in a timely fashion. If athletic officials have nothing to hide, the financial details from the Orange Bowl and Arrowhead Stadium should have been released weeks ago.
