With a potential investigation surrounding Kansas head football coach Mark Mangino surrounding an alleged poking incident of a player, KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little issued a statement this morning throwing her full support of athletic director Lew Perkins.
Responding to a "baseless media report" Grey-Little issued a statement via the University's sports information department, stating that she had "confidence" in Perkins.
"The notion that the university is conducting a review of Lew Perkins is false and completely unfounded. I am confident in the athletics director and his management team's ability to administer our athletics program in the highly capable and professional manner for which they are known. The review of the football program is consistent with the process outlined in Coach Mark Mangino's contract. I encourage everyone to wait until this process is completed before drawing any conclusions."
