KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger says football is the focus after signing extension

Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger says one of the most exciting parts about his new three-year contract extension — announced by KU Athletics on Sunday — is that he believes good times are ahead.

“I think we have a number of programs that are really hot right now and a couple of others that are on their way,” Zenger told the Star in a phone interview Sunday. “I just look forward to watching the progress over the next couple years.”

Zenger’s new contract, which was officially signed a few weeks ago and increases his base salary from $619,000 to $700,000, will run through June 2021.
