Kansas chancellor Douglas Girod said Monday night that a report of KU cheerleader hazing and also the FBI probe involving college basketball and potential payments to Jayhawks basketball players had no impact on his decision to fire athletic director Sheahon Zenger.
Girod, during a brief interview with The Star at Union Station in Kansas City, was also asked if football was the primary factor in deciding to let Zenger go.
“Football’s most certainly the most prominent challenge that we have right now,” Girod said. “But it’s also getting excitement behind a vision, getting a fanbase moving behind a vision to really take athletics to the next level.
