The University of Kansas fired athletics director Jeff Long on Wednesday, a person with knowledge of the matter told USA TODAY Sports.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the school had not made an official announcement.
The move comes less than 48 hours after the school parted ways with football coach Les Miles in the wake of damaging investigative reports about his personal conduct while he was at Louisiana State University.
Long had hired Miles shortly after arriving at Kansas in 2018, leaning on a long personal relationship they had going back to the 1980s when they both worked at Michigan.
