KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY

Kansas State Athletic Director John Currie announced Thursday night that the university is currently in the process of phasing out annual student fee allocation to intercollegiate athletics. In a letter to the University published Thursday night, Currie mentioned that the growth of Big 12 Conference revenues and careful fiscal management, they have been able to eliminate this funding source, enabling these dollars to be reinvested into critical academic needs across campus. This year, fiscal year 2016, we are the lone athletics program in the state of Kansas and one of only approximately 25 in the country to operate with no direct or indirect university funding or state support. – Hays Post. Read More.
