Lew Perkins was forced out at KU?

Did the University of Kansas force athletics director Lew Perkins into an early retirement? Sports By Brooks has a source that says the answer is a definite yes.

Perkins resigned, “effective immediately,” yesterday. Has anything good ever been attached to those words?

Perkins’ resignation came just days after the Turner Gill era of Jayhawk football opened with an embarrassing

6-3 loss to North Dakota State. But that’s apparently not the reason for Perkins’ early exit (he was slated to retire next September).
