Kansas AD Perkins to retire
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
06/10/2010 -
Lawrence, KS (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The University of Kansas announced Thursday
its athletics director of the past seven years, Lew Perkins, will retire
effective September 4, 2011.
The revelation comes in the midst of a huge shift in the college landscape, as
Colorado has announced its intentions to leave the Big 12 Conference for the
Pac-10, while Nebraska is expected to bolt for the Big Ten as early as Friday,
causing many to question the viability of the Big 12 going forward.
The Jayhawks have won the past six Big 12 regular season championships in
men's basketball.
"I have loved my time here at the University of Kansas and I will continue
leading Kansas athletics over the course of the next year," Perkins said. "At
this time, my greatest priority is working on conference alignment issues, and
as I've committed to the chancellor, I will work tirelessly on these efforts.
Conference alignment is the biggest challenge we have before us as an
athletics department and an institution."
Under Perkins, the Kansas athletics budget has more than doubled from $27
million to $55 million.
The highlight of his tenure was the 2008 NCAA men's basketball title, but the
past few months have been mired in controversy, which includes a five-year
ticket scandal that is currently being investigated by federal investigators,
the tumultuous release of head football coach Mark Mangino that resulted in a
$3 million settlement, and allegations of a former KU employee regarding an
improper exchange of exercise equipment for preferential seating and
irregularities in the school's drug-testing program.
Perkins, who was the head of athletics at the University of Connecticut for 13
years prior to taking over at Kansas, was cleared of the latter charge on
Wednesday, as an investigation ordered by chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little
found no evidence to substantiate the claims.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
