Fund supporting KU athletes
Coming up with the revenue to support a $3.9 million budget is no easy thing, but the KU athletic department buys it in the Williams Educational Fund.
This year, Frederick and his staff are planning to raise roughly $1.4 million from over 3,500 Williams Fund members.
Money from the Williams Fund is donated by KU alumni and former athletes to finance athletic scholarships. According to Bob Frederick, director of the fund, this year the athletic budget will depend on the Williams Fund for one-third of its revenue.
"In terms of actual dollars, we're one of the top ten state universities in private support of athletics," Frederick said.
Unlike other Big Eight schools, Frederick said KU depends on and receives a good deal of financial support. The school will generate a large revenue at the rate.
For instance, Frederick said that at a school like the University of Missouri, fans who want to sit in the stands between the 40 yard lines at football games must donate cash in addition to paying the ticket price.
"Some of the universities haven't needed those private funds because they collect so much revenue at the gate," he said.
Frederick also said schools like the University of Nebraska, which attracts up to 70,000 fans per game, gave high-priority football seating to fans who included seating for a low-revenue sport, such as women's swimming.
"That won't work for us unless our rate of success increases," he said.
Frederick said the biggest single benefit he could offer Williams Fund

contributors was priority seating and good parking.
"It's our whole lifeblood (the Williams Fund), and obviously we have to be providing the contributors with good seating and parking," he said.
Frederick and his staff also organize a variety of clubs and benefits that increase with the amount of money contributors donate. Benefits for membership in various clubs include priority parking and seating, game room facilities and a forfee access to the Stadium Club for pregame dining.
Club membership is determined by the amount donated annually. "The Jayhawk Club" consists of members who donate between $25 and $99 "Crimson Club" members donate between $250 and $749, and "Executive
Club" members include those who donate over $5,000.
The Williams Fund was organized by three KU alumni, Dick, Skiffer and Williams. They started the fund originally called "The Outland Club," in 1949.
To keep the program running smoothly, Frederick must make sure contributors are pleased with their seating and parking, but he said he would graduate we were happy to contribute regardless of the benefits they received.
"I really think KU has a special attraction for its graduates," he said. "Offhand, I can think of many former athletes who have contributed far and above what their scholarships covered."
