Bowl games mean more than fame and a vacation
Schools profit from bowl bids
By Kristi Fogler
Kansan staff writer
Today, post-season college football bowl games mean more than national exposure and a trip for fans and players to some place like Florida, California or Hawaii. To many teams and conferences, it means big payoffs and more money.
The $750,000 that Kansas will receive for going to the Aloha Bowl may sound big, but it is not when compared to other bowls. The money might pay only for the cost to send the team, coaches, cheerleaders and band members to Honolulu, said John Hadl, assistant athletic director.

es. The Athletic Department may run into additional costs if the almost 8,000 tickets given to Kansas by the bow's organizers are not sold. It will cost at least $482,000 to send the Jayhawks to Hawaii.
The department will net at most $268,000 for Kansas' participation, according to Hadd's estimates. In fact, Kansas also will receive money from the Big Eight Conference's participation in the Orange Bowl. Each Big Eight school will get about $350,000 when the conference champion, either Nebraska or Colorado, plays in the Orange Bowl.
There is speculation that Colorado may go to the Fiesta Bowl. If Colorado does, the payoff is $3 million per team. Colorado would deduct team expenses from that amount and turn the rest over to the conference which would divide the remaining money equally among all eight teams, said Carl James,
none of the other Big Eight schools will profit from from one team going to Hawaii because of the lower payoff.
Nebraska spent about $1 million just on travel expenses for the Orange Bowl last year, said Gary Fourier, assistant athletic director for business affairs at Nebraska.
Fourieraker the Orange Bowl was one of the more expensive bowls because of its national prominence. The bigger the bowl, the more university officials and VIPS a team needs to bring, he said. For example, the entire Nebraska football band, which has about 200 members, attended the Orange Bowl, but Kansas is paying only for a smaller pep band of about 30 Marching Jayhawks.
"It's really for the players, coaches and fans," he said. "It's for the people who made this thing happen. Besides it's prestige, it's
The trip to Honolulu is not about money, Hadl said.

Green takes Kansas coaching to Oregon basketball program
By David Dorsey
Kansan sportswriter
the men's basketball team's sideline has a different look this season after the departures of former assistant coaches Jerry Green and Mark Turgeon to Oregon and the arrival of Matt Doherty, the new restricted earnings coach.
Green is the head coach this season at Oregon. He will undertake what he called one of the greatest opportunities and challenges of his career; trying to rebuild a Duck program that finished last in the Pacific 10 Conference last season with 621 overall and 2-16 conference record. Green last served as a head coach from 1979 to 1987 at the University of North Carolina-Ashville, where he compiled a 150-108 record.
Green, 49, came to Kansas in 1988 and served under current Kansas coach Roy Williams until last spring, when he was hired by Oregon. Green quickly hired Turgeon as one of his assistants.
"We improved a little bit but we've got a lot of work to do," he said. "We'll do some of the things that we did at Kansas that worked for us."
The Ducks lost only one starter from last season and returning is 6-foot-5 senior guard Antoine Stoudamire, who averaged 20 points a game last season. But Green, who took his players on a tour of Europe in early September, said that they had a long way to go.
"Some of the things take a while to work back into," Green said. "It's been four years since I've ever called a timeout in a game, so just like any returning head coach, I'll have to readjust."
Green's departure continued to strengthen the Kansas and North Carolina connection, opening the door for Doherty, who played at North Carolina under Dean Smith and then Tar Heel assistant Williams from 1981 to 1984.
Green said that he would not be looking forward to any possible meeting between the Ducks and the Hawks.
"Right now the matchup would be terrible because Kansas is so loaded with talent," he said. "We're trying to get some ammunition for ourselves. Kansas is now at the top rung. Here we have to get the program turned around."
Green said that the Jayhawks had two good reasons to be pleased heading into this season. One was the caliber of talent on the team, but the other reason is superstitious.
"Every time I've left a program," Green said, "the following season each team has gone on to win some sort of a championship."
"I don't think we'll ever schedule a game with Oregon because of my feelings for him," he said. "It'll be sort of like a North Carolina kind of approach. Why should I want to play a guy who is the most loyal friend I've got in the whole wide world? At the end of the game one of us is going to be unhappy. I don't like that situation."
Williams said he would miss Green being at his side but that he was happy for his
Williams knows that situation well. In 1991, Kansas went to the NCAA Final Four against North Carolina, which matched Williams against his mentor Smith. Kansas won 79-73, giving Williams a mixed-emotions feeling of victory.
