KU alumnus visits as Gator Bowl rep

Rick Taylor

Rick Taylor’s return to his alma mater will be all business, even if the visit surrounds a game.

Taylor, senior executive vice president and chief operating officer for Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A. Inc., will be visiting Kansas University this weekend as a representative of the Gator Bowl Association, the group that puts on the annual bowl game in Jacksonville, Fla.

Konica Minolta is title sponsor for the game, for which KU remains a candidate to play in come Jan. 1.

Taylor will be in Lawrence beginning Friday to meet with Kansas Athletics Inc. officials. He’ll also be attending Saturday’s game against the University of Texas.

Taylor earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration at KU in 1979.
