40 years ago: KU Athletic Board offers assistant AD job to Fambrough

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 13, 1974:

The Kansas University Athletic Board this week made two major decisions — one to open its meetings, and the other to offer former football coach Don Fambrough a job as assistant athletic director. There had been little opposition to the open meetings decision, according to board chair John Eberhardt and athletic director Clyde Walker. Meetings were to be open to the press and public under the provisions that reports didn’t identify speakers and that meetings could be closed at any time by an affirmative vote of one-third of the members present. The changes were made in accordance with recommendations by a chancellor’s athletic study group formed the previous year. In their other action, the board approved Walker’s recommendation to offer Fambrough, who had resigned as head football coach on Dec. 3, a job as assistant athletic director. The new job would not be a figurehead position, although the duties were yet to be worked out between Fambrough and Walker, Eberhardt said.
