"Domer" Cunningham Takes Kansas AD Job...

Lawrence "Bubba" Cunningham, a 1984 graduate of the University of Notre Dame -- and long-time member of the Notre Dame's athletic administration -- is "rumored" to be announced today or tomorrow as the new Athletic Director at the University of Kansas.  Ironically, the rumored "other top candidate" for the position was current Notre Dame Deputy Athletic Director, Bill Scholl.

Bubba spent 15 years in the Notre Dame athletic department before departing to Ball State to become their Athletic Director in 2002.  In 2005, Cunningham was named the Athletic Director at the University of Tulsa -- where he's served the last five years.  Many ND fans will recall his decision to have his Tulsa football team wear the Declan Sullivan "helmet sticker" in their game at Notre Dame Stadium in October.  Congratulations Bubba!!!

Here's a link to a story in today's KUSPORTS.COM where you'll learn -- in "Bubba's" own words how he got his nickname -- funny stuff!  And, a link to a Washington Post story where they're reporting that Kansas is negotiating a contract with Cunningham.  HERE'S THE LATEST ON THE NEGOTIATIONS -- SEE LINK BELOW:
