Kansas athletic director Jeff Long is stepping down, with the university announcing the news Wednesday, two days after football head coach Les Miles was ousted over allegations of sexual misconduct while he was head coach at LSU.

Long hired Miles to be Kansas’ coach in 2018, and the two have a long relationship dating back decades.

Long said in a statement that he and the university’s chancellor had agreed it was in the best interest of the program and its student-athletes for him to resign.
