Good for Jeff Long in getting another chance to be a Division I athletic director.
It was beginning to look like he might have to take a step back, but he persuaded Kansas to pay him $1.5 million a year, which gets the Razorback Foundation off the hook for more than $4 million it owed him to go away.
Actually, some may say Kansas is a step back. It is a member of the Big 12, but outside of basketball -- where it is on an elite level -- the Jayhawks don't exactly rock chalk.
One thing Long should have learned during his time at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville is you don't replace a legend by being an empire builder, something that seemed to be a natural tendency for Long.
