KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Tulsa athletic director Bubba Cunningham has been offered the same job at Kansas and was in the process of working out contract details Wednesday, The Associated Press has learned.A person familiar with the search process said Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little offered the job to Cunningham after a search committee submitted a short list of finalists and ranked him as their No. 1 preference.
"Kansas wants him and he wants Kansas. They're just trying to get everything finalized," said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the hiring had not been completed. "It would be a surprise if he is not the next AD at Kansas."
The hope is to have everything worked out in time for Cunningham to be introduced to the crowd at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday when No. 3 Kansas hosts USC in a men's basketball game.
Cunningham did not immediately return calls to The Associated Press. Gray-Little was out of the office Wednesday and not available. Jack Martin, deputy director of university communications, said no announcement was planned.
Cunningham, 48, would replace Lew Perkins, who retired in September after a ticket scam scandal and accusations of personal misconduct.
