Dr. Bob Frederick

Dr. Bob Frederick passed away Friday after sustaining massive head trauma as the result of a bicycle accident in Lawrence the previous day. Many fitting tributes have been written (and will continue to be written) about Dr. Frederick. In this age of seemingly rampant CEO corruption, he was the antithesis of greed.

Dr. Frederick was the athletic director at KU during my time as a student-athlete, as well as during my media career. Without exception he treated me with kindness and respect in every dealing I ever had with him. Just a really solid person and administrator.

I wish there were more Dr. Bob’s out there.
