KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Some coaches at Kansas State University will take pay cuts, as university athletic budgets have suffered under the effects of COVID-19.

In addition, the release stated that all Kansas State Athletics employees making than $150,000 will take salary cuts of 5 percent.
The university's athletic department also made cuts that will save about $2 million, according to the statement.
