Missouri
Western State University President Matt Wilson is leaving the university for
what he calls his “dream job.”

“I will be
resigning to take a position with my alma mater,” Wilson tells host Barry Birr
on the KFEQ Hotline he is leaving St. Joseph to become the next dean of Temple
University Japan.

“Over the
past several months Temple has been making overtures to me and so we decided
that we were going to step through that open door,” Wilson says. “We have
family in Japan and it was just a great opportunity for me to get back to my alma
mater.”

Wilson hasn’t
been with Missouri Western long. He became the 5th president of
Missouri Western on July 1st of last year.

Wilson says
he turned down Temple when first approached about the job. He says it was
attractive, but he felt committed to Missouri Western. Wilson earned his Juris
Doctor degree there and worked on the Tokyo campus.

Temple University Japan, founded in 1982, is the oldest and
largest foreign university in Japan. It serves more than 1,300 undergraduate
students from approximately 60 countries, and a total student population of
approximately 3,000.

Though Wilson insists it’s the lure of the job that motivates him,
he acknowledges harsh criticism arising from his push to drastically cut the
Missouri Western budget by eliminating majors played a role as well. Wilson
succeeded in pushing through $6 million in cuts to the annual budget,
convincing the Board of Governors the future of the St. Joseph campus depended
on righting its financial ship.

“There has
been quite a bit of discussion in the community as well and so for some I’ve
become a lightning rod to some degree,” Wilson says. “There’s consideration
there. I have always been in this business for the students and that’s where
the focus needs to be and so the question becomes, okay, is that getting lost
in the rancor that we’re seeing in the community?”

Majors
at Missouri Western will be dropped affecting 322 students and 61 faculty
positions will be eliminated; 20 tenured and 31 non-tenured. The cuts will be
phased-in over a three-year period. They are intended to close an annual budget
gap of $2-to-3 million in Missouri Western’s $56 million annual budget by
eliminating majors which graduate 10 or fewer students each year.

Missouri
Western has nearly 1,000 fewer students than it did 10 years ago, even as it
has added faculty and staff.

Wilson defends
the budget cuts, stating the university went from $28 million in the bank in
2015 to just under $12 million in 2019.

“That’s $16
½ million that went out the door in four years, yet seems like some are blaming
me for the financial problems.”

Wilson says
the decision by the Board of Governors to accept the cuts has been proven correct.

“As we went
through COVID at the end of May, we were up by $1.5 million, even with all the
losses that we have taken, because of our strategy,” according to Wilson. “We
have been very strategic in terms of what we’re doing and, yeah, we have had to
make some strategic cuts, which is very hurtful to folks, but it’s necessary
for the university to go forward and survive.”

While
finances dominated the year-long presidency of Wilson, he also pushed for new
initiatives, such as the Griffon Guarantee Scholarship, Gold Fridays, the
Center for Service, and the Center for Workforce Development.

Wilson says
he will remain long enough to make for a smooth transition.

The Board
of Governors will meet again soon to discuss the search process for Missouri
Western’s next president.

Wilson came
to Missouri Western after serving two years as president of the University of
Akron. He had previously served as dean of the University of Akron School of
Law, associate dean of the University of Wyoming College of Law and senior
associate dean and general counsel of Temple University Japan.&nbsp;

A local group providing summer meals to kids in need is also seeking donations of back-to-school items, including masks.

Sheila Gilbert and her husband Kenzie started the non-profit group Food for Kids in St. Joseph over a decade ago. They now serve 150 lunches a day Monday through Friday while school is out for the summer. 

Gilbert says, this year, they’re aiming to collect 1,500 child-sized masks.

"Anyone who's interested in purchasing, sewing... children need masks, it's a great demand right now," Gilbert tells host Barry Birr on the KFEQ Hotline. "The masks that they have are too big, too loose, they get to fumbling with them and it doesn't work. We just want them to be healthy and safe."

Food For Kids also provides socks and underwear each year for kids in need heading back to school.&nbsp;

"Salvation Army gives out school supplies... AFL-CIO, they give the children tennis shoes and we give the kids underwear," Gilbert says. "It's very important that our children have clean underwear and people forget about that and that is a desperate need."

Gilbert says they will accept donations of the items or money to go toward purchasing the items. For more information, call&nbsp;(816) 364-5809&nbsp;or go to&nbsp;<a href="https://stjoefoodforkids.com/contact-us">stjoefoodforkids.com</a>.&nbsp;

Platte County Jail Activity (7/2-7/8/20)

Missouri Western State University President Matt Wilson is
leaving the university for what he calls his “dream job.”

Missouri Western says Wilson is leaving St. Joseph to become
the next dean of Temple University Japan.

“You hear people talking about dream jobs, but this is
literally my greatest hope come true,” Wilson said in a written statement
released by Missouri Western. “My roots at Temple University run deep. Not only
did I earn my Juris Doctor degree there, but I also spent part of my law school
career as a student at Temple University Japan and worked there in various
capacities for six years. Temple University Japan helped shape me, and I feel
like I’m going home.”

Wilson hasn’t been with Missouri Western long. He became the
5th president of Missouri Western on July 1st of last
year.

“Through the efforts of many, we have made considerable
progress amidst challenging times and unexpected circumstances,” Wilson said.
“We have prioritized students, facilitated student success and helped
strengthen community relationships. We have reminded the community, region and
state about the many advantages of a Missouri Western education. Albeit
difficult, we have made progress on the budgetary front as well. I know that
the Board of Governors, the leadership team and our supporters are fully
committed to the plan and strategies we have developed.”

Wilson plans to remain at Missouri Western as needed to
ensure a smooth transition. The Board of Governors will meet again soon to
discuss the search process for Missouri Western’s next president.

Wilson came to Missouri Western after serving two years as
president of the University of Akron. He had previously served as dean of the
University of Akron School of Law, associate dean of the University of Wyoming
College of Law and senior associate dean and general counsel of Temple
University Japan.&nbsp;

Dave Riggert sat down with former Missouri Western women's soccer coach Chad Edwards on Wednesday.  Edwards opens up about his decision to leave MWSU and pursue a career in aviation.

Edwards spent nine seasons as the head coach of the Griffons and is the all-time winningest coach in program history with 74 victories.  He turned a young program around as the upward swing began in year-four  when the Griffons improved their overall win total by seven games and their MIAA win total by six games, making the postseason for the first time in program history and beginning a string of five-straight appearances.

In 2015, Edwards led Missouri Western to its first-ever winning season. Two years later, he led MWSU to its first-ever appearance in the NCAA postseason. The 2017 Griffons finished as the MIAA regular season and postseason runners-up to eventual national champion Central Missouri. That 2017 team also set program records for wins, points, goals and assists in a season along with multiple individual records and 10 All-MIAA honors.

Northwest's Owen, Western's Vaval earn preseason honors from College Football America Yearbook

In anticipation of the National Football League's guidelines being issued to clubs regarding stadium configuration changes and reduced capacity due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Chiefs have announced a plan that offers the most flexibility and benefits for Season Ticket Members for what will be an unprecedented NFL season in 2020.

Because the club cannot fairly re-seat the entire season ticket base across a limited number of seats, all Season Ticket Members will automatically have their 2020 payment credited for the 2021 season without any action on their part. Keeping their payment as a credit towards 2021 includes the following benefits:

Season Ticket Members who wish to receive a full refund vs. a 2021 credit can choose to do so by contacting their ticket representative over the phone or via email. While those who opt to receive a refund won't be eligible for the above benefits in 2020, they will still be issued a 2021 renewal for their same season ticket location(s) and will maintain their tenure.

"People around the country and around the world are getting accustomed to a constantly changing environment and the same goes for all of us in Chiefs Kingdom," Chiefs President Mark Donovan said. "While our goal all offseason was to have a full stadium as we begin our Super Bowl title defense, it is out of consideration of the health and safety of our fans, employees, coaches and players that we move forward with a reduced-capacity plan that adheres to local guidelines and expert recommendations. As we looked at ways to navigate this unusual season, our first priority was to offer a fair and flexible plan for our loyal and valued Season Ticket Members, and we believe we accomplished that. While it will be a different experience for everyone, we are looking forward to welcoming fans to Arrowhead this fall."

Due to the inability to accommodate all Season Ticket Members, there is no way to account for purchasers who have already secured single-game tickets. All single-game tickets purchased through the primary market will be issued an automatic refund to the method of payment. For any tickets purchased through a resale marketplace, ticket purchasers will need to visit the marketplace used to review their options. Single-game parking passes that have already been purchased through the team will automatically be refunded to the method of payment as well.

The club will announce and conduct a reduced-capacity single-game on-sale once the final number of available seats is determined based on the guidance of the NFL, as well as local government officials and public health experts. Season Ticket Members who retain their 2020 funds as a credit for 2021 will be given first access to purchase single-game tickets in a priority order, based on their tenure. This Season Ticket Member process will take place through password-protected online accounts. Any remaining single-game tickets will be offered to the public following the Season Ticket Member presale.

When reduced capacity single-game tickets go on sale to Season Ticket Members and the public, it is likely that the club will only sell tickets for the preseason and the first few games of the regular season. As the season progresses, the club will follow the guidance of local officials and public health experts, with the goal being that local regulations will allow for an increased capacity later in the season. Any change that increases capacity throughout the season would provide more fans the ability to purchase single-game tickets in more areas.

Beyond the NFL's stadium configuration changes, the club continues to work closely with the NFL, representatives of The University of Kansas Health System, Populous, as well as local government officials and public health experts on additional capacity and operational adjustments for the safety of all fans, staff, coaches and players. All aspects of the gameday experience for the upcoming season – including parking, tailgating, guest service, food and beverage, retail and stadium operations – are being evaluated and will be announced prior to the start of the season.

Chiefs announce season ticket member plan for 2020 season

ST. JOSEPH – Missouri Western head women's soccer coach Chad Edwards announced his resignation, Tuesday, to pursue a career in the aviation industry. Edwards will leave Missouri Western as the program's all-time winningest head coach, with 74 victories in his nine seasons leading the team.

"It has been the honor of a lifetime to be a part of Griffon soccer, Missouri Western and St Joseph these past nine years," Edwards said. "The relationships developed, the memories created and all of the experiences have far exceeded my expectations when I was fortunate to be given this opportunity. I give all credit for our success to all of the incredible student-athletes who have worn the Griffon uniform along with our graduate assistants and assistant coaches, athletic trainers and administration. I will be forever grateful for all the wonderful families that entrusted us. I will never be able to thank everyone or put into words how incredibly thankful I am for this chapter. Griffon soccer will be forever in my heart."

Aviation was my first passion and always had been. I have been blessed with an incredible opportunity that at this point in time, our family has decided is best for our future."

Edwards led a total turnaround of the young program, taking over in 2011 as the third head coach in the program's seventh year of existence. The upward swing began in year-four of the Edwards era when the Griffons improved their overall win total by seven games and their MIAA win total by six games, making the postseason for the first time in program history and beginning a string of five-straight appearances. In 2015, Edwards led MWSU to its first-ever winning season. Two years later, he led MWSU to its first-ever appearance in the NCAA postseason. The 2017 Griffons finished as the MIAA regular season and postseason runners-up to eventual national champion Central Missouri. That 2017 team also set program records for wins, points, goals and assists in a season along with multiple individual records and 10 All-MIAA honors.

"Chad is a beacon of positivity and will be greatly missed in our department," vice president of intercollegiate athletics Dr. Josh Looney said. "His dedication to the Griffs, collegiate soccer and aviation has always been unwavering. We are very sad to lose him prior to the 2020-21 season, but are excited he is chasing this dream. All of us have known about his love for flying and many in our department have flown with him over the years. It is rare someone is able to navigate their professional career throughout multiple passions. MWSU is fortunate to have had Chad's leadership over the past nine years."

His teams were every bit as successful off the pitch as on. MWSU soccer student-athletes were consistently among the top academic performers in the athletic department. Edwards commanded philanthropy in the St. Joseph community, earning the team a Bronze Presidential Volunteer Service Award for countless hours working with St. Joseph's Habitat for Humanity. Last year, the soccer program received its sixth consecutive Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award from the United Soccer Coaches, an award the program was bestowed in all but one of Edwards' seasons as head coach.

A national search to find Edwards' replacement will begin immediately.

Chad Edwards steps down as Missouri Western soccer coach

KANSAS CITY -- The Kansas City Royals announced Tuesday that right-handed pitcher Brad Keller and first baseman Ryan O’Hearn have each tested positive for COVID-19. Both players have released a statement after giving the club permission to announce that positive test.

Keller, 24, is in his third season with Kansas City after joining the organization as a Rule 5 selection in December, 2017.

“Of course I was devastated when I heard the news from Nick Kenney (Head Athletic Trainer) that I had two positive tests,” Keller said. “I was sent home yesterday and was hoping the first test was a false positive, but I got the word today that the second test also came back positive and I have to go into isolation. I am experiencing minor symptoms that remind me more of an allergy attack. Other than that I feel great and have no other symptoms, including no cough or fever. I’m going to follow the directions from our training staff and hope to be back working out with the club as soon as possible. I would encourage everyone to stay safe.”

O’Hearn, 26, played in 105 games for the Royals last year, his second stint with the big league club, hitting 14 home runs.

“Obviously I was shocked when I got the news that my test was positive,” said O’Hearn. “I am asymptomatic and feel fine physically. It’s been a really tough summer waiting for the season to start and to have a setback like this, albeit hopefully a brief one, just makes me that much hungrier. Though I have to be in quarantine, I plan to continue working out as much as possible and taking direction from our medical team until the time comes that I’m cleared to rejoin my teammates. If this could happen to me, it could happen to anyone, so it really is important for everybody to pay attention to their surroundings and don’t assume that you’re not vulnerable, because everyone is.”

Cardinals announce ticket refund policy for July-September games

The Kansas City Chiefs made sure they’ll have Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes around as long as possible.

Mahomes agreed to a 10-year extension worth up to $503 million, according to his agency, Steinberg Sports. The deal is worth $477 million in guarantee mechanisms and includes a no-trade clause and opt-out clauses if guarantee mechanisms aren’t met.

It’s the richest contract in professional sports history, surpassing Mike Trout’s $426.5 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels.

“Since he joined the Chiefs just a few years ago, Patrick has developed into one of the most prolific athletes in all of sports,” Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement about the quarterback who led them to their first championship in 50 years.

“With his dynamic play and infectious personality, he is one of the most recognized and beloved figures to put on the Chiefs uniform. He’s an extraordinary leader and a credit to the Kansas City community, and I’m delighted that he will be a member of the Chiefs for many years to come.”

The Chiefs had the 2018 NFL MVP under contract for the next two seasons but that wasn’t nearly enough.

“Here to stay,” Mahomes wrote on Twitter.

The contract extension starts in 2022 when the NFL salary cap is projected to be $227.5 million. However, that number could be lower depending on revenue losses due to the cornonavirus pandemic and the possibility any games played this season won’t have fans.

Still, Mahomes will take up a big chunk of Kansas City’s cap space, around 20 percent depending on the annual contract breakdown and final cap numbers. That could potentially make it difficult for the Chiefs to pay several star players big contracts.

The Chiefs already had picked up their fifth-year option in April on Mahomes, who had been due to make $825,000 on the final year of his rookie contract this season, to keep him around at least through 2021. General manager Brett Veach said this deal has been a priority for quite a while and thanked Mahomes’ agents, Chris Cabott and Leigh Steinberg.

“His abilities are so rare, and to couple that with an incredible personality is outstanding,” Veach said of Mahomes. “We’re going to continue to do everything we can to surround him with talent, and this deal provides us more flexibility to do that. He’s obviously an integral part to our success and we’re thrilled he’s going to be the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs for a long time.”

Mahomes threw touchdown passes on consecutive fourth-quarter drives in rallying the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl title in 50 years and the first for coach Andy Reid. That comeback performance earned Mahomes the Super Bowl MVP award and only cemented his status as the face of the Kansas City franchise.

Reid said the best part is that Mahomes is still early in his career. Mahomes won’t turn 25 until Sept. 17.

“He’s a natural leader and always grinding, whether that’s on the field, in the weight room or watching film, he wants to be the best,” Reid said. “He’s a competitor and his teammates feed off his energy. He makes us all better as an organization and we are blessed he’s going to be our quarterback for years to come.”

The Chiefs traded up to select Mahomes 10th overall in the 2017 draft, and he spent one season learning the ropes under Alex Smith before getting the starting job.

Mahomes proceeded to shatter just about every franchise passing record while winning the league MVP award, and he had the Chiefs within overtime of landing in the Super Bowl that season. He also was The Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year.

He dealt with numerous injuries this past season, including a dislocated kneecap on a seemingly innocent quarterback sneak that left him sidelined for a couple of games. He came back to lead the Chiefs to a long winning streak that culminated with a series of come-from-behind wins in the playoffs, including their second-half rally in the Super Bowl.

He is 24-7 as a starter, completing 65.9% of his passes with 76 touchdowns and only 18 interceptions. Mahomes is 724 of 1,099 for 9,412 yards passing, averaging 303.6 yards per game with a 108.9 career quarterback rating. He also has run 110 times for 500 yards with four TDs.

He has led the Chiefs to back-to-back AFC championship games. In the postseason, Mahomes is 115 of 184 for 1,474 yards with 13 TDs and only two interceptions with a 106.6 rating.
