    Two K-State athletics department officials remain on administrative leave a week after.
    Jim Epps, deputy athletic director, and Bob Cavello, senior associate athletic director for administration and finance, were placed on administrative leave June 10.
    "Earlier this afternoon, I informed Jim Epps and Bob Cavello of my decision to place them on administrative leave with pay until further notice," said John Currie, athletic director, in the department's press release. "This decision is not based upon any concerns about misconduct on the part of either individual. As is practice with personnel matters, we will have no further comment at this time."
    The decision came two days after Currie took over the reins of the K-State athletic department.
    President Kirk Schulz said that despite rumors, the action is not part of a conscious effort to replace administrators from Jon Wefald's presidency.
    "I don't foresee any administrative changes happening," Schulz said. "It's an athletic department matter."
