Kivisto removed as president, CEO of company

Tom Kivisto was removed as president and CEO of SemGroup LP on Friday. With SemGroup LP, the company Kivisto founded in 2001, facing bankruptcy, creditors seized control and replaced many high ranking officials in the company. Kivisto was one of the major donors in the building of the new Anderson Family Football Complex that opened this summer. The football field at Memorial Stadium was renamed Kivisto Field before the 2006 season. Kivisto was the starting point guard for the Kansas 1974 Final Four team.
