Frank Kara, who passed away following a courageous battle with cancer this past summer will be honored for his years of service and dedication to Golden Gopher athletics. A member of the athletics department for 14 years, including the last seven as Director of Compliance, Kara was remembered in a ceremony on Wednesday, Sept. 26. The compliance office in the Bierman Athletic Building was renamed in his honor.
