Kansas Crimson

The whole text of this link is required reading, in my opinion. The NCAA Is Gaslighting You https://deadspin.com/the-ncaa-is-gaslighting-you-1829716653 Prior to 1948, the NCAA never asserted any right to actually enforce its amateur status, leaving it to each conference to assess its own fans’ compe...

An all-state-of-Kansas first team (Lawson/Grimes/Doke/Brown/Wade) is not out of the question.

What's funny to me is that KU is holding off on signing their Adidas contract. In my opinion, KU's "response" to this should be to dump Adidas and switch back to Nike. We look like we're making a moral stand while actually switching to the biggest cheaters in the sport. Nike is simply bet...

adidas is going to be sucking the fuzzy end of the lollipop no matter what. Now it's just a matter of who they take with them. Why, exactly? Even if these guys are found guilty, you think Adidas cares? If anything, this is fine for them and the other shoe companies, because it's a few million bucks...

I'm 100% in the "whatever the couple decides is a-ok" camp. I know a number of women with established, pre-marriage careers that do not want to "confuse the market," as it were. I also know a number of women who change their names legally and socially, but continue to go by their...

So the Adidas people who have incriminated themselves have secrets on us. True. Now can't we use that as a bargaining chip against them too? Like I said, I'm an idiot and I'm just trying to understand every possible avenue this could go. I would think that the leaking of details on which players we...

I enjoyed K saying the other day, "[Cheating is] not what's happening. ... We haven't lost guys because someone cheated."

So...um...you're saying that Duke hasn't lost a guy to someone else because someone else paid a kid?

I wonder how that could be.

Needless to say I heartily agree with much of this. Will KU coach Bill Self have courage to make change in wake of Adidas trial revelations? http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/sam-mellinger/article220136590.html#storylink=mainstage [A]t some point the NCAA is going to decide between ...

All of those texts can be explained with different context too. They mean nothing by themselves. The most important question was ‘did Self know you were paying him?’ Answer: ‘no, he didn’t.’ The NCAA won’t use part of testimony and ignore the other part. And when this trial ends in a NOT GUILTY ver...

We are collateral damage in this dumb FBI investigation. Don't they need to be doing something else more important than this? Do these guys really deserve to go to jail over this? In my opinion the dirtiest mother fucker I've seen in all of this is Fenny Falagmne or however you spell it. Eh, I can ...

It is not very fun that I am paying for a federal investigation and prosecution designed to make a federal crime out of breaking private rules the enforcement of which is unethical, immoral and illogical, which investigation and prosecution carries with it a nonzero chance of ruining one of the only...

Thank god this is happening now, and not, like, in May.

In a taped conversation that was not allowed into evidence today, Adidas' Merl Code and Kansas asst Kurtis Townsend discuss the recruitment of Zion Williamson, who wound up at Duke. In arguing for admission, a transcript was read by Code defense atty Mark Moore. (thread) Code: "Hey, but betwee...

Kind of a side point, but I do wonder if Long, who is obviously new to university, says no to adidas extension based on this whole thing. Because if I'm not mistaken, that extension has not been finalized yet. And this whole thing surely isn't helping matters. No, but...think about the negotiating ...

Well, it appears that compliance clammed up with the NCAA when compliance figured out mama was getting paid. So I'm not sure I'd bank on helpful back-channel communications with Indianapolis at the moment.

Considering the marginal benefit of playing him now, unfortunately I agree with this.

Shots fired ten minutes ago just off the Plaza.

If I'm following correctly, the alleged 60k has nothing to do with Kansas. There was an alleged 20k offered but never paid. I am curious if that will matter. If Maryland payed him and we played him, then it's us on the hook for playing an ineligible player. Maryland could also be hit with something...
