Re: Cruises
I haven't been on a cruise, but it seems an awful lot like all of the bad parts, and only some of the good parts, about staying at a big resort. But I might be discounting the cool factor of going to several different places as opposed to just one.

Re: Shoe money trial
I think the steroid stuff in MLB will prove to be instructive as to how all of this will play out. KU needs to just say as little as possible and let the rest of the facts come out (specifically: how what KU did/was involved in was par for the course and not atypical or unusual). KU's best defense h...

Re: Shoe money trial
The problem is that the investigation here is designed not to find a smoking gun (like a text from a coach to a shoe company guy saying, "hey, give Recruit X enough money to pick my school"). Indeed, to torture the conceit, the bullet from such a smoking gun would blow the prosecution's ca...

Re: Shoe money trial
Is it really a concern though? All those texts are pretty vague. Money wasn’t discussed so the key issue still isn’t an issue? So what if they talk about recruits? Nothing illegal about it. Now I get we probably did some shady stuff but it doesn’t matter what people think it matters what people can...

Re: Shoe money trial
If my tone has changed, it's not because of any "law stuff" necessarily. It's just common sense that the closer Self and his staff can be shown to have been to the payments, the easier it would be for the NCAA to take a swing at us. My (relative) sense of comfort that nothing will happen t...

Re: Weather
I'm not sure that works; do you just get to decide which day is Spring, and which is Fall?

Re: Shoe money trial
Meh. Not surprised and don't really care because I don't think the act of the recruits/families getting money is "wrong". ...but I suspect some people who refused to accept this has been going on for decades will be/act shocked. I'm guessing this is as bad as they've got on us. Thankfully...

Re: Shoe money trial
Nothing in here is fatal, but it's disappointing that our staff was dumb enough to be even this close.

Re: Weather
A light dusting overnight here in KC. At least it's going to be sunny this week. Saw the sun on Saturday for what felt like the first time in a month. Give me 30 and sunny over 50 and rainy any day.

Re: Shoe money trial
I suppose I can hope the verdict is “not guilty,” on the basis that no underlying crime was committed that supports the wire fraud and conspiracy charges.

Re: Shoe money trial
As I (now) understand the chain of events, we discovered wires to Preston's mom while sorting out the car situation. Honestly, this makes me feel really good about the Silvio situation, and compliance generally. It seems like we dug deeper than maybe we needed to with Preston (if the goal was to get...

Re: Doug Meacham Fired
Or maybe playing three dozen quarterbacks during Beaty's tenure has been the problem.
