Kansas Crimson

i've often wondered what the compliance folks (6 of 'em?) are doing, and if they aren't catching on to things like Preston's car earlier in the process (would seem an obvious red flag), wtf is all that money getting spent on? Probably making sure we don't provide cream cheese or jelly ("extras...

What I hope - and of course I'm seeing this through crimson and blue glasses - is that there's no fucking way we'd play the hyper-conservative card with Preston's situation...only to end up playing a knowingly-compromised guy in his place. I just cannot believe we'd be so stupid with SDS after being...

SDS doesn't have to leave school, but he probably shouldn't play in games if we want to be on the safe side. Especially if we think/know the allegations are true. Self probably hates the ncaa, but he's greatly benefitted from the system too, so he might be hesitant to risk his HOF reputation taking...

1. This is obviously huge for KU with respect to Silvio's availability. Unless we know something the NCAA does not (yet) know, there's zero reason to sit him now. . I guess the main reason would be so that we don't open ourselves up to having to vacate any additional wins...and by the letter of the...

Could they? Sure. But it's hard when there's nothing like a union, and where an individual player's damages are necessarily pretty limited and short-term in nature.

I missed this on Friday. In Adidas college hoops trial, everyone agrees on facts. Will NCAA take action? https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/colleges/in-adidas-college-hoops-trial-everyone-agrees-on-facts-will-ncaa-take-action/2018/10/05/406dd74a-c89b-11e8-b1ed-1d2d65b86d0c_story.html According to...

As long as it doesn't hurt us too much on the other end, sure. But it certainly seems like Dedric is an indifferent defender (at best), so I worry some about smaller teams (which: they're all going to be smaller) abusing us a bit.

No odd men out this year. Self has the luxury of yanking anyone who isn't hustling on defense from the game and inserting another body. McCormack will play a minimum of 15 min per game spelling Dok. It will be hell on the opposing defense because they will have to guard a player who has a nice touc...

Preach. College basketball fraud trial: We're at this point because the NCAA is ethically bankrupt https://sports.yahoo.com/college-basketball-fraud-trial-point-ncaa-ethically-bankrupt-191446567.html The real issue is: Why is this even a problem? Or shocking? Maybe for those who haven’t been paying ...

Oh of course that was all pretext.

Are we seriously not talking about this? Bowen said Dawkins originally mentioned they could get $60-80K from Adidas for going to Louisville, but it rose to $100K because "Billy Preston had gotten $100K" from Adidas for going to Kansas. This is a good example of why I’m not worried - based...

...because this is every single high-major recruit that doesn’t come from money.

Mitch will rebound, defend, and score better against other 4s, instead of against the other teams biggest player (which was often the case last year).

I agree with this.

Regardless, if Adidas paid the money back to under armour, then that's essentially the same as paying him to come to KU. It's not like the originally money was refunded completely, it just changed who the money came from. Sure - I guess I just read Geezer to be saying that Adidas gave SDS (or someo...

SDS was not paid to come to KU. The money was to pay Under Armor who supposedly paid to have SDS go to Maryland. You believe a scenario where all that happened is that UnderArmour's money was returned, and that SDS went to KU for free? That was the initial story before his guardian denied getting a...

Assuming Agbaji isn't even in the conversation, I think the most likely "odd man out" candidate is McCormack. Anyone who thinks he'll play over Lightfoot hasn't been paying close attention to how things work under Self. I must admit to still having a bad feeling about the possibility that ...

Reading a Matt Tait article where he interview an attorney who specializes in cases like this. Scenarios as follows... 1. KU and SDS come out of this scotch clean 2. KU comes out clean but SDS is ruled ineligible (the Cam & Cecil Netwon rule) because his 'handler' admits he took the cash even t...
