If you're gonna go with a Cruise, I suggest Tom.

Tomahawks are both highly accurate and relatively economical. If you're going to go with a missile, I suggest Cruise.

Texts between Kansas coach Bill Self and ex-Adidas rep show how high-level college basketball recruiting works The Kansas coach wanted Adidas' help, in part, because he believed Nike was helping Duke and North Carolina https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/texts-between-kansas-coach-bil...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

This is hardly the only person who could have information, and hardly the last time this issue might be in play in legal proceedings.

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

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...

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

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.

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.

Did no one record any of the videos this year? Can't find on youtube.

Because of The Rules, sure. Neat trick.

Preach.
