Kansas Facing Major Allegations

[navery12]

Just as @HuskyHawk alluded to this morning. I assume

 

[Dooooooomed]

Which recruit(s) are we competing with Kansas for?

 

[Rocktheworld]

They’ll “face” them, nothing will happen, and nothing will change.

 

[Mike Honcho]

Rock chalk!

 

[LIuconn]

How will Wichita be punished?

 

[HuskyHawk]

And there it is folks

 

[McLovin]

Let's see how long it takes ESPN to report this and how they spin the story. 24 minutes and still nothing on ESPN.com

[Road2Six]

Gethro Muscadin is one that comes to mind

Lots of interesting things to unpack in this article.

1. "Former Adidas employee T.J. Gassnola testified in federal court last October that he made payments of $90,000 on behalf of Adidas to the mother of KU basketball player Billy Preston and $2,500 to the guardian of Silvio De Sousa. Gassnola also said he agreed to pay $20,000 to Fenny Falmagne, the guardian of De Sousa, to help Falmagne exit an agreement to send De Sousa to Maryland, an Under Armour school."

This is an interesting way to phrase this. Why would De Sousa need $20K to exit an agreement with UMD? Did UMD provide De Sousa money through UA to come and play? If so, that's interesting and noteworthy....

2. "ESPN recently reported that NCAA investigators in addition to N.C. State were working on cases at KU, Arizona, Auburn, Creighton, Louisville, LSU and USC."

If the NCAA is going to drop the hammer on Kansas, then it wouldn't be shocking if they hit all the rest of these teams at some point soon, assuming there was also evidence. We are competing against Auburn and LSU for Cam Thomas... Hope the NCAA doesn't drag their feet.

3. This process is going to take a longggg time it appears. Could until the end of this upcoming season for the NCAA to even issues a "statement of the case". From there a hearing has to be set. Kansas (and any other school eventually charged) can then go through an appeals process. This could drag out for years before any sanctions get enforced.

Do any KU fans actually worry about this stuff? You know that everything is going to be fine.

 

[JimHurley]

Thank goodness. My lord I can’t stand Kansas. As dirty of a program as they come and they still have less national championships than us.

[HuskyHawk]

Yes. Quite worried. It's not going to be fine.

What I really want though, is the others brought down similarly. Arizona, LSU, Kentucky etc.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Well I’ll believe it if it actually happens, nobody outside of KU world is holding their breath

 

[intlzncster]

And there it is folks

don't worry about it bruv. They'll get the Arizona/LSU treatment. Shocked they didn't get the Duke treament.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Zero chance a big boy gets hit. The next time will be the first.

 

[intlzncster]

Word I’m hearing is Self will be gone before the season starts.

 

[superjohn]

And there it is folks

Haven't they faced multiple major allegations for like the past decade or so?

 

[Chief00]

Chief has been posting that’s what we are up against out on The Grind / now the allegations are coming out for all to see.

 

[intlzncster]

Believe that when I see it. People were saying the same about Miller.

The Board will wait and wait and wait until the PR thing blows over a bit.

But you know more than me
