Remember when Nancy Pelosi said about Obamacare:
"We have to pass it, to find out what's in it".
A physician called into a radio show and said:
"That's the definition of a stool sample."

Bill Self reacts to new charges against Adidas executive that reference KU players http://www.kansas.com/sports/college...208540874.html
What is it that HCGM says? Recruiting is like shaving. Skip a day, and you look like a bum.

The mistake being made here by both Adidas and KU is that they're only investing in the basketball team. Good lord, their football program is the worst in the country. Pony up some bills Mr. Dassler and help out the gridiron boys. They're the ones that need it.

I'm no KU football supporter, but if you want to see something interesting check out saveksfb.com
The fans have been promised renovations and improvements for years and nothing has happened. The AD said they would finally get an indoor practice facility for this fall, yet not only will that practice facility not be complete, they haven't even broken ground. And worse than that, they apparently don't even have a plan for where to put it.
Essentially, what that website lays out is that all the promises of facilities improvements at Kansas are just pie in the sky. There's no plan and no will to actually do it.
KU's only chance to win a game is against Nicholls State at the beginning of the season and I wouldn't call that a sure thing by any stretch of the imagination as NSU went 8-4 last year and even these smaller Louisiana schools are pretty salty when it comes to football. So with KU on its way to another 1-11 or 0-12 season, my point was, somewhat jokingly, the brand with the three stripes needs to forget about buying them some basketball guys and shell out the cash for some decent football players.

At this point the 300 million figure seems more like a pipe dream to the people following this project. The renderings Sheahon Zenger submitted last fall looked like they were created by a 14 year old on his computer. No real architectural plan so far and no time table for construction. Construction is supposedly going to begin on a 26 million dollar indoor practice facility this spring but so far no renderings made public. For all we know it could be a huge steel shed just west of the stadium....

so why is Maryland not mentioned alongside KU and NC State in the newest release? The player in question or his people had accepted money from Under Armour to steer him there and the players "people" needed extra money to pay that back before they steered him to KU?

CBS basketball podcast talks about this story and the overall scandal. At the very least they expect the KU player to be ruled ineligible and KU will have to vacate their NCAA wins (and B12 championship), though this will be several years from now. The big question does Bill Self or anybody on his staff have knowledge that these payments were being made.
There still are a lot of rabbit holes this can still all can lead. There is the unnamed co-conspirator, and there are still rumors of other indictments of assistants/coaches coming down in the future. We will likely learn how dirty college basketball has become over the next 2-3 years as this rolls through court.
