Kid has had a rough few weeks. First got his Playstation stolen from home while in Indianapolis then this...
Our house has been flooded due to rain so if anyone has furniture that they don't need or would like to give up. Please contact me. ThanksComment

Poor Markis and Landry. Would it be an NCAA violation for someone to donate?Originally posted by Stickboy46 View PostComment

I'm curious about that as well. I'm sure it is, because the NCAA is dumb.Originally posted by Shocker Mama View Post
EDIT: Looks like he deleted the tweet. So I'm guessing the answer is probably yes ...Comment

He has since deleted the tweet. I think there's a somewhat decent chance the athletic department asked him to remove it.Originally posted by Shocker Mama View Post
I would say the worst thing someone could do is tweet at one of them that they're going to give them free stuff. Whether or not donating furniture would be a violation, who knows. As a general tip to anyone considering it, if you do give an athlete something, don't write it on the internet.Comment

These kids can't catch a break. I understand the appeal of off campus living, but the dorms seem like a good deal in comparison. Of course, I am a middle aged man and think in terms of safety and efficiency rather than independece.
In any event, a flood from the roof would be on the landlord, no? Street up flooding is SOL,yes?Wichita State, home of the All-Americans.Comment

so did his crib here get flooded or back in NY?Comment

Tweets like his populate my facebook page on a weekly basis. Perhaps I need different "friends", but it sucks people ask (and receive) help all the time and the NCAA, in effect, punishes these student athletes by not allowing them the same treatment as every other broke college kid.Comment

I think that we should have a basketball dorm built on campus for the players. Not to bring in KU, but they built one recently and it is pretty nice. I don't think there is any reason we can't do the same thing for player convenience, safety and recruiting.Comment

What are you talking about .. KU doesn't have a Basketball specific dorm .. That's against the rules! Every basketball player just happened to win the dorm lottery and got assigned there with equal opportunity given to other students!Originally posted by JKLshocker View PostComment

I didn't realize that was against the rules. Typical. I still think something similar would be cool to do, just have some other students dorm in there with them. Then again that's the type of thing we would get in trouble for while KU gets overlooked.Originally posted by Stickboy46 View PostComment

Yes. Sport-specific athlete dorms have proven to solve way more problems than they create.Comment

I emailed the athletic department and they indicated that indeed it would be an infraction for a fan to donate furniture and that they talked with McDuffie. I am not sure who follows McDuffie that is not a fan. The reason I emailed was the first response to the tweet was from a reporter who indicated she was doing a story on the flooding and would like to talk with him. Of course a story of him getting free furniture would have been the top story.Originally posted by Shocker Mama View PostComment
