It sucks when you cheat

Seriously though I feel bad for the kid

Cmon

Cmon

Yeah I just can’t stand Kansas and so sorry but sympathy from me is hard to come by. However, I do feel bad for the player... I don’t feel bad for the schools overall success if that makes sense.

Wonder how and if suffering the same serious ligament damage in the same hand will affect his draft position.

It does suck for the kid, but the “that’s just awful news for Kansas, who is also without de Sousa who took a bag of cash” sentiment that is out there right now...seriously? I hope Kansas goes winless.

I had to read it twice it's actually the same ligament but right hand this time. It was left hand his freshman season. So he's done it to both hands.

A lot of wrist injuries ha, maybe too much time in his room alone!!

Someone else with no center. Can’t say I feel too badly for Kansas.

Kansas will admit an NCAA violation and then ask for Silvio De Sousa to be reinstated, a report says

if that happens they should just burn down the NCAA

I mean they should do it anyway, but c'mon...

Take a look at what Kansas is actually admitting to. Paying $2,500 to help what is likely a financially disadvantaged kid take online courses to be eligible. (Also ignore for a moment what else Kansas has done what I am sure is much, much worse).

The NCAA is making millions off these kids, falling all over themselves claiming this is all about academics. And this is not allowed. If a team wants to gain a recruiting edge by helping them through academically that should not be an issue at all. (with some sort of small cap of course). That should be the type of recruiting tactics that are encouraged. But we all know nothing is to the benefit of the kids.

So, let me see if I understand. KU wants to self-report a violation so they have a better chance to get a player eligible? That takes a lot of balls. Don’t they know that self-reporting means a 10-year investigation?! Oh, that’s right! They have the Blue Blood Pass.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Hahaha takes some real balls to make a move like that. Almost hope it works out for them.

 

[Nicknack]

No, they are very, very bad. Very bad. We hate them.

 

[orangefog]

Sure, we paid the kid. But, don’t you think we should get our miney’s worth?
NCAA response: They make a good point, they did pay him. I would be upset too if I didn’t get a decent return on my investment.

 

[JOC44]

Are they going to cop to Adidas giving De Souza $60K to pay back Under Armour when he dumped Maryland?

vs making sure a kid adds footnotes to an autobiographical paper.
