can't wait to see how that little q&a goes down-

"oh hi _____, how are you doing today? daris told me that you used to do a bunch of coke with luke axtell and drove a chick to bonetown with him one night. care to comment on that? i mean i know you haven't seen daris in ten years, but he just brought it up in casual conversation to me the other day so i just figured i'd follow up with you on it. also, nice weather today, huh?"

MANHATTAN — Leticia Romero says the Kansas State athletic department is blackmailing her.

Romero, a unanimous selection to the Big 12 All-Freshman team, said her request for a release from the women’s basketball team — submitted about a week ago — was recently denied.

K-State, Romero said, offered her a deal of sorts.

“They said we wanted to do the same thing they did with Angel (Rodriguez) for the men’s team, and they said that they weren’t going to give me the release this year,” Romero told The Topeka Capital-Journal on Tuesday afternoon. “They wanted me to try one year, and in one year if I didn’t like it, they would give me a release.

“I really saw this as blackmail.”

Romero said she’s not changing her mind, and she will take her case before an appeals committee at 2 p.m. Wednesday.

The committee’s ruling will be final either way. If it rules against Romero, she would be unable to transfer with a scholarship for a year.

The consequences of that decision, Romero said, would be extremely trying for her family.

“I will have to sit for a year anyways, but I will have to pay for my scholarship,” Romero said, “and that’s something I can’t do. My parents … the situation in Spain is really bad right now. They could lose their jobs (at any time).”

Romero, who led K-State in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals last season, said Mittie cautioned her through team managers of her chances to win the appeal.

“I am kind of afraid of the committee because coach Mittie told some of the mangers that he did some research, and that he saw that K-State players don’t usually win appeals,” Romero said. “So he told them to tell me. I’m afraid of not having a fair committee.

“All I want is a fair committee, and I think I have the right to (transfer). They have to right to change everything, and to change what I came for.”

Financial toughness - serving out your indentured servitude to K-State for a year and leaving when the period ends.

“We know a little more about ourselves and you have to feel good,” Weber said. “At the same time, this time last year I felt good and two days later after the banquet Angel (Rodriguez) popped in (and transferred). This day in college basketball, you hold your breath.

Holding his breath for that whole year Angel was forced to stay seems stupid.  Maybe the oxygen deprivation made him a little more brain-damaged.

You got the Bob Knight quote wrong. His advice is for when rape is inevitable. 
When rape is imminent, you run, obviously.

Maybe we should've kept Frank and just told the mutiny members that they wouldn't be released (assuming Frank wouldn't have wanted to Frank them anyway).  I guess the no-release thing doesn't work with shitty players who can drop a level and keep on trucking.

Yep just plain old run of the mill extortion.  She also clearly does not understand it doesn't work as well if you tell everyone that it's being done to you.  Amateur. 
My prescience is fully engorged.  It throbs with righteous accuracy.  I am sated.

I'm burning it all the way down on this issue, it's complete crap. I refuse to allow these two SEC good ol boys embarrass this university without saying anything. And who in the hell does Jeff rough ridin' Mittie think he is? What the eff does his mid major ass know about the history of student athletes appeals at Kansas State? eff him too.

Good for Leti for putting this out there and telling the world about this stupid bullshit.

I'm confused.   She wants to transfer.  Will have to wait a year to play.   Coaches tried to get her to stay.   She isn't interested.   Open and shut case. What am I missing?

Sad and embarrassing. What's worse: it wouldn't surprise me if much if the fan base takes Currie's side. These athletes only have a limited amount of time to play college sports, a letter of intent is only good for a year, and scholarships can be pulled at any time. Yet people still take administrator sides on issues like these (albeit not here on this particular issue so good work gE). It is incredibly frustrating
I think this yoman guy is on to something....

So...she would have to sit out a year and they are asking her to burn another year of her eligibility just to be sure about her decision?

Obviously the girl should be given her release, but I was primarily interested in the Angel aspect of the story and that he wanted out when oscar was hired but was forced to stay or pay his own way for the transfer year (not sure if he was already mumped medically and would've had to pay for his own procedures although that might've been best given the history of free KSU hoops health care).

She can't be on scholarship in the year she sits if we don't release her. She claims we did the same to Angel which is the only reason he stayed oscar's first year. You miss a lot.
