See, we are screwing it up again. How can we get an advantage with this type of attitude?

“It came as a surprise to us because no one from the New York Attorney General’s office ever contacted us to ask us about it,” Marchiony said. “If they had, we could have supplied them with a very logical explanation.”
That explanation would have included that Kansas does not give out names of current or future student-athletes to UFS, nor does it push its student-athletes in that company’s direction, according to Marchiony. Cuomo found that Dowling College did just that, along with using athletic-department interns to distribute material about UFS to students. Marchiony said that a search for wrongdoing at Kansas wouldn’t be fruitful.
“If they’re looking for something shady,” Marchiony said, “they’re going to be very disappointed.”

"UFS, officially named Student Financial Services Inc., is indeed a sponsor of Kansas athletics, but Kansas associate athletics director Jim Marchiony stressed that the department does not receive money from UFS. “UFS’s relationship is with Host Communications, which owns Kansas athletics’ multimedia rights,” Marchiony said. “So UFS pays Host, not Kansas athletics. Host pays us a fee every year for owning our multimedia rights, then they go out and sell sponsorships. They keep the money for the sponsorships they sell. This is a sponsorship just like Crown Toyota, Holiday Inn, anything else.”
