Title: Interesting KU booster tidbit
Post by: Pete on April 21, 2010, 07:49:13 PM
Check out the first comment on this story....

http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2010/apr/21/lawrence-developer-set-be-sentenced-thursday-junct/

Anyone have any more details on this?

Would really be remarkable if something came of this....I mean the track record of "connected" KU boosters over the past few years is quite a story.

More Resignations in the ku athletic department, and the word that hundreds of thousands of dollars are missing.

The ku seniors and likely guys headed to the NBA on their barnstorming tour aka the cash express that players are promised who go to ku . . .  The barnstorming has always been a money laundering operation to funnel booster gifts through to outgoing players.

You'd only have to ask where the money missing in the ku athletic department ended up.

Rats jumping from a sinking ship.  Anyone with insidery stuff that explains just how bad corruption in the athletic dept really is?  ku gave us a hard time about the super secret Prince agreement and all the crap that went on until Currie was brought in, but at least the feds didn't get involved with a criminal investigation.  I do know once the feds are involved (1) There's a substantial amount of money involved, and (2) The allegations of criminal conduct tend to be authentic.

Any observations?

Where do you play softball?  I need to meet this guy and evaluate whether he's worthy of such a prestigious nickname. . . unless it is  the same guy then I'll just look like a crazy person interrogating myself.

Potential crimes his client reportedly helped disclose, Cornwell said, included tax evasion, money laundering, theft and fraud.

Quote
Freeman built a seven-bedroom house that he eventually sold to KU basketball coach Bill Self.
“My wife and I were looking to build in that area, and this house became available,” Self said Thursday. “It was a house he had started to build, but then decided to sell before it was completed. So we bought the house unfinished, and our attorney and his handled all the paperwork.”

Right Bill, blame the lawyers.

Post by: deputy dawg on April 23, 2010, 08:17:24 AM
I'm no Bill Self fan, but he gets paid enough that he would not need the relative chump change in the portion people would suspect he received.  If there's "hundreds of thousands of dollars" involved, you know there's a lot of outstretched hands in that sewer called Lawrence, so he'd only get a small portion if he was involved.  I don't think he'd risk it.  Ditto on Lew--he just legally skimmed $4.9 million from those doofuses in Lawrence, why risk being the subject of a federal criminal investigation for a few thousand?

A 7 bedroom house in whatever area Self lives in would not be considered chump change, even when earning a $3M salary.

Nicest house in Lawrence from what I hear, but appraises for less than his annual salary, much less salary + incentives+ outside contracts.  I stand by my observation, but would absolutely love to be wrong.

I am going to go ahead and assume we are talking about a $1M+ house.  Even if the guy makes $10M a year, he is still going to think that $1M is a pretty big deal.

Look at the big picture, and answer the question of whether this will affect giving to the ku athletic dept.  Does this officially kill the "Gridiron Club", even though it's a basketball scandal?  I think this is another avenue for the football program to get screwed because of the actions of the basketball program.   The bad part is that I doubt it will be much more of a speed bump on continuing financial misconduct in the basketball program (unless they manage to snag Doug Compton), and they will continue to move ahead.  Thoughts?
Title: Re: Interesting KU booster tidbit
Post by: CNS on April 23, 2010, 08:40:26 AM
As mentioned on the other board, no one has given any indication as to where the money has gone.  This makes me think that this will get ugly enough for KU that it won't be considered a speed bump.  If it was simply the NCAA investigating, I would agree.   However, since the FBI is involved, I am thinking that there is enough indication of something illegal taking place that KU could be in some troub.

BillyBob1 shares more that KU fans mostly don't want to hear in the comment section of the story in the LJWorld. The slam on the World is a bit unfair as its story had yet to be updated with the attorney's outburst.

"Why are we getting our Lawrence news from the KC Star? The LJWorld is a joke. How about some investigative journalism? Did Rodney really buy a $1+ million property on his measly salary from KU? How about getting a list of the season ticket holders from KU and comparing that list to people who actually received tickets? These season tickets were not stolen, they were diverted. How? Word is that there is over $3 million involved. Freeman claims he actually saw tickets being sent to a scalper. Who did he see?
Quit picking on Lew and Compton and let's see the LJWorld actually do some work."

Like Dax has eluded to, I have heard sketchy rumors/personal aco$!#*s from Williams-fund types and other seemingly connected Lawrence folks for years about Compton's involvement with the KU athletic department.  

The KU athletic department's level of involvement with shady operators is simply astounding.  

Kent McCarthy, adjunct professor in the graduate business school is a big booster, and also runs Jayhawk Capital in JoCo.... a private equity fund.  He would routinely bring in / conference call David Whittig (Weststar scandal) and Andrew Wiederhorn (Wilshire REIT scandal) to speak to the his portfolio management students  (http://www.business.ku.edu/facultyresearchcenter-apmpeople) as these were close business relationships of his.  One of the best guests was Craighill Redwine, a private equity fund manager, who was at the time the father-in-law of Quinn Snyder while Quinn was coaching at Mizzou....and Ol' Quinner would stay at Doug Compton's house when Mizzou would come to KU.....and as the story go those fellas had very similar interests  :fatty:

Lungstrum is a massive KU fan.  He has a big house right across the street from Campus on the west side, right next door to the Delta Chi house (same street as the Chi-O fountain).   His son, Justin (good dude), went to Yale for undergrad (just like his old man) and KU for law school (just like his old man).  The entire family are massive KU fans.   Massive.   I'd say that they are good people, from my interactions with them, but definitely shouldn't be involved in making crucial decisions that would impact the welfare of KU....far, far to biased to remain impartial.

Quote
The University of Kansas athletic department announced two more resignations Friday of staff members with deep ties to the ticket office.

In an e-mail to boosters, the department said that Brandon Simmons, assistant athletics director for sales and marketing, and Jason Jeffries, assistant director of ticket operations, had resigned.

Jim Marchiony, KU’s associate athletic director for external relations, declined to discuss the resignations or say whether they were related to an investigation of ticket office operations and the Williams Educational Fund that was ordered by the university’s chancellor.


The Williams Fund is the primary vehicle that Jayhawk boosters use to contribute to the athletic department and acquire game tickets.

Neither Simmons nor Jeffries has a listed telephone number, and they could not be reached for comment.

Last week, an Olathe lawyer said that his client sparked a federal criminal investigation into whether someone had improperly taken men’s basketball tickets from the university and sold them illegally.

The federal inquiry appears to be focused on whether NCAA Tournament tickets, and perhaps season-ticket packages, were taken illegally from the university — possibly for years — and sold through outside channels.

The resignations of Simmons and Jeffries joined those last month of former Williams Fund director Rodney Jones and his boss, Ben Kirtland, the head of fund raising for Kansas Athletics Inc. and the associate athletic director for development.

Simmons had served as an assistant director in the department’s ticket office, joining Kansas Athletics in May 2005 and working in the ticket office until becoming the assistant athletics director of sales and marketing in December, according to the announcement.

Jeffries joined the ticket office staff in July 2003 and became assistant director of ticket operations in early 2004.

Jones was director of the ticket office before becoming the assistant athletic director in charge of the Williams Fund in 2004. Kirtland was the highest-ranking official working directly with the Williams Fund.

According to KU’s website, 4,200 Williams Fund members contribute million of dollars each year to finance all athletic scholarships for about 550 university athletes.

Unless the money did find it's way to the players, this doesn't have anything to do with winning.

This could be only about the greed of 5 or 6 employees and the incompetence of their boss for not catching them.

Congrats on your regular season super bowl wins in your sole successful sport.  It's garbage athletic programs like ku that have the the conference in danger of being looted by the Big 10. 

hey ku, hop on our back, we will try and carry you awhile longer but we have to worry about ourselves at some point.  Sure, the E8 run- national love affair, return of Hall of Fame coach BS coupled with the top 20 men's track and baseball teams are making waves but us and Texas needs some help at some point.

Roger Morningstar has coached some of those summer traveling teams, one of which included his son, Brady, who committed to Kansas in 2006. Since Jones, Freeman and Roger Morningstar allegedly engaged in scalping tickets through the Pump brothers in 2002, summer traveling teams financed by the Pump brothers have featured at least nine players who went on to play for the Jayhawks. Among them were nationally recruited players Mario Chalmers, David Padgett, Omar Wilkes, Tyrel Reed, Elijah Johnson, Jeff Withey, Travis Releford and Brady Morningstar.

Chalmers’ father, Ronnie, also coached the Pump brothers’ summer traveling team in Alaska, before being hired as the director of basketball operations at KU in 2005. He eventually resigned that position in 2008. And the sons of head coach Bill Self and assistant coach Danny Manning – Tyler Self and Evan Manning – are both currently listed on the rosters of the Pump brothers’ summer traveling teams. Coach Bill Self and Perkins have attended the Pumps’ annual retreat held for coaches and administrators.

it really is kind of weird that sinks, morningstar, scot pollard and self all own on comptons street. it's just weird. it's not like it's a neighborhood or anything. it's a little street just north of the hyvee on sixth. no more than ten houses. used to only be compton and now these other people all own on there. it's weird. not to mention that self got his place from the felon who ratted everything out.

Did you seriously scoop ljw, kc star and kietz.  I mean what terrible, terrible newspapers we have.  It is just embarrassing.

wow. color me shocked that $elf apparently gave up his house in fall creek farms for one next door to doug compton on a street (bauer brook ct) that i'm pretty sure comptom owned all the land to at one time and has started to develop over the past five years. a couple of other interesting names on that street too.

http://www2.ljworld.com/propertyvalues/?q=Bill+Self


http://www2.ljworld.com/propertyvalues/?q=bauer+brook+ct


 :nono:

yeah, i mean nothing fishy there i'm sure. self just randomly decided to give up his million dollar plus house in fall creek farms to purchase a different million dollar plus house (located about a half mile west of his) from a convicted felon who happened to know a ton about the illegal actions going on in the ku athletic dept. and who also happened to be a business part w/ roger morningstar. the same roger morningstar who's son somehow received a scholarship to play ku basketball at the age of 20 after being a very pedestrian highschool player at free state high and also happens to own property on the same little street.

add the fact that it's basically doug comptons street and the fact that all those other people own or owned property there and it just seems almost unreal.


anybody that has spent any time in lawrence and thinks that this stops w/ just jones, freeman and morningstar is dillusional. :chirpchirp:

With the new NCAA it won't be a big deal . . . the NCAA simply doesn't care about this kind of $hit anymore, look at USC, they've been hmming and hawing over that one for close to 3 years now.   The NCAA has gone from proactive enforcement to reactive and limp enforcement.   The last great witch hunt the NCAA conducted was against Alabama Football, and when some Alabama booster lawyers took the NCAA to court, the NCAA turned tail and ran away from all of this stuff.   Now there has to not only be a smoking gun, but bodies lying all over the floor before the NCAA even answers the phone.

Because there was no mystery about those agreements, the only mystery agreement was the deal with Prince.    Snyder's LLC was listed by name in his employment contract . . . payments to Krause, Wesier and Snyder's LLC were listed in K-State athletic department financial disclosures.   The only issue at hand was the use of an emprise account to make those payments and the timing of those payments to the individual LLC's which is solely a respective LLC vs IRS issue.

Who knows??  That was an issue between the respective LLC's and the Feds . . . or better stated, the accounting firm that did the study said there MAY be an issue with the IRS for the respective LLC's depending on how the LLC's treated the payments on their books.    What people forget is that the study also found that K-State still owed Snyder and/or his LLC a lot of money.    The Bull$hit about all of what happened is that Weiser's "letter of understanding" about Weefer's role in athletics and his new employment contract weren't being made public and nobody bothered to file a FOIA request, because everybody likely assumed it was just a regular old employment contract . . . and thus the "letter of understanding", Weiser consulting his own f_cking athletic department, and buyout pieces never saw the light of day until after the fact.   Also nobody bothered to go get K-State's IRS disclosure for non profits . . . I forget what form it is, but if they had, they would have seen the payments to Krause and Weiser's LLC's right there in black and white.

Foulston Siefkin LLP . . . the firm ku hired.   Hmm, lets take a look.

Partners:

Stan Andeel- Partner ku undergrad

James M. Armstrong – Partner ku Undergrad, ku JD

Gary L. Ayers – Partner-Partner ku undegrad, ku JD
    
Brooke Bennett Aziere – Partner ku JD

Mark A. Biberstein – Partner ku JD

Holly A. Dyer – Partner ku JD

Charles P. Efflandt – Partner ku JD

Jay F. Fowler – Partner ku JD

 . . . I think I see a trend here . .  .







To be fair, you try to find a law firm in the region that doesn't have a ton of KU law grads on their payroll that would be willing to skew judgement for a few season(stolen) tickets.

AP says it could be up to $3 mil.
Quote
Associated Press
LAWRENCE, Kan. -- An independent investigation into the Kansas athletic department says at least $1 million worth of tickets were sold inappropriately during the past five years.

The investigation conducted by a Wichita law firm showed that five Kansas athletics staffers and a consultant sold or used at least 17,609 basketball tickets, 2,181 football tickets and a number of parking passes and other passes for personal purposes. Many were relayed to brokers.

The investigation estimated the losses could be as much as $3 million -- more than $887,000 from basketball tickets -- and believe the scam could have started several years earlier.

The university said it will take immediate measures to prevent future wrongdoing within the ticket office. It is also working with federal authorities investigating the allegations.

The rationalizations from my ku co-workers is precious, and relies on extremely low IQ.  Their story is basically that the money didn't come from any bank accounts of the athletic dept.  Apparently not putting money in that bank account that should have gone to the athletic dept is NOT stealing.  I like the baldness of assuming every one is idiotic enough to buy that story.

Weren't these tickets complimentary based on contributions to the Williams Fund? If so, KU didn't really miss out on any ticket revenue, as they already received their donation. They just stole the ticket from whatever donor should have received it.

It's about plausible deniability Ben . . . this was a strictly a cash business, making it much easier funnel money and much for anyone to track.  

Rich White Kid Redshirts . . . who can account if Rich White Kid Redshirt "loans" Sherron Collins $300 bucks.

Who can account if Roger Morningstar goes back to the safe and pulls out a wad of cash for Brady to go "distribute".

Who can account for Mario Chalmers stopping buy the house and getting some walking money from dad, that he "loans" to some of his team mates.

Damn . . . this isn't hard.

Anyone without a pro-KU agenda can see this for what it really is. I would react in the exact same way if this news came out about any other school, especially one with a recent national championship. If this news were about K-State, I would probably react about like you have. Don't worry though. The NCAA won't do anything to poor KU.

Perkins as Kansas athletic director had either hired or promoted everyone involved in the ticket scandal, and he had more or less created the system that was so thoroughly abused, and he was in charge of the athletic department while this fun bit of malfeasance was going on. For this, well, let him explain:

“I accept responsibility, not for any criminal activity, but because I am the athletic director and it happened during my watch,” Perkins said.

It doesn't surprise me one bit.  I played AAU basketball back in the day, and Morningstar was the head coach of the Converse All-Stars.  The guy has connections and  makes quite a bit of money.

Ben?  Care to comment?  Seems like there is some confusion on whether or not you did play hoops, or didn't.  Picture would suffice.

Maybe he meant PAL not AAU.  I played PAL in T-town, great league.

Charlette Blubaugh's neighbor   Reply
I remember someone posting on here about the same time Rodney Jones was put on administrative leave. It seems like I remember they were neighbors of Blubaugh and commented about the $200,000? they invested in landscape and a pool. I laughed at the time, thinking nobody could possibly scam more than say $5,000 per year in tickets without getting caught...boy was I wrong!


Quote
attached to the Final Investigative Report is a copy of a email conversation between Blubaugh and a neighbor who identifies himself as a K-Stater. He asks her if she can help him score some tickets for KSU vs KU football game as he has relatives coming to town. She responds by asking him if he would like to have eight seats for free.

Yes, it's our very own. It was all over this board yesterday and this morning. He was interviewed for TV by his wife's competitor.

A ku fan told me last night that his friend that worked at the ticket office distributing student tickets used to take several season packages and sell them to non-students. He didn't even know people higher up than him were doing the same thing on a much larger scale. It's just rampant over there.

I'm sure Ben played bigtime ball and this is all a misunderstanding.  Dude knows just about everything.   :alleyoop:  <-------  Ben and his boy balling in the big time AAU circuit.

I was one of the last 10 students who they let into the Texas A&M game at Allen in 2006 (Acie Law :jerk: ). There was a big dust-up at the time about 100-200 students being shut out of the game despite purchasing tickets. This stuff certainly makes you wonder.

Also worth noting: I was in the second row of the student seats at the Oral Roberts game in '06 :facepalm:

If this indicates ticket theft, KSU is fracked.

Seems like there were students turned away at a couple of big games last year.

Pretty sure they oversell.  Either that, or I am believing exactly what they want me to... :dunno:

-Also, Perkins allocates all comp tickets (yet didn't know anything about this).

-Oh, our buddy the neighbor is in article.

That's just overselling. Perfectly legasl as far as I know. The tickets even stated that "this ticket does not guarentee entrace" or w/e.

“Pressed for details on who he was delivering the tickets to in the hotel rooms, Dave Freeman refused.
“Not going there,” Freeman said. “One of them was about 250 pounds and he [expletive] talked like [he had a New Jersey accent]. You seen Goodfellas? I don’t know who the [expletive] they were. I can honestly tell you, I don’t know who the [expletive] they were. It was ‘This is the room you go to, this is the guy you need to see.’ There were no [expletive] names. The door would open and a guy would be standing there with a gun. You walk in, do the deal and you’re out.”

Nahhhhh, they purposely oversold because they knew the demand was going to be through the roof once we beat Texas. I'm pretty sure they even released a statement about it before the ku game ("Tickets were oversold, not gaurenteed enterence etc.")

Our Athletic Department might be stupid but we aren't crooks

Actually, it has nothing to do with beating Texas and everything to do with making the students buy football tickets to get basketball tickets this year. The student section in the LHC Bill Snyder Family Stadium is much larger than the student section in Bramlage Coliseum.
