This is why the Currie's whole "transparency" thing was so incredibly stupid and short sighted. For example, did Cheyenne go on and on about transparency? No, he mentioned integrity and then moved on. He didn't harp on it. I mean, KU had a worse scandal - people went to freaking jail. Yet our hayseed AD and UP start getting righteous and they've effectively painted themselves in a corner.
Currie almost has no other choice but to deny CK's appeal (actually, if he was smart - which he isn't- he'd handle this internally...any questions about transparency would be answered with "Transparency is important and critical however I can't violate a student's right to privacy"). What's worse is that our shirt tuck fan base eats all of this self-righteousness up. And then at the same time wonders why we can't hang banners. Do you think Bob Krause would have handled this in the same manner?
