You better have some rough ridin' answers, Currie.

[Trim]

I have a feeling that Currie and Frank would have loved to sweep this, the Pullen/Curtis Dillards shop and drop, and all the failed drug tests but some one has a big powertrip inside KSUAD. Probably the director of compliance. Would look bad to fire said Director as he/she would come back and squeal. She/he better never be late to the office.

I think this is probably closer to the truth than anything.  I'm guessing Frank and Currie would love to have the power/resources/experience to effectively cover up crap like this, but they don't. 

If you think about it, it actually makes a lot of K-State0 sense that we would want to be able to cover more crap up but just end up bumbling around for a little while and then telling on ourselves cause we're K-State0.

Yes, if only our athletic director had the power to manage policies and protocols for his staff in the athletic department.

[Dugout DickStone]

i think part of the problem is the perception that currie and the compliance people appear to think that busting student athletes and prosecuting them to the fullest is part of their job. it shouldn't be. i mean what happened? some western union person called and said "hey, i think jamar just got some money from from curtis malone" and then the compliance people rang the compliance police alarm and immediately notified the NCAA and started investigating immediately based on that? i mean wtf? do they get bonuses every time they can keep one of our basketball players from playing a game or something.

instead, they should've been like "lol. ok thanks. i'll look into it" and then hung up. then maybe send Martin an email to an email account that they know he doesn't check and then go get a spicy at rab and call it a day.

Or if it were ku the number to the Compliance Dept has been out of service for 3 years and the narc never gets through.

As an aside, I worked at that Dillons back in the days before I was cool.  It is full of Snyder loving tucks.

[Trim]

It's really just unfortunate that this rogue director of compliance was able to slip into the department and usurp all of Currie's power when it comes to things like this.

People like him is why I hate Whistleblower laws.

Until this weekend I never knew how easy it was to take down a basketball program.  But, thanks to K-State now I know that any rat fink with a bone to pick easily can.

Once I find KU's compliance number, I'm going to pass it along to Dax and he's going to tell them every Doug Compton story in the book.  And trust me there are some juicy ones.

So note to Bill Self, enjoy it while it last because once Zulu catches wind, all of your starters are going to get benched for NC State.

I'm not talking about power internally, dumbass.  I'm talking about the power/resources to make the Western Union narc STFU and go home.  The power/resources to make everyone at Dillard's keep their rough ridin' mouths shut.  How do you think Lew got away with disappearing all the crap he did at KU? Respect, fear, and resources...and the balls to use them.  Currie seems to be good at raising money but horrible at making little crap just go away.  My argument with Dax isn't that Currie's a fantastic AD and we should shower him with praise.  All I was saying is that it doesn't make sense that he purposefully seeks out little compliance events like this and "throws people under the bus" to further his career.

I can't believe you're not smart enough to get my point, so I have to assume you're just being a dick on purpose.

Again, I'm not the MysPerson making an argument that Currie thinks this episode is good for his career.

Doesn't take a lot of power/resources to implement Daris' hang-up/e-mail/r-a-b plan.

Speaking of being a dick, balls?

They'll tell you "thanks for the information, we'll get right on that."  Then they'll hang up and say "Another one called about Compton, we better punish our players" and burst into uncontrollable laughter as they take the paper they wrote the stories on and shred it.

Dax, unleash the hounds.

And don't hold back.  I'm talking everything.  And make sure they know about Doug Compton and the way he uses his company to divert money to all the players by employing their moms and stuff.

Zulu will have no choice at that point.  The reputation of the University is TOO IMPORTANT to not take action immediately.




 

[EMAWzified]

I feel our anger is misdirected.

We obviously have a mole following our players around and when they slip up, they call the compliance office and report us.

The mole needs to be exposed and taken out.

Obviously Victor. Most to gain.

[fr@ck me]

maybe this has been said, but doesn't anyone else want to take some money over to KU and start handing it out with someone in the bushes taking pictures.  Then email said pictures to the NCAA on Wednesday and see if they suspend any of their players?  I do.

FYI, anyone wondering if this had something to do with Spring Break, today is the first Monday of Spring Break, class was in session last week.

I would wonder if it made any difference at all.

What exactly would that accomplish?

You wouldn't even have to do that. All you need to do is find out when and where one of their important players was at a certain point in time. Then you e-mail/call the compliance office/NCAA and tell them you think you saw the player receiving a couple of hundred cash from someone at that location/time. They ask the player about it, and he either a) admits he was there but swears he didn't get any cash [smoke] or b) denies he was there, even though he was, because now he's scared, which, if there is any other info showing he was there at that point in time, makes the allegation look even more plausible [smoke and fire]. 

Of course, that would be assuming that KU would handle things the same was as K-State would, which they don't. As this hypothetical shows, the NCAA's model compliance process is laughable, if that's what K-State is following.

[chum1]

have you guys gotten your rough ridin' answers yet?

[michigancat]

i think part of the problem is the perception that currie and the compliance people appear to think that busting student athletes and prosecuting them to the fullest is part of their job. it shouldn't be. i mean what happened? some western union person called and said "hey, i think jamar just got some money from from curtis malone" and then the compliance people rang the compliance police alarm and immediately notified the NCAA and started investigating immediately based on that? i mean wtf? do they get bonuses every time they can keep one of our basketball players from playing a game or something.

instead, they should've been like "lol. ok thanks. i'll look into it" and then hung up. then maybe send Martin an email to an email account that they know he doesn't check and then go get a spicy at rab and call it a day.

Considering Curtis Malone told everyone who would listen the details as soon as the news was out, I wouldn't be surprised if someone asked Jamar about it and he told them what happened.

Fair enough, but that discussion occurs after a week or so at ku.  Not the morning they hear about it.

When did KSU hear about it?

And wash it all down with a cool and refreshing Long Island Iced Tea.

Hey, assholes...it's Monday Morning...no need to ruin my week by talking about things that I will not have for a couple months

If it wasn't the day of, why not play him if he played the game before unless someone else reported it.  No way we sat on it one game and not the other.

Slimz, at the end of the day, John Currie made a pledge to us. 

And that pledge was that he would run a model intercollegiate athletics program.  "A model intercollegiate athletics program can signify many things but we have five core measures that we will use here at K-State to define a model program,” Currie says. “And, overall, when people are talking about intercollegiate athletics and the programs in the nation that do it right, Kansas State should and can be one of those model programs.”

At the end of the day can the Squawks call themselves a model intercollegiate athletics department?  Can they say they do it right?  CAN THEY?

I hope this morning when those people put their red and blue attire upon themselves and gallivant into their offices and tote their mop buckets and carouse about their Sweet 16 appearance they keep that in mind.

They may win the basketball games, but we have the integrity and transparency in relation to ethics, finance and NCAA compliance.
