I'll take Barnstorming Tour end of career payoff for a $1000 Alex.

Anyone know why the KC Star isnt breaking this story? Seems like it should be them doing the reporting, you know since they are the biggest local newspaper and all.

[AbeFroman]

It's Al Bohl's fault.

Yeah, 610am did a sufficient job pointing that out and making it the main revelation.

i like the part about when the dude got onto the MARTA with $500k cash in his pockets

Can you imagine icing a half million dollar bro on public transportation?!?!   

[Dugout DickStone]

I wonder how this melds with the other little money laundering/funneling operation rumors that are strong with Lawrence and the ku basketball program.  The rich white walkons, the girlfriend money, Seff's BFF in Doug Compton etc. etc. etc   

Like I've always said, we are so far behind them on this front, we'll never catch up. 

remember when Ben said this was just rodney jones make some side money by selling a few tickets!?

Yeah, just a little one man operation.

Rodney Jones needs to be on Bill Simmons' Reggie Cleveland all-star team.

[WillieWatanabe]

At least some uk fans are realizing they are fans of a trash university...

Perkins has gotten this AD to unparalleled heights…but I’m starting to question how we got there.

I feel like I need to take a shower. It’s doesn’t matter who’s involved. It doesn’t matter how far up the chain it goes. Because at this point….the nation is reading about it happening at KANSAS.

Lot of haters there.  They can eat crap.

The bigger question here is . . . who at ku will get fired??   The womens soccer coach or the softball coach??  . . . and . . . how many scholarships will womens swimming lose??

"The AD has taken a hard look at itself, left no stone unturned and leveled a stiff self imposed penalty.  As of today, we will be postponing the building of the Gridiron Club.  We hope this satisfies the FBI, IRS and NCAA and they conclude, as we have, that no further penalty is needed."

Wait until Jones flips. 

This is going to be spectacular.

[sonofdaxjones]

Well I guess we'll find out at 1:30 Central what underlings are going to get tossed  under the bus.   Meanwhile Lew and Seff will likely continue to do business with an organization that has been noted for being corrupt and funneling recruits for years.

That article had slight implications that the mob may have been buyers of such tickets.

If true, this would be awesome.

Good to see Brady McCullough has been all over this story . . . oh wait . . .

[sonofdaxjones]

It's all Kevin Keitzman's fault.

Really . . . really . . . the IRS and the FBI are investigating the ku athletic department, now its revealed that hundred of thousands of dollars were exchanging hands, a known corrupt basketball company is involved that has had significant contact with ku administrators and coaches over the years, a former ku player/booster/father of a current ku player is involved . . . LOL, gotta love Tardville.

[catzacker]

until there's a quote by someone that says "...and we gave that money to [insert ku player]" the whole story, while wildly entertaining, probably won't amount to much of anything.  Maybe Sweet Lew somehow gets canned, but I doubt it. I do hope we get a them-crackers-be-shakin' moment though.
