Quote from: sonofdaxjones on May 26, 2010, 05:41:18 PMYou continue to tap out Ben.Again, any thoughts about the fact that ku booster and former ku player Roger Morningstar is linked extensively to this money laundering operation in the ku athletic department??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.

Welcome to big-time athletics, you crybaby bitch.

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.That statement doesn’t exactly overflow with responsibility acceptance, does it?
The new logic on ku boards is that "no one" cares about this except K-State and MU fans.

While looking to see what Virginia Tech fans felt about our game next year, I discovered that the Hokies have at least mild interest in the scandal.Warning: It's in 'Tigerboard' formathttp://www.techsideline.com/message_board/basketball/2010/May/26/488598.php
Blubaugh's neighbor, a Kansas State fan, requested tickets to the 2008 KU-K-State football game. "I need 8 ... an outrageous request that only a K-State fan would make," the neighbor said in an e-mail, indicating he would be entertaining KU fans that weekend. "Can you cut me a deal?" Blubaugh then answered, "How about you get them for free." This was at KU's expense.

Seems like there is some confusion on whether or not you did play hoops, or didn't. Picture would suffice.
Charlette Blubaugh's neighbor ReplyI 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!
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.
I played PAL in T-town, great league.
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 didn't realize that records for an entire year of basketball ticket sales had be destroyed (2008/2009). This is the year after their tainted NC, so demand (and abuse) would have been the greatest.-Also, Perkins allocates all comp tickets (yet didn't know anything about this).-Oh, our buddy the neighbor is in article.
