oscar should be fired for cause here, honestly. Probably Gene, too.
There is a good chance they knew none of these details as the investigation was taking place. They suspended him as soon as he was detained and the media now is just getting accounts of what happened.
Can't blame anyone for not taking action when nothing is known of the situation.
“We are aware of the situation involving Amaad Wainright. Amaad fully cooperated with authorities and was not charged. To our knowledge, this matter is resolved.”

“We are aware of Amaad’s situation, and due to the seriousness of the charges he has been indefinitely suspended from our men’s basketball team per athletic department policy. We take matters such as these very seriously and will re-evaluate his status as we learn more information.”
That first official statement is from early February, after the incident became known to the public and after Wainwright had told KSU's cops his side of things being that he "sped off and ran from the police after he was stopped on Jan. 17 and went home after he got away."
KSU knew what had happened. They allowed him to stay based on his not having been charged yet.
Conveniently, he wasn't charged until the season concluded and roster spots needed to be opened.
