so would you be in favor of KU having all of its wins stripped if it is proven that its players were't eligable to play?

Mr. Dent sounds like someone open to a little horse trading. I, for one, would contribute to his legal-defense fund in return for his conversations with the NCAA on performance-enhancing drugs and eligibility issues at KU.

In Sheep’s Clothing - Understanding and dealing with manipulative people
By George K. Simon



Good read and some nice insight into how covert-aggressive personalities use tactics to ensure they get their way and maintain a position of power over their victims.  In this instance, Lew Perkins psychologically mind-fracking his victims, otherwise known as Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) ku fans.

The “Diversion” and “Playing the Victim Role” manipulation tactics chapters are particularly salient.

Diversion – A moving target is hard to hit. When we try to pin a manipulator down or try to keep a discussion focused on a single issue or behavior we don't like, he's expert at knowing how to change the subject, dodge the issue or in some way throw us a curve. Manipulators use distraction and diversion techniques to keep the focus off their behavior, move us off-track, and keep themselves free to promote their self-serving hidden agendas.

Playing the Victim Role – This tactic involves portraying oneself as an innocent victim of circumstances or someone else's behavior in order to gain sympathy, evoke compassion and thereby get something from another. One thing that covert-aggressive personalities count on is the fact that less calloused and less hostile personalities usually can't stand to see anyone suffering. Therefore, the tactic is simple. Convince your victim you're suffering in some way, and they'll try to relieve your distress.

I took that class on serial killers ( ) and many of them have these same traits in their personalities.

Ron Prince, Lew Perkins, Pete Carrol - serial killers?

LOL.  It's amazing that people like you actually exist.  Hope you had fun crying yourself to sleep at night while KU fans were out partying and celebrating a national title. 

[LickNeckey]

wait so they knew Duhrel was ineligible?

do the right thing vacate the title.

was the 2008 title game a matchup of the two dirtiest coaches/programs in the history of college basketball?

Ben on the eve of the 2008 *National Title being vacated by the NCAA.

So much of your self worth wrapped up in that tainted event.  I'm extremely worried for you when it's all taken away.

The level of Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) today is at an all-time high.

"Medical Outfitters went out of business in 2007, and Glass says the company lost track of the exercise equipment."

This is my favorite part- Hey Lew, we're going out of business, and the equipment is only worth $15,000 to $35,000- but hell just keep it, we'll eat the cost and tell the IRS we don't know where that money went.

You're on borrowed time, Ben.  Live it up while you still can (in a Barry Bonds irrelevant home run record sort of way).*

actually, getting ready for NCAA regionals.  Someone has to carry this state and ku has the worst athletic dept in the north.

Weren't many of those tickets scalped, which most people take to mean as being sold at a premium?  If so, I'd think we'd be talking about amounts > face value.

The fact that over half of the posts on this board are related to KU, maybe?

This is exciting. It's like "What will come out tomorrow". More exciting than a coaching search!

Agree.

MU may be jumping in too.  GPC'ers saying Nick Wright promising something about Tony Mitchell coming out tomorrow.  KU fans will make a huge deal out of it if it is neg.

If Memphis already vacated all their wins and KU has too as well, who gets the bragging rights?

Just got some info that Mitchell may not be able to play at all.  My super secret text said his "college career is in jeopardy"

Man, being a cat is just soooooo sweet.

So, the theft from ku by it's own employees and some of its boosters is even larger than the top end of losses reported so far?
