That's a whole lot of words for something you supposedly don't care about. Nice to know your program ranks right up there with the Louisville's and UNC's of the world when it comes to ****** behavior.

If they switch to Nike they would almost certainly start landing a higher rate of Top 20 players. There's zero doubt about that.
Rivals Top 20 recruits the last 4 years:
Tier One
Duke: 15
Kentucky: 14
Tier Two
Kansas: 5
Zona: 5
Oregon, Mich. St., UCLA: 3
Vandy, Western Kentucky, Texas, UNLV, Nova, Cal, LSU: 2
KU is the top of Tier Two. A switch to Nike would inevitably push them closer to the numbers put up by Duke and UK.
Yes, I was thinking the same. When Billy Bob brings all those freshmen into Bramlage for the first time, well, it's going to be fierce, to say the least.
Also, if the jury finds the Adidas guys not guilty, I suppose that means by default that Ku is guilty because they'd be saying the schools knew and benefited, thus no harm was done to them, no defraud on Ku by Adidas, i.e. not guilty. It's a strange twist in that way.
RandomFan cares so little what fans of other schools think that he spends more time on CF than Cyclone fans.
Message boards are for conversations. I am simply participating
No one is coming within 2 games of this KU team. Sorry, but this just isn't the year it ends.
KSU fans think they return an Elite Eight caliber squad when they really a Round of 32 caliber squad who lucked out when their #1 seed lost to a #16. They are good enough to beat some good teams, even KU, in any one game but not good enough to survive the 18 game Big 12 schedule on top. Harsh but true.
Says the KU fan that can't keep off the Iowa State message board.
I have posted a fair bit here the last week or so but since the redo of the site, I am not here much overall. I enjoy reading different opinions than mine and enjoy the healthy banter with opposing fans. It's oddly relaxing and fun and a nice break during this very stressful time at work.
But yet you feel a need to continue to give your opinion on an Iowa State board. If you don't "concern" with Cyclones fans comments regarding KU on the take, why do you even come to this site?
Good points here, KU could clearly cheat much, much better if they switched to Nike. Someone should really tell Self.
You may be right or not, that is why we play the games. Looking forward to the season as I always do.
He finally admitted he was an Iowa and Kansas fan, something he's never done before and hasn't posted since I called him out on him
I had seen him discuss this multiple times before, but you two seem to have it in for each other so to each their own, but I did dig a little to find this.
But if you play the games and the NCAA vacates the wins. Did they really happen?
As someone who hasn't paid much attention to this hearing and doesn't really want to read through piles of articles, how badly has Kansas been cheating? Are we talking paying a few guys here and there (expected) or are they right up there as one of the dirtiest programs around?
Feel free to put me on your ignore list if my participation here bothers you. I feel I offer a different perspective than most other users here and I try to stay within the parameters of the terms of usage while respecting the opinions of fellow posters. We all have our own point of view based on our preferences and fandom. No one has to read what I post.
So far there has not been any evidence that Kansas has actually paid anyone at all. Allegedly Preston got 90k from Adidas but as soon as KU found evidence of those wire transfers when investigation Preston's car, they held Preston out of any games and turned that info over to the ncaa.
And DeSousa's guardian allegedly got $60k from a Maryland booster and $2,500 from Adidas.
And an assistant coach for KU said that he would try to figure out how to fulfill a recruit's demands for money, a fake job and living arrangements for his family but before they actually did that he committed to Duke.
I think that's "it" as for what has come out.
The question really is "will KSU hang a banner for Wade's preseason POY win?"
It was right to give Wade that pick and he may win the real award; I dont care about that. KU likely has too many contributors to have someone with stats big enough to win the Big 12 POY award this year. That's not the award we are shooting for this year.
