As the article states, this is still under investigation and no arrests have been made or suspects named. The place where this allegedly occurred is home to about 40 students, roughly half of which are KU men’s basketball players.

Only a matter of time. You build a palace and treat them like kings eventually there is gonna be problems. Maybe now, maybe later but it's gonna happen.

Wow, when there is smoke...that's not good for Self

All five people listed as witnesses in connection with the reported rape are members of the KU men’s basketball team, according to the police report.

First of all, if true, I feel awful for the girl. No idea if she willingly put herself in a bad situation or not, but doesn't mean she deserves any sort of sexual assault.

Second - why do I have a feeling if KU bball players are in some way at fault in this, we won't see punishments for a long time.

“Because all you guys aren’t going to do the right stuff. I need to teach to you how to get around all of this stuff too. If you have a crew, one of them fools need to know that they’re going to jail. I know a lot of you aren’t going to drink, i know a lot of you aren’t going to use drugs but still get yourself a fall guy.”

And to go with your bolded, I thought more smoke was here.

Keary would not confirm whether the runaway report was connected to the alleged rape.

The police report in the runaway case, also requested and obtained by the Journal-World, does not list any information about the runaway. However, the witnesses in the runaway case were the same two women interviewed in the rape investigation and a sixth KU basketball player.

Sounds like that 6th KU player could be in trouble.

When KU built this luxury hotel complex for basketball and I heard a few non-basketball players were going to live there as tokens to avoid it looking like pro basketball my first thought was there will be some trouble.

This will be like Suh hitting parked cars in the middle of the night several times in Lincoln and somehow never being intoxicated just a bad late night driver multiple times.

I hope it never happens, but IF something like this ever happens at ISU, I hope they clean house for all involved, and the fanbase is reasonable enough to condemn the actions of some twisted individuals.

They will start looking at this on April 4th.

Wait......I mean March 20th.

Nah, they'll wait until all players who were potentially involved have left the school. Then they deny giving anyone special treatment

This whole situation is messed up. A 16 year old? Seriously?

I was looking through KUs roster and was reminded that Tyler Self, Bill's son, is on the team. Coach Self doesn't have an excuse that he doesn't know what's going on off the court. It's about to rain down on Tyler.

Disgusting

there needs to be an "oh snap" or "oh ****" reaction

 

[WastedTalent]

What's really messed up, is some KU fans on Phog, trying to prepare justification, if it does involve bball players.

There are some seriously disturbing things said.

In some states, 16 year olds can be statutory rape, sometimes dependent on an age difference with the child, but I don't think Kansas is one of them.

I'm sure we will get the usual in such cases, delay, which is already happening, and attacking the victim.

Just like Kirk knew about the free housing scandal from Brian?

This is Self's default status:

Self has plausible deniability, like any coach in a scandal, because he distances himself from any wrongdoing.

It is KU basketball. Nothing new here. Move along.
