Meh, it will take all year to do an "internal investigation" while "waiting for the legal process to unfold" and some scrub will get kicked off.
KU Police investigating report of teenage girl raped at KU’s McCarthy Hall
- Thread starter chuckd4735
- Start date
What bothers me is this "16-year-old girl, who was not a KU student, was visiting residents in the building."
A 16 year old comes to visit and you don't watch out for her?

I really thought of that as well after the post about Self's son. At least the Self's know where Tyler lives while Kirk and his wife played stupid and have said money doesn't matter to them.
But back to the story.
**** Kansas, **** rape, and **** people that think a sport or a team is more important than a person's well being.
Please let this destroy their program.
Pretty horrible that this supposedly happened to a 16 year old girl.
I'm sure KU lawyers/admin. are all over it and nothing will happen - because - KU Basketball.

Two notes:
1. The incident happened on Dec 18th, but is not made public until Jan 24th. I wonder why the information got released now?
2. The report is made public on the morning after KU's loss to WV. Could knowing it was coming have affected their performance at WV?

On your second note, it was tied with 9 minutes to go, so who knows if it affected the team or not.
I'm sure the word of several teammates that nothing untoward happened will make this all go away.
KU fan discussion on it. As you'd expect some worried about their players, some not worried....and a couple hoping the girl is okay.

I would put my life savings on this investigation "continuing" but nothing being found until after basketball season, when half the team decides to go pro and suspiciously the same group that declared they were going pro were a part of this.
Ha, like the team hangs out with the boss's son. They probably look at him more like a known mole in their midst.
They stated in the article that the police will sometimes not release the details while gathering evidence of an ongoing investigation. That's at least one way to spin it.
I guess I view the lack of any suspensions so far troubling but not surprising. Five basketball players know something about the rape of a child that also involved drug usage by the suspect. One basketball player knows something about a runaway child. What are the odds none of these players were involved in the drug usage? And what did they witness and were they in a position to intervene on the girl's behalf?
Is it possible that they were just neighbors who didn't know what was going on? Or that they were known to have returned late that night from the game, so they want to know what they "witnessed?"
I want to bash KU basketball as much as the next person, but just because some players are being called "witnesses" does not necessarily mean that they even knew that they knew anything about the crimes until being questioned.

“We were all excited when Evan committed and we all had high expectations for him,” Self said. “This semester did not go the way Evan had anticipated. We support his decision to take some time away to figure out what he wants to do moving forward. He’s a tremendous young man and we wish him nothing but the best.”
