Hmmm...guess what -- even after the facts point to the possibility that insiders at Kansas were taking prime tickets and tournament tickets, then selling them on the "Black Market" for the purpose of creating a big "slush fund" so they could benefit personally or hide cash payments, ahem, to you know where...

is it any surprise, that all the powerful, influiential Kansas alums and donors have all taken the exact same stance..
they are not the least bit interested in knowing any facts...
they just want the investigation ended and have already made up their mind that nothing wrong was done...so they will begin pulling their strings..
but does anyone actually think the NCAA will ever check, unless pressured to do so by the media and bloggers??
Hey - it's Kansas............had it been BU or Star trucking, there'd be five NCAA investigators on campus already!
(eg- Reggie Bush, OJ Mayo, Jim Calhoun violations have yet gone unpunished).

Here's even more fun....
a story about a twitter message from ex-Calipari starter Chris Douglas-Roberts (at Memphis)...and he talks about how he got some pretty nice freebies as a recruit just before he committed to Calipari & Memphis...
thus even more violations???

With an independent review seeking answers regarding operations involving Kansas Athletics Inc.’s ticket office and Williams Fund, others are posing questions of their own. Among them: Is the focus limited to the actions of a single employee, one already placed on administrative leave for undisclosed reasons? Or could the probe stretch into larger policies, programs […]

even though Federal investigators are looking into this ticket selling scam and scandal because it appears even federal and tax laws were violated...
the NCAA is "hurrying along" at roughly the same pace they took in the Reggie Bush case..
and as expected, they just don't seem to care about scandals at Kansas..

BUT -- the news today is that a crooked, criminal politician/lawyer in Kansas is turning stool pigeon and singing in exchange for his sentence being reduced to probation...
BUT - the government stabbed the guy in the back after he testified about the ticket scandal and sentenced the guy hard!! He's ticked!!

A defense attorney complained Thursday his client wasn't rewarded for helping federal authorities launch their investigation into The University of Kansas basketball ticket scandal. Instead, Lawren…

I find it interesting that this ticket scandal at Kansas is big enough that it's resulting in shady plea bargaining deals and efforts to pry testimony out of crooks!! This is the kind of stuff that generally only happens in Chicago politics with guys like Blago!
