Kansas will release public response to allegations of major NCAA violations on Thursday

"Thursday's response is expected to be similar to the one Kansas issued after learning of the original notice of allegations in September 2019. At the time, the school said it "emphatically rejects" the assertion that Adidas reps were considered boosters and agents by the NCAA."

The reaction should be 2 words and I'm not saying "Merry Christmas". Seriously, it's time to fight this thing to the bitter end. Take it through the courts. After UNC, this is a joke.

Although . . . . "Merry Christmas" would be a nice non sequitur :P

NCAA: "You guys are cheating!"

KU: "Merry Christmas to you too!!"

I like it, Bayhawk.

Kind of like when the Allied troops were surrounded at the Battle of the Bulge. The German general sent a messenger to the Allied commander telling him that he was completely surrounded and that if he and his troops surrendered, they'd save themselves from being obliterated.

The Allied commander replied with a single word message to the Germans, "NUTS".

I'd absolutely LOVE it if KU responded to the NCAA in the exact same way.

Not quite the short and sweet response y'all were hoping for.

Looks to me like this is going to take a long time to resolve.

Although not short, this is definitely sweet.

KU is fighting every point, with solid and sound arguments, and pointing out to the NCAA the ginormous can of worms that would be opened if the NCAA enforcement bozos arguments had any sound footing.

This “not-only-NO-but-HELL-NO (and don’t be so stupid, people!)” response is just what I hoped to see.

Now I have only read the EXSUM, and will get to the other documents when I can, but so far, so good.

Per Sasnak’s spot-on take and Bay’s retort, imagine this scene where Chevy is Bill Self and Brian Murray is the NCAA director with his enforcement staff minions. ;)
