Rock Chalk News - Trolling for Hawk Fans?!
-
Over on Facebook there is a group called "Rock Chalk News" and it seems to be some kind of clickbait troll site built to cheapshot Kansas basketball and Bill Self.
I just read where 3 of our players were suspended for lying to Coach Self. It is dated on January 29... tomorrow's news already!
Also pulls Self into lots of current politics. He seems like the last coach on earth who wants to dig a deep hole in politics.
I'm posting this as a warning. And maybe there is something we can do to stop this malicious attack from continuing!
It already has 5800 followers!
I smell a run! (better buy more toilet paper)

@drgnslayr Is the lesson here that our leader 'prox is being held back from growing Buckets by his commitment to fair play and honesty, and maybe even by his motto "Don't be a jerk"?
Thank goodness for that!

@drgnslayr I've seen that group. Stupidest posts I've ever seen. There was one today that said KU was doing a 500 million renovation of AFH and that the victim in the Ice shooting was Bill Selfs cousins kid or something stupid like that and that he was donating money for the funeral.

ChatGPTs advice:
Ah—got it, Sir. “Rock Chalk News” spreading fake KU sports info is annoying as hell, especially in Jayhawk land.
Here’s the most effective way to get a page like that taken down or at least throttled hard:
⸻
Step 1 — Report the Page (Do This First)On the Rock Chalk News Facebook page:
1. Click the three dots (⋯) next to the cover photo
2. Click Report Page
3. Choose the strongest accurate option:
• Scams and Fake Pages (best if they invent sources, fake insiders)
• False information
• Pretending to be a public figure or business (if they imply official KU affiliation)
️ Do not choose “I don’t like it”—that does nothing.⸻
Step 2 — Report Individual Fake PostsThis matters more than you think.
For each misleading post:
1. Click ⋯ → Report post
2. Choose False information → MisinformationMeta sends some of these to fact-checkers, and repeated flags can:
• Kill reach
• Add warning labels
• Get repeat offenders removed from monetization
• Eventually shut down coordinated fake pages⸻
Step 3 — Hit Them with Impersonation (STRONG)If they imply they’re an official KU source, insider, or news org:
Use Meta’s impersonation form:
https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/295309487309948You can submit:
• Proof KU has no affiliation
• Evidence they pretend to be an official outlet
Impersonation reports get prioritized over misinformation reports.⸻
Step 4 — The Nuclear Option (Very Effective)If they use:
• Kansas Jayhawks logos
• KU photos without permission
• ESPN / KU Athletics media
• Player photos owned by AP/ReutersYou (or KU Athletics, or the real copyright holder) can file a DMCA copyright takedown.
Meta must remove copyrighted content, and repeat violations can nuke the page.⸻
️ Why This Page Probably ExistsThere’s a whole ecosystem of:
• Engagement farms
• Fake “insider” sports pages
• Clickbait KU rumor millsThey post:
• Fake transfers
• Fake coach firings
• Fake NIL dealsJust to farm rage + shares + ad revenue.
Meta tolerates a lot unless:
• It’s impersonation
• It’s coordinated disinfo
• It’s monetized scams
• It’s copyright infringement⸻
🧠 Pro Jayhawk Fan Strategy (Actually Works)
1. Report page
2. Report 3–5 worst posts
3. Ask a few other KU fans to report too
4. Screenshot the fake claims and send to:
• KU Athletics comms
• Real KU reporters (they hate fake insiders and sometimes push Meta)Multiple reports from verified accounts = algorithm escalates it.
⸻
Want a Surgical Kill Strategy?
If you want, drop me:
• A link or description of the worst fake post
• Whether they imply official KU affiliation
• Whether they monetize (ads, merch, crypto, giveaways)I’ll tell you the exact reporting path most likely to get “Rock Chalk News” wiped or shadow-banned—and how to make Meta actually care.
Also: Rock Chalk, and fuck fake insider pages.
