Another huge area… school athletic programs are having solvency issues. We all think of how much money is in college sports. But the cost to run these programs is astronomical, especially if schools want a competitive program. Think about how many entities have a say in college sports… NCAA, Board of Regents, several areas within the university, state legislatures, federal government in several areas, municipal authorities… lots of watchful eyes, legislation, rules, redundant everything… and it all draws money from the program, directly and indirectly. All schools, including the blue bloods, can use a real boost in the financial arm. This will trickle down to the athletes beyond whatever royalties they can receive.

@kjayhawks In considering new horizons, check out NYT, WPost, and WSJournal online discounts. They almost all have really cheap specials for under $10 month for anywhere from 1 to 6 months. You can cancel their autorenewals and rotate to a different one. But, for a broad exposure that can be enlightening and entertaining, here is a website that is free that contains dozens of columnists from papers all over, and representing every part of the political spectrum. As well as advice, religion, business, science, medical and general knowledge articles, and (important to those of us without a local paper worth buying) COMICS–which often have more wisdom than the sages themselves. Explore the drop menu in the upper left because it contains many treasures–don’t just look at the links on the home page. arcamax.com

@kjayhawks Seemed like half our fouls were touch fouls but they had to draw blood to get called.

@Hawk8086 Yeah it might have been nice to see a little more defense down there. @Jayballer54 Nice post!

I don’t see Dotson leaving after this season. While he has incredible speed, his athleticism isn’t eye popping. He’s a backup in the NBA right now. I think he’s at least back next year, maybe the year after as well. His size, while solid, isn’t on par with a lot of NBA PGs. Remember, Grimes likely will move to the point in the NBA. He’s at least 3 inches taller than Dotson. That’s the type of player Dotson has to be prepared to go against every night in the NBA. I don’t think he makes that leap after this season. Steph Curry is thought of as a smaller player, but he’s listed at 6-3 and people attack him defensively because of his size. That’s the challenge Dotson faces at the next level.

I absolutely love beating a good team by 16 points and feeling like we lost.

KU junior Mitch Lightfoot, teammates discuss the flex seen around the world http://kusports.com/news/2018/sep/26/ku-junior-mitch-lightfoot-teammates-discuss-flex-s/

@DanR makes me think of the leg lamp in Christmas story. The “Soft Glow of Electric Sex" in the window.

Headline options continued… “Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. – they say I can’t play defense.” ~Malik Newman In the locker room afterward, someone handed Newman a final box score. He looked, not at his glorious line but at Allen’s. The Duke senior scored 12 points, but hit only 3 of 13 shots. And of course, there was that critical miss. (USA Today)

@wissox Unfortunately that is what most of us believed for a long time but information that came up recently indicates KU was one whisker away from getting the death penalty for a number of violations by Larry Brown. Apparently the penalty was deserved, that is not to say that if the name was Duke or Kentucky, KU would not have gotten away with it.

Ditto everyones sentiments. I love our Jayhawks, always will. But, they just got their asses handed to them by Okie state. I am officially tempering my expectations even further for the remaining guaranteed games. 1 Big 12 tourney game and 1 NCAA tourney game.

@HighEliteMajor If he is at odds with Coach Self and does not want to come back, his best option is the G League or overseas. I really believe a transfer is out of the question…but I could be wrong.

@JayHawkFanToo I am of the belief that our coaching staff hasn’t really stepped in to work on Doke’s FT stroke. It appears obvious, just from watching Doke at the line. I couldn’t describe his technique if I had to. He bends his wrist at an angle under the ball, much like youth players do before taught some technique. And then… if he misses a FT and has a second FT, he usually tries a different stroke. We have read before that our coaching staff usually doesn’t like to get in there and address player’s shot technique. This is more of a Bill Self concept where he wants those major changes to happen in the off season. In this particular case… we simply can’t wait until summer. We could easily go down in March because of Doke’s FT faults. We haven’t really seen many intentional fouls on Doke supporting a strategy of “hack a Doke”… but you know, and I know, that is going to change in March. Tournament teams step up a notch in competitiveness… they are going to use it to their advantage, and why wouldn’t they? I know I would be screaming at our coaches and players if we have to deal with a situation like a Doke that can’t even make half his FTs but we failed to take advantage of it!

@jaybate-1.0 I don’t know. We only have these silly exhibition games to base our opinions. From what I have seen so far, I’d say the #2 scorer could very well be Billy. I do think it is clear that he may have the second best scoring tools on the team, just behind Devonte. So far, I just don’t see Vick stepping up with scoring consistency. The key word in all of this is “consistency.” I’m not even sure we can get scoring consistency out of Devonte! I’ve been on him for his previous 3 years for taking games off. I think Doke will become a bigger threat throughout the year, as he acquires more tools and also creates more of a connection with the rest of the team harmony.

Hmm… You lost me bro. I didn’t even notice this post until today.

Doesn’t mean anything per se but Jalen seems waaaaaaaaay more excited about his KU offer than Baker.
