@approxinfinity I don’t think the legislation would have much of an impact on the NCAAs claim against Self and KU. The legislation is aimed at allowing the players to profit from their name and likeness. To my knowledge, that’s not the issue at the center of the NOA.

Others may know more — correct me if I misunderstand the the NOA or the legislation’s intent.

Also, I’ve read that the one-and-done rule is under review and at least some folks think it’s days are numbered. Not sure if the California legislation is the impetus for that or not.

Reading the tea leaves a bit here. NCAA is going to have to acknowledge they are out of step with the times and have not sufficiently adapted or evolved, or they are going to get left in the dust.

I’m from Indiana and I’m currently doing an informative essay on Indianas history with basketball. A lot of interesting insight but after reading everyone’s response, I think that you may argue that James was being a suck-up, but none of you have seem to find any information where James complimented another state or school (like Kansas). Now, I’ve stayed in Kansas City for a few months, and my take away from there was that no one really cared about basketball. So if you feel like you have a stake in the origins of Basketball, you don’t. I don’t think I’ve ever heard in my life that Kansas was anything significant in early process of developing basketball. I had never heard of Phog Allen until I read this post, and if we’re being real here, who is he compared to John Wooden? Like come on. Don’t lie to me. If you ever feel like watching a movie, dont forget to watch “Hoosiers”. Reply once you find a movie about Kansas. (Glory Road features Kansas as the championship opponent, but is inaccurate. The oilers played against a team from utah). Have fun dealing with the fact that nobody considers Kansas as a significant piece of basketball history.

You don’t do any favors to Indiana or its fans by posting something like this.

Fortunately, this community, which understands Kansas legacy in basketball, also appreciates Indiana’s legacy in basketball.

I also suspect that the larger community who appreciate and understand Indiana basketball will have an appropriate understanding and appreciation for Kansas basketball.

Keep researching and good luck on your high school essay.

that was interference. the talking heads are wrong.

@kjayhawks Yep, that might also play into the call…

@Texas-Hawk-10 I agree.

If that was our QB and someone did that, we’d probably want some protection too.

I don’t fault Lee though. It was a football play.

Probably had something to do with the fact that the runner was the QB

@Texas-Hawk-10 True, but that hit was not out of bounds.

Argh.

Not a Yankee fan. The epic Yankees v Royals showdowns in the mid-seventies made an indelible impression. That said, I agree Yankees vs Dodgers has some historic lure.
