Ku's Cliff ...
- Thread starter surly
- Start date
It has a lot to do with Kansas if Cliff signed or verbalized a contract with an agent back in August. If he was involved, then it wouldn't take much of a leap to think that Kansas would have to vacate wins that he participated in. The question at hand is what collateral or assurances were placed on that loan? I can't imagine that gets approved without third party (agent) involvement.
I cannot imagine how millions of knuckleheads that can't pay their bills from month to month get mortgages or car loans but shady lenders always seem to find a way to approve them if they are willing to agree to a high enough interest rate. And entering into an agreement with an agent isn't anything that would be useful as collateral on a loan. Sorry, but I just haven't seem anything that makes me think this is more than the parents being too eager to cash in on their son and a company more than eager to get in on taking a chunk of his future income.
Here is a link detailing Kansas basketball scandals over the past 15 years... Warning-it is VERY long, originally posted on Missouri's Tigerboard and is full of over-the-top innuendo, but is mostly accurate as near as I can tell.

Yeah, I am sure we can trust ku basketball and academics. Shall we talk about "Ain't no seats."?
Well I'll derail this thread, Welcome back Tuco. Did you enjoy the B12 tourney? Did you get to go down and bask in the glow of thousands of cheering Cyclone fans? Hopefully that melted your cold Kansas heart and you are realizing the awesomeness that Cyclone Basketball is becoming.
Well done to the KU team. However, my remark was directed to your comment and the attitude it reflected.
I doubt the Shox hang with Ku, even without the mighty Cliff. In fact, I doubt WSU gets by Indiana.

Meh, if KU loses to Wichita State I'll be bummed but not crushed. Only 2011 and 1997 were crushing exits in my book. There is always next year and KU will always have a shot if things pan out well. They played well enough to beat a ton of good teams but poor enough to look totally unreliable. Young teams are inconsistent and KU is no exception. I hope they make it out of Omaha and gain some valuable experience for next season. Should be fun however and whenever it ends.

Really? Indiana has no business being in this tournament. WSU has an offensive efficiency ranking of 21st against a lighter schedule, but Indiana is 219th in defensive efficiency, and the B1G wasn't exactly an offensive juggernaut this year. Dey bad!
Maybe Indiana's offensive efficiency of 9th in the nation will help them overcome their comparably poor defense. Who knows? For comparison, the only single digit seeds with a worse defensive efficiency than Iowa State are #3 seed Notre Dame, #8 seed NC State and #8 seed Oregon yet you still think ISU is going to have tourney success due to their rankings of 7th nationally in offensive efficiency, don't you?
Big 10 hoops were somewhat undervalued this year, based on my eye test. And Indiana has a great point guard, Yogi.
WSU will be wetting themselves in anticipation of playing the mighty squawk. Plus, I believe the Shox are probably placed about right at 7, in spite of all the Ku hang-wringing fans who want this WSU picture framed differently than it actually is this year; the Wheat Shockers not what they were at the last dance, folks.
I just see a somewhat obvious potential upset here in the first round. That said, the Shockers will have a huge fan base in Omaha helping their cause.

Pulling for you guys against the Shockers if you win the first one. More money for the B12.
WSU will not have a huge fan base here in Omaha. All of the tickets were sold out long before WSU ever thought they'd be playing here. All the tickets were purchased by Kansas, Wisconsin and Iowa State fans. Unless WSU fans are going to grab severely overpriced tickets off the secondary market (cheapest Session 3 tickets on Stubhub running $200+) or buying tickets from scalpers on the corner they will not have much in the stands at all.
