I’ve been pondering this and think it gives a major benefit to schools in big markets who can well afford to pay athletes for advertising their products, for signings, for camps , for appearing in TV ads or endorsements. The list is long.

Is there any reason “Big Money” wouldn’t change the dynamics of recruiting? Would schools in smaller towns be outbid by schools in bigger towns simply due more $$$ resources? Will this turn into a bidding war for 4 and 5 talent? If the better players get more money in LA, Houston, New York, etc, I’d think they may want to go there (coaching ability be dam#ed).

The full text of the California bill can be found at https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB206 ↗

Section “c” also allows athletes to hire professional representation. Every agreement has to be disclosed to the school.

@bskeet - I don’t think KU can join the PAC12. California law says their sports teams can’t play in states that don’t meet California anti-LGBT laws. KU would have to find a different conference.

Snoop Dogg to perform live... per KU Athletics Twitter feed.

Trouble? • Sep 26, 2019 05:15 PM

I see where Georgia Tech was banned from the 2019/2020 post season for "impermissable benefits". A booster (former friend of Josh Pastner) provided money to recruits at a Gentleman's Club. Now, THAT'S a booster!

Well said! Take care of yourself and family.... and get better!

Mcride gone • Sep 21, 2019 05:52 AM

So who does this leave at backup PG?

ESPN+ question • Sep 14, 2019 06:10 AM

@kjayhawks - keep it up! KU could win out! 🙏🏻

ESPN+ question • Sep 13, 2019 03:36 PM

The Roku channel carries the ACC digital network. Dunno if it will carry the game as I don’t find a schedule for the channel. ???

UPDATE: This channel is apparently only highlights and reruns.

Lotsa smiles. New S&C coach looks small. Also hoping Doke doesn’t injure his head on the ceiling! 🙏🏻

New Hudy! • Sep 05, 2019 03:39 AM

So KU must be a better job than the NBA Kings? I like the sound of that!

Is it over? • Sep 05, 2019 03:36 AM

We need to remember what Yogi Berra said.....

Coastal Carolina Chanticleers • Sep 03, 2019 12:13 AM

Looking at CC's stats from last Saturday, I'm wondering if the "pass first" hung on them is because the couldn't run at all. Do you think they're primarily a passing team or were forced into it last week?

It does my heart no good to see KSU score on their first 4 possessions vs Nicholls State.....

ISU game chat • Aug 31, 2019 07:36 PM

Les Miles now has the highest winning percentage in KU history! 🔥

ISU game chat • Aug 31, 2019 05:39 PM

Les Miles said he’s sticking with Stanley in the 2nd half. Radio interview as he walked off. 🤔

ISU game chat • Aug 31, 2019 05:09 PM

Don’t have TV today. What does attendance look like?

your hated Yankees • Aug 25, 2019 09:40 PM

So my Dodgers got some pitching last night and this 3 game series is even going into tonight. Kershaw for the Dodgers but he usually doesn’t perform well in big games. Talk to ya later @jayballer73 !

Hudy going to Texas • Aug 16, 2019 06:13 PM

This an area where most of us have no idea who the best replacements may be. Any thoughts on an individual or timetable?

Did NOT see this coming. I’m bummed.

New 2019 Recruiting • Aug 13, 2019 05:25 PM

@FarmerJayhawk - and they play n a weak conference. They’ll probably win the Pac12.

More Kids Need Trade School.... • Aug 07, 2019 05:01 PM

@mayjay - interesting comment. I grew up supporting the old Kansas City A’s and have retained my fan-ship. Fortunately, I lived in Oakland for quite a while when one could buy outstanding seats on the cheap just by walking up before game time. I continue to follow/cheer for KC area teams, but my baseball fandom has shifted to the Dodgers because I live in the area. They’re consistently good and the stadium is usually full. However, they are only on subscription TV, so I follow online and via radio. Y’all have it really good to get Royals and Chiefs games locally!

Naming names • Aug 07, 2019 04:52 AM

I understand Utah self-reported the violations. Stand up guys...

Upgrade to board soon • Aug 04, 2019 05:18 PM

@approxinfinity - thanks for all you do! Best. KU. Board. Ever.

@wrwlumpy - great memories! Thanks!

@Crimsonorblue22 - who’s the other big man to sub for Landen?

Not a good day for JayBaller • Jul 23, 2019 01:18 AM

Sorry to hear it, sir. Do what the doc says!

Signing in.... • Jul 17, 2019 07:37 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 - probably. At least the sign on info is stored by my phone and tablet. Just kinda annoying.

Signing in.... • Jul 17, 2019 07:33 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 - no. I reboot every few days, but this seems like a separate issue.

@Texas-Hawk-10 - nothing like having a “good sh*t” at another FF! 🤣

However, the difference this year is that KU has decent backup’s in SDS and Mac. Given enough game experience, they might hold down the back court. Also, quite a few 6’8”+ guys to help out.

Signing in.... • Jul 17, 2019 07:22 PM

Over the last few days, I’m being asked to sign in again after I leave the sight for a few hours. I have an iPhone 7+, and iPads. Anyone else experiencing this?

Until then, I could stay signed in for extended periods.

It’s probably me, but thought I’d check.

Thanks for all you do! Great site!

SUPER IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS • Jun 19, 2019 02:00 AM

Damn! Does Tyshawn have any eligibility left? He looked GOOD @ point...

Mitch • Jun 17, 2019 09:53 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 - from the KU Athletics web site:

"ACADEMICS - Plans to study in the School of Engineering at the University of Kansas."

I thought he had switched to Business....

Happy Father's Day! • Jun 16, 2019 09:27 PM

Thanks! Phantom of the Opera this afternoon.Dinner with sons tonight. Nice day!

Hope all Dad’s have a great day today!

Mitch • Jun 16, 2019 06:16 PM
  • Even if Mitch red-shirts, he could be “recruited over”. Then what?
  • Maybe he wants a MA, MBA, whatever. Maybe not. He mostly wants to play.

It will be interesting....

Mitch • Jun 16, 2019 03:29 AM

Me no likeeee..

Now that’s a reply for the ages! Well done, @FarmerJayhawk !

Wilson to Kansas • Jun 13, 2019 04:23 AM

HCBS looking trim....

The damn NCAA doesn’t need proof, as such. They don’t share evidence with the public. They simply say”Tag! You’re it!” And any team is screwed. No recourse.

Roster possibilities • Jun 13, 2019 03:29 AM

Not a lot of minutes left to spread around. What do you offer a top player?

KU vs. dook • Jun 12, 2019 08:02 PM

What was it someone said? Wanting to see SDS/Doke swipe that bandana off Hurt’s head!

New 2019 Recruiting • Jun 12, 2019 06:46 PM

Seems like more and more freshmen have someone from their posse in their ear about guaranteed playing time, guaranteed starter, OAD, NBA ready and such. Kids turning down offers because they might have to sit and grow their skills or ... (gasp)... redshirt!

EJ Led TBT Squad • Jun 11, 2019 08:48 PM

Wow! 3rd seed?

Isaiah Moss, a target again! • Jun 11, 2019 03:38 AM

@KUSTEVE - Wow. I’m ready for a 60 game season, starting NOW!

New 2019 Recruiting • Jun 11, 2019 03:36 AM

Isaiah Moss To Kansas • Jun 10, 2019 07:40 PM

Apropos of nothing:
Apparently Mr Moss has 1-2 classes to complete. I wonder if all the hours transfer to KU or if he goes back to Iowa? Can’t really be a graduate transfer if you get your degree from the school to which you graduate transfer...
