The reports regarding the ticket scandals surrounding the Kansas Athletic Department are troubling enough. Millions of dollars reportedly exchanged hands and it was all done under-the-radar.
↵That’s bad. But what could be worse is learning as the investigation goes on who else was involved.
↵There is zero evidence out there that any players were involved.
↵….but we’re not ready to rule that out quite yet.
↵Bill Self reportedly has a relationship David and Dana Pump who have sent several players to KU. Lew Perkins regularly attends the Pumps AAU summer camp.
↵The Pumps are reportedly the masterminds behind part of the ticket scandals.
↵Then there’s Roger Morningstar. Bill Self describes him as a friend. Morningstar is the father of current player Brady Morningstar. He allegedly made over $800,000 in the ticket scandal.
↵Again, there’s no evidence to suggest players were involved or there was point shaving or anything like that. But enough connections and relationships are there to cause some to wonder.
↵As the investigation goes on, we’ll likely learn the answer to these questions.
