Show Notes
The opening of basketball practice is celebrated at University of Kansas like nowhere else in the nation. The event includes skits, dancing, team introductions, a light scrimmage and often a celebrity guest.
This year, KU brought rapper Snoop Dogg to Allen Fieldhouse and Late Night got edgy with stripper poles and money guns shooting out fake $100 bills.
Coach Bill Self and Kansas officials said they were caught off guard by the show. But what are the ramifications for a program that has received a Notice of Allegations from the NCAA for multiple Level 1 violations in the basketball program?
Star columnist Sam Mellinger and KU beat writer Jesse Newell discuss with host Blair Kerkhoff.
