When Les Miles lamented his Kansas football team’s inability to keep up with West Virginia in time of possession following a narrow home loss, there was a specific sub-gripe at the crux of his concern.

Gassnola, James Gatto and Merl Code, all convicted of federal fraud charges — are categorized as boosters of the university.
