On the street

Do you think the parties involved in the recent athletic confrontations should be disciplined by the university?

I think they should be disciplined by the teams … they’re not being responsible on the campus grounds.

Absolutely. Two years ago when the Mizzou basketball players got in trouble at the nightclub in Columbia, Mo., they were suspended from sports and the same consequences go across the border to KU.

Oh yeah, for sure. If you’re going to act like that … you’re not above the law.

Yes, I do because, like any of us here at KU, if we get in a fight, especially near campus or on campus, you should be punished for what you did.

    Whoa...wait these comments are a little naive. I understand the accountability issue here, but we really don't know all the facts. You can't single out TT and punish him or even the other players because someone will be overlooked. A punishment is not quite possible in the situation. Mangino has already alluded in the meeting with Perkins they will address it and then move on to other things. This is all you can do with a group or problem of this magnitude. So, if you discipline, who? Do we have all the names of the participants. We're not talking about a football player and a b-ball player. We are talking multiple people. Some of which may not even be on either squad. Let's be realistic and let this pass. Allow the administration and depts to do their jobs! Besides, TT's punishment is an injured thumb. I bet he never chances another injury for the rest of the season. I'm not saying nothing should be done, but let's be careful what is done when that decision is made or imposed.
