Dezmon Briscoe, a leading receiver on this year’s Kansas University football team, has submitted a diversion application to Douglas County District Court.
Briscoe was to have his first appearance today, but he is scheduled to appear at 1 p.m. Jan. 2 to hear whether his diversion application has been accepted.
Small problem: Jan. 2 is the date of the Fiesta Bowl, which is increasingly being considered the bowl game in which KU will most likely play.
The diversion application is in response to charges of theft by deception, less than $1,000, stemming from a June incident at Wal-Mart.
