As the University of Kansas Jayhawks prepared for one of their toughest men’s basketball games this season — versus Baylor on Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse — fans were coping with reports of questionable off- court behavior by some players. The Star reported Monday that a KU investigation found that one player likely hit a female student multiple times in late 2. Another was charged with a misdemeanor after police recently found drug paraphernalia in Mc. Carthy Hall. That player, Carlton Bragg, has entered into a diversion agreement. Mc. Carthy Hall is the residence hall for the team and other male students. KU police are investigating a reported rape of a 1. In a police report, several players are listed as witnesses to the alleged rape. While some fans worry that recent news reports will serve as a distraction on the court, others said the reports don’t diminish their love for KU’s basketball players. They just want to see their Jayhawks win. Elden Mitchell, president at Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, said he was hoping for a victory over Baylor, tied with KU atop the Big 1. Mitchell, who graduated in December and lives in Lawrence, said he and his peers at KU support the players and look up to them no matter what allegations surface with players’ names attached to them.“They are such phenomenal players,” Mitchell said, “people are expecting so much from them, they forget that at the end of the day they are just teenagers, 1. We make mistakes.”All that aside, Mitchell said, “we (students) see them as all- star players, and we have respect for them. Personally, I don’t think any of this is going to influence whether the team plays well.”But even though fans said they were excited for the game, some said they were concerned about what had come to light in the last week. Lance Hultgren, a sophomore at KU from Osage City, called the reports about Bragg “sad” and pointed to the basketball player as being part of the face of KU.“We’re known for basketball,” he said. I’m a proud parent of two KU alums,” but Anguiano said that “no game is bigger than any investigation.” He added, “I think we also have to remember everyone is innocent until proven guilty.”As a fan, Anguiano said, “I’m very cautious. I don’t prejudge. But if these things do prove to be true then I want to know what are the corrective measures.”Anguiano said he would like to see the National Collegiate Athletic Association begin to “look more at the criminal aspects of the game.” Maybe impose some sanctions when players commit a crime. NCAA rules do set academic requirements, but association officials have balked at the idea of preventing an athlete from playing because of his or her criminal background. In the meantime, Anguiano said, “I’m definitely not done with KU.”But some social media comments have been harsh. One tweet on Man Cave Sports, a social media platform for sports fans, shows a structure blowing up and actor Leslie Neilsen of the spoof “The Naked Gun” fame waving his arms saying “Nothing to see here, please disperse.” Below it FANMAN. However, they are young people thrust in the national spotlight, treated like gods on campus and responsible for an entire university’s reputation and success.”De. Smet, who said she wants “Coach Self to ensure our athletes are treated equally and fairly — no special treatment,” also said she is “heartbroken” to hear that a player may have hurt another student: “The safety of women on campus is a huge concern.”Like others she has some concern that accusations questioning the character and integrity of a team members may be a bit of a distraction. But in the end, she said, “I hope for a win, of course. I think being home at Allen Fieldhouse is helpful.”.
