Remember that little tussle between the Kansas Jayhawks football and basketball teams? You know, the one where KU guard Tyshawn Taylor wound up in the hospital before taking the fight to Twitter. That was fun.
Well, it hasn't been a great couple of months for Taylor. In Mid-September, a car allegedly belonging to Taylor was invovlved in a fendor bender while being driven by teammate Markieffe Morris. Morris reported the car as Taylor's but the police found it actually belonged to former Jayhawk (and Celtic) STUD Scot Pollard. Soooo what gives here?
Pollard claims he sold the car to Taylor but the sale hadn't been finalized due to an inability to find a fair price. Confident a deal would work itself out, Pollard allowed Taylor to continue driving the vehicle. Both Pollard and the KU Athletic Department claim the sale was approved but the situation remains sketchy.
This would not be the first case of an allumni providing prospects or current players with cash, money or other gifts and this isn't to say that is what's even going on here. It's just another negative story involving the KU hoops team (and Taylor) before the season even starts. Don't forget, this is your preseason number 1 team in the country. Bill Self needs to get control fast. The fight, the DUI's, the lack of discipline...sets the stage for a very disappointing 2009/2010 campaign.
