The Adidas trial is winding down and closing arguments came on Thursday with one attorney arguing that Kansas’s Bill Self knew about the $20,000 payment to Silvio DeSousa.
And back in Lawrence, Self may or may not have the full confidence of Chancellor Douglas Girod.
The jury will start deliberating Monday and no one really knows what to expect. It’s been a weird trial because when you get down to it, no one was truly defrauded. Payers got paid, coaches got players and universities got money. None of this was okay by the NCAA but those are rules that govern an association, not laws that govern a nation.
