National media split on KU’s culpability in the wake of Adidas basketball trial

On Wednesday, the defendants in the Adidas college basketball trial were found guilty by a federal jury in New York.

They are Adidas executive James Gatto, former Adidas consultant Merl Code and former sports agent Christian Dawkins, and they were accused of conspiring to pay the families of players to attend schools sponsored by Adidas.

That included Kansas, which has been in the national spotlight since the trial started. While Jayhawks coach Bill Self defended his program, others have said KU doesn’t look good in the wake of the trial.

This is a sample of what people were saying and writing about any potential disciplinary action that should be taken against KU or Self.
