Naismith’s original rules of Basketball Ball return to KU

Some guy with a lot more money than me bought a couple pieces of paper for $3.8 million and gave them to the University of Kansas at halftime of tonight’s game. The paper once belonged to Dr. James Naismith and they contain the original rules of Basket Ball.

The rules will likely be displayed in that big glass case outside, where most programs keep national championship trophies. Kansas has plenty of room on that shelf for the rules.
