LAWRENCE — Former Kansas basketball coach Roy Williams told investigators that he didn’t know it was an NCAA violation when he told a booster it was permissible to give his players monetary gifts after their eligibility had expired, a report released Friday indicated.
Furthermore, Williams said he cleared the action with KU officials.
“I honestly think that on both occasions, I ran it by people at KU and said, ‘All right now, after the kids graduate, is there anything they have to continue to be aware of?’ â€

Wow, Roy authorized $50 gifts to players graduating? That makes Ricky Clemons look like a saint!!!
Mizzou would never have these kind of players - mostly because they don't graduate any of their players.
