Today's ESPN Game Day broadcast

FWIW: watching SportsCenter leading into College Game Day and Hannah Storm talks with Jay Bilas (speaking from AFH).

First thing she mentions is the “instantly infamous brawl at Kansas State this past Tuesday.”

Strike one on her.

Next she mentions the bad pub related to the NCAA notice of allegations, and how there may be further punishments after the season is over.

Strike two.

Next she mentions “the program has continued to garner negative headlines”, addressing (with video from Late Night) Snoop Dog’s performance and AD Jeff Long’s apology.

Strike three

She returns to the brawl and only talks Silvio, them shows video of Self saying “my kid makes an emotional decision, a bad, bad mistake, he’s still my kid, not gonna quit loving him. He’s ours, and I’m glad he is” and what other people think has nothing to do with my decisions. “The fact that somebody, after watching it one time and everything, can make a decision “this is exactly how it’s gonna be”, that doesn’t impact what I do at all.”

Asks Jay how does Kansas basketball get back on track?

Jay: “I'm not sure Kansas basketball is off track... address what happened, which I think Kansas has done, the Big 12 has done, Kansas State has done.., move forward... Even though there are perception issues which you documented, I think very well, I don’t link the fight with the NCAA issue. One didn’t cause the other, and I don’t think they are linked together.”

Home run.

And that was the only talking head acknowledgement that Kansas State was part of the problem.

Bilas then did a video selfie with the early morning AFH crowd.

Have lost all goodwill for Seth, IMO he’s moving toward Vitale Light... open mouth, insert foot, don’t know when to shut up.

Wheatstate Gal wrote: Good for HCBS disagreeing w Seth. I worked at Long Beach State when Seth was coach. Seth needs to stow his halo and angel wings....he ain’t pure.

Seth keeps talking about Dave hitting people. Like Self, I’ve looked at every view I could and did not see it.

IMO if KU and/or the Big 12 folks saw him punch someone, he would be at 8 as well. That he only got 2 tells me he didn’t.

Love Self standing up for the young men in his charge.

Seth does get credit for saying KState started it, and that Love, coming off the bench as he did and escalating it, should have received the same punishment as Silvio.

Jay was his usual, level headed self. Tons of respect in our household for Dukie Bilas.

LaPhonso Ellis was basically a non-entity.

Rece Davis had a good interview with Bill. Didn’t pull punches, but was fair.

And Self was great in answering Rece’s questions.
