KU b-ball
 

I'm getting e-mails about a KU player wrecking an SUV that was titled to Scott Pollard. Is there any truth to this?

Markieff Morris wrecks Pollard's vehicle
LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas University men’s basketball player Markieff Morris was involved in a two-car accident last month. According to a Lawrence police report, the car Morris was driving belonged to former KU player Scot Pollard.

At 1:14 a.m., on Sunday, Sept. 13, a city police officer was dispatched to Tennessee and 17th streets in Lawrence – the scene of a two-car, non-injury accident.

According to the report, a 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe, operated by current Jayhawks player Markieff Morris, 20, was traveling south on the right side of the two-lane street. Morris said he was preparing to make a left turn onto 17th, but as he did, he struck the rear passenger door of a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am that was just ahead and to the left of Morris.

Though the report listed damage at or equal to $1000 to the Grand Am, Morris, three passengers in the Tahoe (a 20-year old male and two females ages 16 and 22) and two females in the Grand Am denied medical attention.

The responding officer indicated that there were no visible signs of impairment.

It is unclear whether Morris’ driving a car reportedly owned by a former Kansas player violates NCAA rules regarding improper benefits.

As of early Wednesday afternoon, a call to KU Associate Athletics Director for External Relations Jim Marchiony had not been returned; nor had an email to University of Kansas Compliance staff.

On Oct. 11, the men’s program, along with the football and women’s basketball team, is scheduled to conclude a three-year probation – the result of the NCAA’s finding and ruling in April 2006 that the teams previously were operating under a “lack of appropriate institutional control.”

Recently, negative headlines, including a series of on-campus fights between the men’s basketball and football teams, as well as guard Brady Morningstar’s arrest last weekend for suspicion of DWI, have surrounded the program. Morningstar has been suspended until the second semester by head coach Bill Self – a punishment handed down hours after the arrest news was made public.

Markieff Morris was one of several basketball players named as having been involved in the football/basketball altercations. Last December, Morris accepted a diversion agreement in Douglas County after pleading not guilty to shooting a woman with a BB gun from his apartment window in August.

Kansas has been tabbed No. 1 in several preseason polls and will open its season at home on Nov. 3 against Fort Hays State.

I really doubt Scot Pollard was in Lawrence when this happend. A former player giving a car for a current player?? Hmmm. I dunno.

Wow..some more great news.

Damn ChiTown, When a KU players gets in trouble, you pop out in full force....


Work it big boy!

jesus ****ing christ :shake:

Pollard lives in Lawrence now.

At least it wasn't a DUI.

That's BS

Go back and see if I made one comment about the KU purse fight btw the fb and bb players.

I heard about this around lunch and wasn't going to post any info until I saw the current post. It's just info, and no opinion.

I am just messing with you. Some friendly banter....

business as ususal for KU

Heck yeah! Rock Chalk Championships!!!!!!!!!

lol at his twitter.

yayalldayhawker: Yo every1 knows how I smashed polly's truck, coach gunna come down hard on me. Cuz holla at me

Translate into English?

I dunno he goes to KU LMAO

ROFL

No matter how good they are at basketball, they are still a bunch of immature, dumbass, horny college kids.

i don't understand why these kids can't get a cab it is cheap near the college

The wild part to me, is that this is now just coming to light......................IT happened Sept. 13th!

You fuggers in Larryville do a damn fine job getting these deals swept in the rug. I tip my hat to ya.

Why does Pollard have a 1997 Tahoe?

The requested translation:

From the twitter account of Markieff Morris: Hello ladies and gentlemen. You are probably aware that I have had an accident while driving the motor vehicle of my good friend Scott Pollard. My sports coach is probably going to be quite upset with me to the point that disciplinary measures may be taken.
ps, To my unnamed friend who knows whom he is: Please contact me at your earliest possible convenience.

What a joke.

Oh good, then it's already blown over. Excellent.

Seriously, this is going to turn out to be a non-issue.

Sounds bad, but it's nothing.

driving a borrowed 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe can in no way be condidered a "benefit".LMAO

Okay, so this was all much ado about nothing:

Marchiony was just on the line with KK and said that the car was actually sold to Tyshawn Taylor and the purchase was run through the compliance office. It's a non-issue.

Poor, poor Kevin Kietzman... LMAO

let's see if reerun can set a new record for most replies to a thread by a single person in under an hour.

KU has a compliance office?

so somehow we're to believe that Morris told the police that Pollard owned the vehicle and provided insurance in his name by mistake?

Sarcasm duly noted. ;)

It's bizarre to say the least. The Insurance papers are what they go by - They were still in Pollard's name. Read the Police Report.

It could be a registration issue. With a proper bill of sale or title (signed over, of course), a vehicle is legally owned even without renewed registration in the new owner's name and a fine would be applied at the most.

I'm willing to believe Marchiony over KK any day, BTW. And that's not because I'm biased. :evil:

Exactly what I was thinking - sounds more like punishment for missing curfew. LMAO

Have they found his weed yet?

it's not KK making this up, it's the official police report.

Nice that Marchioney conveniently had bad cell coverage and had to go when KK starting asking questions though.

And what about the 16yo female out at 1:17AM on a school night? And I'm guessing 1:17AM is a curfew violation for Morris?

Assuming that KU can prove the car was sold and not given and that he wasn't drinking - I call this a non issue.


PS....what's up with the 16 year old girl?

I hate KK and he has been a proven liar for years, but why would anyone with an IQ over 1 believe Marchiony? That dude is a corporate scumbag from the word go.

aside from that and the probable curfew violation. I still don't see how LPD obtained a registration and insurance in Pollard's name if he wasn't the owner...

Insurance papers in the car. That has the VIN number on it.

I doubt Jim Marchiony would blatantly lie on public radio about something that could so easily backfire on him. KK, on the other hand, is always out to bring down KU because success breeds resentment and KK really enjoys any opportunity to fling shit on KU.

Remember, registration =/= ownership, especially if it was a recent transaction.

Yes, he is a corporate scumbag. No, I will never believe KK over anyone. The odds would be against me if I did that.

It wasn't a school night it was a Saturday night Sunday morning that the incident took place, sounds like a ? for her parents, 16 is legal in the state of KS so non issue. As to curfew violation for Morris....doubt it. These guys are out until close nearly every weekend.

this would mean Morris knowingly (theoretically) provided a false registration and insurance.

whatever. The police deserved it for even asking a KU player for their information.

Of course he did.. Remember he goes to KU, so it is probably required by the compliance office to do so...

We cheat at EVERYTHING!

ROFLROFL

Police brutaility...

Ok, tell me that this isn't how it goes:

Cop: "Sir please give me your license, registration and insurance"

Morris: "Sure, here you go"


Now, you don't think that Morris so much as glanced at what he dug out of the glovebox and handed over?

:LOL:

Not!
More like this...


Cop: "Sir please give me your license, registration and insurance"

Morris: "Sure, Flatfoot, here is the copy the compliance office gave us... They said you would know what to do with it..."

I could see Pollards old registration info still being in there. I bought a car last month from an individual and all his old papers were still in there.

This is all much ado about nothing. I do love how rival fans whack off to this type of material though.

KK and Jack Harry are getting eviscerated on 610. :)


And, apparently, Scot Pollard has sold multiple cars in Lawrence. Just FYI.

I'm not whacking off over it, I just see holes in the story.

For what it's worth, I was pulled over driving a friends SUV in western kansas by KHP. They inquired as to my relationship with the owner of the vehicle.

Pollard just said on another station that he recently sold a few of his vehicles in Lawrence and that Taylor was one of the people who bought one.

Pollard putting the clown suit on the Cheerleader right now...

Pollards on 810 right now grilling KK over making this a big deal.

KK and the grapes will continue to spin it somehow...

KK loving the ratings right now. This is almost as good as George Brett calling in.

No doubt. But this is fricken funny listening to this shit. ROFL

KK just clowned Pollard. The fact is LPD wrote the report, not the "cheerleader". BTW, most KSU fans loathe KK just as much as anyone else.


I feel dirty for even tuning in now...

I cant listen to KK, he drops his listeners 100 IQ points everytime he opens his man pleaser...

I cant afford to lose any points!!!!!

KK is making a fool of himself right now.

it's like watching Fox News....

He is the spoke person for KSU athletics... You guys need him just as he needs listeners...

:banghead:

I only watch Fox News...

Shit someone bring me a helmet and a drool bucket.... I am dropping off fast.

no, he's not. KU fans may want him to be....

better stop before you go full reerun

KK is still trying to rip Pollard now that he is off the air.

Apparently KK didn't call Pollard because he didn't want Pollard to embarrass himself??

so......if Pollard sold Taylor the car in July, why doesn't LPD have current owner info from the tags?

he is off onto his hystrics now....he's like Fatlock...he takes a kernel of truth, then spins out of control for ratings.

omg ... why not just watch Jerry Springer, they're both staged the same.

I took this just for you...
