Let's say he's guilty and there are issues with his transcript. In no way is KU liable. If, for some reason, they were liable, it would call into question the entire NCAA.

Look, if the Clearinghouse clears them, there is no way it should come back to the university who ended up going after them and getting them. The university wouldn't have done so if the Clearinghouse hadn't cleared them in the first place.

It's a stupid argument and it's one that doesn't really matter at least with respect to KU.
