Let's get into a new episode of KOGpod, sponsored by Title Boxing Club at 21st and Rock Rd in the Shops @ Tallgrass!
On this monumental 20th episode of the show, Tommy Castor and Weston Mills dive into the following:
(03:50) We start off the show by diving into the latest updates with the University of Kansas...former FB coach David Beaty and the university have settled their legal dispute. The guys debate the grade that Athletic Director Jeff Long deserves for his handling of the situation. Also, did the NCAA set a bad precedent with its punishment for the Oklahoma State Cowboys Level I violation and does that bode poorly for the Jayhawks with their investigation? Finally on this topic, KU has requested that its football and basketball violations be separated into different cases before the NCAA Committee on Infractions and the independent board.
(38:52) Stadium's Jeff Goodman and Brett McMurphy has ranked the Big 12's ten athletic directors based on their collective football and basketball hires. Joe Castiglione at OU is #1, but a surprising name at #2, KSU's Gene Taylor. KU's Jeff Long comes in 4th. The guys debate the ranking.
(45:39) The MLB Draft is underway at the time of this recording, and the Miami Marlins have selected pitcher Max Meyer from the University of Minnesota. Could we be seeing him as a member of the Wichita Wind Surge? Also, the Kansas City Royals with the 4th pick selected Asa Lacy, a lefty pitcher from Texas A&M. Some had him projected as the #1 overall pick, but he fell to #4 with the Royals.
(50:57) Our #WichitaWhiparound focuses on two topics. 1) TBT (The Basketball Tournament) picked its one quarantined site for the tournament this summer and it isn't Wichita, but it is Columbus, OH. Also, Wichita State's alumni team, the Aftershocks, won't be playing this year. 2) Kansas State University announced it would like to schedule future basketball games at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, as soon as the 2021 season.
(56:41) Our #FinallyFunny is simply...Conor McGregor. Retired. Again. 3rd time in 4 years. Hilarious.
