Jayhawks shut out Cyclones, Tigers in weekend games
recap.
BY JEFF DETERS
The Kansas soccer team won its final regular season road games this weekend by defeating the Iowa State Cyclones 2-0 on Friday and the Missouri Tigers 4-0 on Sunday.
The victories improved the Jayhawks' record to 9-6 overall and 4-3 in the Big 12 Conference.
Against Iowa State, freshman forward Shannon McCabe and sophomore midfielder Jessica Bush each scored one goal. Coach Mark Francis was pleased with the team's offense, which had struggled in recent weeks.
"It's good for us to get a win and score more than one goal, which we haven't done in a while," he said.
Prior to Friday's game, the Jayhawks hadn't scored more than one goal in their six previous games.
Following the victory against Iowa State, Francis said his team needed to be ready for the Border Showdown.
"We need to show up Sunday and perform well against a good Missouri team," he said.
And Francis' team certainly did that, tying its season high with four goals against Missouri. Bush and freshman forward Monica Dolinsky led the Jayhawks with two goals each. Dolinsky also added an assist in the
game.
The Tigers had 18 shot attempts in the game, compared to only 10 from the Jayhawks, but Kansas goalkeepers sophomore Julie Hanley and junior Colleen Quinn had three saves each to stop the Tigers' attack.
Francis was pleased his team was able to finish the road schedule on a good note. and was hopeful that would carry into the final weeks of
the season.
The Jayhawks will return home Friday for a game against the Baylor Bears at 3 p.m. at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

NCAA implements penalties against three sports

Men's basketball suffers after relationships with boosters
Darnell Jackson said he didn't know he was breaking any rules.
But the relationship that Jackson and former Jayhawk J.R. Giddens formed with booster Don Davis, along with graduation gifts from boosters given to graduating seniors from 2000 to 2004, led the NCAA to take away one scholarship from the men's basketball team for both the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 seasons. Kansas must also forfeit eight paid, official, on-campus recruiting visits throughout the next two seasons.
The infractions committee decided to penalize the men's program as a result of Jackson accepting impermissible items, which included almost $4,500 in gifts, from Davis
and then competing for Kansas "while ineligible to do so, thereby conferring a substantial competitive advantage," according to the infraction committee's report.
While Jackson was still in high school, Davis befriended Jackson after finding out about his father's death years earlier. The relationship between the two continued past Jackson's enrollment at the University. Davis provided Jackson and his family transportation, meals and a loan for a car. On one occasion, Davis drove Jackson and his AAU coach to NCAA tournament games, where the University provided complimentary tickets as the two were listed as a guest of a player.
Jackson said he didn't realize he was breaking any rules at the time. He was suspended for the first nine
games of last season as punishment for his actions.
"It felt like they were telling me who I can be friends with and who I can't be friends with and who can be my role model in my life," the junior forward said. "It hurt a lot. It felt like when a parent has a baby and they take that baby away and you can never see him again."
Kansas' other infraction came from "graduation gifts" given to graduating seniors, a practice that had been going on since 1988. The gifts were cash ranging from $25 to $400 from multiple boosters.

The NCAA Committee on Infractions found the most to dislike in the football program at Kansas, taking away three scholarships for both the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 seasons because of violations that occurred in the summer of 2003
— a summer football coach Mark Mangino would like to forget.
The committee found that while two prospective student athletes were taking a test they needed to pass in order to qualify academically in August 2003, a graduate assistant coach was looking up answers for them in a textbook. The NCAA also found that graduate assistants arranged for improper proctors for prospective student athletes who were taking exams to qualify for admission.
The problem for the football program, in the eyes of the committee, that it was relying too much on last-minute admission for numerous potential students.
"It's just too much to expect; too many miracles there," said Gene Marsh, chairman of the NCAA Committee on Infractions.
The problems for Mangino and the football program stemmed from the recruitment of numerous junior-college players who arrived on campus during the summer of 2003. Entering the summer, Mangino said he believed those players were on track to graduate and would be eligible for the fall semester. Slowly but surely, however, Mangino's recruiting class that summer began to unravel.
"It just kind of snowballed, and we had kids here stuck on campus," Mangino said.
He said some athletes were so far behind in credits that they were asked to return home, while others continued to take correspondence courses, trying to become eligible.
However, both the committee and KU officials said there was no reason to believe Mangino had any knowledge of the improper behavior.
The NCAA accepted a self-imposed punishment of accepting only three junior college players in both 2006 and 2007, along with the committee's additional sanctions

The self-imposed penalties against the women's program were the loss of two scholarships during the 2005-06 academic year, and Kansas was allowed to have only two coaches recruit off campus instead of three.
Unlike the football and men's basketball programs, the NCAA found the women's basketball program at Kansas had suffered enough as a result of the University's self-imposed sanctions.

Rick Evrard, the University's counsel on matters relating to NCAA rules violations, said the former coaches would not initially answer questions during the investigation, which led to the Athletics Department's decision to place the program on probation.
mittee deemed "disproportionate" to the infractions committed, came as a result of secondary violations by the previous coaching staff, led by longtime-coach Marian Washington. The most serious violation included transportation given to a prospective women's basketball player to an on-campus testing site by former assistant coach Tim Eatman in the fall of 2002.
"We said, 'we're going to take the high road here and we're going to conclude that violations occurred,'" Evrard said.
Because of the "disproportionate" penalties tag. given to the women's program and the additional sanctions placed on the men's program, Hemenway became worried of the public's perception of the University.
"It handcuffed us a little bit, but it didn't kill us," she said.

Despite not being involved in any of the infractions, current women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson had to deal with the penalties last season.
"Yesterday when the chancellor had the opportunity to read this report, probably his most violent reaction was 'someone's going to perceive that we've treated men's basketball differently than women's basketball.'" Evrard said, "because the language in the report says there was wholly disproportionate penalty to women's basketball as there was to men's basketball."
