Coach Mark Mangino yells at sophomore wide receive Rainbow Pendleton during the Jayhawks game against Central Michigan on September 1. A video of the encounter has been circulation on YouTube.
The Kansas Athletics Department decided Saturday not to punish camera operator and television stations for the disagreement about the disclosure of unedited footage in Kansas coach Mark Mangino's now-famous YouTube clip.
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the KU Athletics Department had discussed several options, including pushing camera crews farther down the sideline or forcing them to tape from the roof of the press box.
Topeka's WIBW-TV website first published the unedited video, Marchiony said. He said that WIBW pulled the footage from its site at KU's request but had not contacted YouTube to request the clip be considered copyrighted material and be taken off.
WIBW-TV sports anchor Mark Ewing, who Marchiony said made

The 42- second clip was posted on YouTube.com the day after Kansas' September 1 season-opening victory against Central
"WIBW used terrible judgment and broke the trust that teams have with television stations that are covering games."

Michigan, Raimond Pendleton is shown scoring a touchdown on a 77-yard punt return. As he approached the end zone, Pendleton leaped in for the score. The showboating drew a 15-year unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. When Pendleton returned to the sideline, Mangino unleashed a 20-second, obscenity-laced scolding on the sophomore.
The clip had been viewed more than 210,000 times as of Sunday
to be allowed anywhere outside the players' box, which ends at the 25 yard lines. Marchiony said he and his staff monitored where camera people went on Saturday. He also said another incident of poor
judgment by a TV station could cause a change in the Athletics Department's policy.
"WIBW used terrible judgment and broke the trust that teams have with television stations that are covering games," Marchiony said.
Marchiony said that the Department had no issue with the video, but that it had never heard of a TV station airing unauthorized in-game audio of a college game.
He said there was an understanding between the University and television stations that audio from the team area of the sidelines was not to be used.
"Our stance is that whatever is said in the team area is not for public consumption; it is for the consumption of the team and the coaching staff," Marchiony said. "I want to make it clear that we are not condoning the language that was heard on the video. But I think some people saw how Mark handled the Pendleton situation, and applauded it."
After Aqib Talib's touchdown catch late in the second quarter, he appeared to jump at the goalpost as if to dunk the ball, which surely would have brought another unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. He stopped mid-flight.
Marchiony said Mangino and Pendleton embraced after the player's next kickoff return.

Jason Boots thought 60- to 80 hour work weeks would be over after he graduated from college. But since he left the University of Kansas in May, he's been working at least 60 hours a week at a new school.
Boots, former student body president at the University, decided to work with Teach For America for the next two years. Teach For America sends recent college graduates to low-income school districts to help those students catch up to the national academic level. Boots teaches the fifth grade at a Baltimore elementary and middle school.
"Part of me said it was a really great opportunity to be part of something bigger than myself,
bigger than a group of people, bigger than a company." Boots said. "I knew it was going to be a challenge. I was never really interested in doing something easy, but I have always been interested in a challenge."
Boots said both of his parents and his brother were teachers. He said he didn't realize how much work it was until he started doing it, but that the rewards were well worth it.
Boots said he taught summer school in

"They told me I was the best math teacher they ever had," Boots said.
Next year, students wanting to join Teach for America might not have to travel as far as Boots. The program will have a new region in the Kansas City, Mo. school district starting in the fall of 2008. Teach For America will place 50 corps members in the district.
The popularity of Teach For America at the University has grown over the last three years. In 2003-2004, seven students joined the program, and last year, the year that Boots applied, 20 students joined.
Jessica Forman joined Teach for America after she graduated from the University in 2005. Now she is the Recruitment Director
taught pre kindergarten her first year, then continued to teach those students the next year in kindergarten.
"The dif-
ference in
income was
right in
front of me,"
Forman said. "That transcended into my classroom coming in as 4-year-olds not being able to recognize their own name and not being able to distinguish between letters and numbers."
Forman said she really had to push to get the kids to a place where they could read. By the time they graduated kindergarten, 14 out of 15 students could read on a first grade level.
"Teach for America is a chance to create change in our country at the fundamental level." Forman said. "Not only do corps members affect the lives of students daily, but they go on to be part of a civic minded group of leaders who are at the forefront of shaping our nation."
Teach For America has 5,000 corps members teaching this year. Applications to teach for next year are due Sept. 21, Nov. 2, Jan. 4, and Feb. 15. More information can be found at teachforamerica.org.
