Jeremy Case, I thought you were supposed to come to KU to score points for KU, which you did not do. You are not going to score with my sister on the dance floor.
It's OK, Aaron Miles. You can play second base for the Colorado Rockies this summer but you are coming back to play point guard for us next year. Right? Right? Aaron?

St. Louis track needs upgrades to compete
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Though track officials say the St. Louis-area Gateway International Raceway in Illinois has a shot a hosting a Nextel Cup race, insiders consider that shot a long one.
Over the years, the 1.25-mile oval, infield road course and quarter-mile drag strip has lured Championship Auto Racing Teams, the Indy Racing League, the Craftsman Truck series, the Busch series and National Hot Rod Association drag racing.
Matt Strelo, vice president and general manager of Gateway in Madison, Ill., points to the track's assets. The numbers show St. Louis fans watch the races on television and about 50,000 showed up for last Saturday's Busch race, which seems to indicate Gateway would be able to sell its existing 70,000 or so seats for a Nextel Cup race.
But the track has its detractors. Hampered by limited parking, outdated infrastructure and the construction of newer facilities, Gateway has lost the top open-wheel series and has been left with the trucks, NHRA and Busch series as its top acts.
Kenny Wallace, a veteran NASCAR driver, said he would like nothing better than to see the track host a Nextel Cup race. But the St. Louis native said the track would need a drastic makeover to draw serious attention.
"My opinion is that first, the track is too big," said Wallace, whose brothers Rusty and Mike also race in NASCAR. "They should cut it in half. Make it like Richmond (International Raceway in Virginia). You need more room and use all of that (the area north of the track) as parking. You can't expect to shuttle people in for a Nextel Cup race. They landlocked themselves in."
NCAA delivers 'notice of allegations' to Missouri
But Strelo said the track could use the shuttle service used for Busch Stadium and the Edward Jones Dome, just across the river in downtown St. Louis.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — The NCAA has asked Missouri to respond to an allegation of a single major rules violation in its basketball program, according to The Kansas City Star.
Chad Moller, spokesman for University of Missouri athletics, confirmed that the school received a formal NCAA "notice of allegations," summarizing findings of an investigation that has been under way for months.
Missouri officials declined immediate comment but scheduled an 11 a.m. news conference Tuesday in Columbia to "provide an update on the status" of the investigation.
The Star, in a report posted yesterday evening on its Web site and citing unnamed sources.
unlimited sources,
reported the NCAA has asked Missouri to respond to an allegation that Tigers associate head coach Tony Harvey gave former player Ricky Clemons less than $300.
A source close to Harvey, speaking on a condition of anonymity to The Associated Press, confirmed *The Star*'s account.
aided Press, commissary to NCAA spokeswoman Kay Hawes told the AP that any allegations made by the organization would first be reported to the school's president. Through a spokesman, university President Elson Floyd declined comment.
The Star said the allegation against Harvey is one of at least four contained in the NCAA's report on its investigation.
So did Professor Mike Devaney, appointed by Floyd to conduct the school's internal investigation.
Harvey and coach Quin Snyder have said no Missouri coaches gave money to Clemons.
to Clemons.
In a television interview with HBO taped Feb. 21, Clemons replied "yes" when asked whether he had been paid by coaches at Missouri, renewing earlier allegations by both Clemons and his former girlfriend, Jessica Bunge. Clemons, who has moved to North Carolina, said he didn't know the total
amount he received.
Harvey told the AP on Monday that he remained in his post at Missouri and stood by earlier denials of providing cash to players.
cash to play Harvey referred all other questions to his Atlanta-based attorney, Stu Brown, who said he could not confirm or discuss specific allegations against Harvey.
While declining to discuss specific allegations against Harvey, Brown criticized the NCAA's investigators.
"The NCAA enforcement staff shows a willingness to make serious allegations without reliable support and in the face of strong exonerating information, and that is a practice that I believe harms anybody who is so casually
accused of wrongdoing and also diminishes the credibility of the entire investigation," Brown told the AP.
Missouri has not formally received the report, but has faxed and e-mailed copies.
Athletic Director Mike Alden told The Star he could not comment until the university has the official report.
the university has the university has the Star, again citing sources, said the NCAA did not allege a lack of institutional control. Such a violation could include punishment such as a ban on postseason play or television appearances. The sources said Missouri could face recruiting sanctions, including loss of scholarships or recruiting privileges.
