Fields also said he thought the rumors that were now surfacing were legitimate and had been occurring since he came to Kansas in 2004.
"It's been a long time that that stuff has been happening and it had to surface," Fields said. "Of all the talent that KU has there, it had to be some other reason that KU isn't producing out on the field. It's been long overdue."
Marcus Herford, another former receiver for Mangino, said Mangino's way of motivating a player was by "demotivating" him.
"I knew it was a matter of time before somebody reported it or said something, because it's been happening since I got there and I'm sure before then," Herford said. "I'm surprised actually that it took this long honestly."
Senior Todd Reesing said Perkins told the team in a meeting Monday that an "unbiased person" would conduct the investigation. Perkins discussed the matter with Mangino prior to speaking with the players.
In his weekly press conference Tuesday, Mangino declined to delve into the details of the matter but acknowledged he had a brief meeting with Perkins.
"I haven't lost the team one bit," Mangino said. "I may have lost some people around here, but it's not players. Take that for what it's worth. You decipher it."
Mangino was asked if he thought there would be any issues with the program if the team were 5-1 in conference games instead of 1-5. He firmly said, "No."
"The fact of life is that these type of things are going to come up when things aren't going good," Mangino said. "That's life, that's how it works."
On hand for the weekly press conference, current players Darrell Stuckey, Chris Harris, Tanner Hawkinson and Hulden Tharp declined to discuss the situation directly.
"I just don't want to talk about that because it would be irritating for me to ponder on something," Stuckey said. "It's difficult for our team to go through this week."
Jayson Jenks, Daniel Johnson, Stephen Montemayor, Michelle Sprehe and Brandon Sayers contributed reporting for this story.

STUDY ABROAD
Fund honors former student
BY ANNA ARCHIBALD aarchibald@kansan.com
Gus Rau Meyer Jr. always had a passion for travel. After his death Feb. 13 at age 27, his parents said it was an obvious choice to set up a scholarship for study abroad in his memory.
This semester, his parents, Gus Rau Meyer Sr. and Cheryl Meyer, have been working with the Kansas University Endowment Association to establish a $32,000
study abroad
scholarship
in their son's
name.
Gus Rau
Meyer Jr. graduated
from the University
in 2005 with
two bachelor's
degrees in business and economics. He was a fourth generation Jawhawk.

"We were overwhelmed by the response we had from contributors," Meyer Sr. said. He said that the money came from more than 220 contributors, including himself and his wife. "Gus really loved education and the learning process, and we decided KU was where we wanted to set up a scholarship."
Sue Lorenz, director of the Office of Study Abroad, said the donated money would become a continuing scholarship fund that would generate scholarships for many years to come.
Rosita Elizalde-McCoy, senior vice president of communications and marketing at the Endowment Association, said that because of the national economic crisis, there were students who weren't able to study abroad without this kind of scholarship.
"This enriches their educational experience as a whole when they can become ambassadors of the world," she said.
Meyer Sr. said when it came down to choosing where the scholarship money would go, they had to decide among three categories: Creative writing, because his son
had developed a love for writing; Native American culture, because he was proud of his Choctaw heritage; and study abroad.
His parents knew when it came down to it that their son would want to share his passion for travel by giving to study abroad.
"One of the things he learned from his study abroad was that you come back with an appreciation about a lot of different things." Meyer Sr. said. "You learn to appreciate the other culture as well as how we live here and what we call home."
By the time he graduated, Gus Rau Meyer Jr. had already been abroad three times.
"More than anything, Gus loved to be able to assist people who needed his help," his father said. "He would be glad to know this scholarship is going to help other people get the same kind of experience traveling that he had."
Once he got to the University, his father said he wanted to study abroad again, so he spent the second semester of his senior year in Australia.
In high school he spent a year in small village in Venezuela. He then went to Santiago, Chile, through the World Scout Jamboree for Boy Scouts, which he had been involved in for years.
When he died he was the sixth-
"He was a very passionate, opinionated and giving person," Meyer Sr. said. "He partly enjoyed traveling, but really enjoyed immersing himself in the culture and experiencing it at a different level. He would be glad that the word gets out for this and for people to find something they're passionate about and follow it. That's the way he was."
Before his death, he had named the Kansas City chapter of the American Red Cross as the beneficiary of his more than $50,000 life insurance policy, which has all gone to local causes.

generation worker at the family company, Rau Construction Company in Overland Park. He was a project manager.
"Reading and studying about other places is beneficial," she said. "But living there and studying there like Gus did actually augments that to a certain degree."
Lorenz said even though it had been a few years since Gus Rau Meyer Jr. studied abroad, his enthusiasm was still remembered.
She said that time spent studying abroad provided students with several different opportunities, the first being first-hand experience in another culture.

CHANGE ON THE HORIZON
"I'm a big proponent of local, but I'm not a proponent of smashing large industry," she said. "I do this because I love it. I hate for what I do to become so political for people that they have to take a stand on whether I'm a good person or a bad person for the way I grow it."
Diana Endicott and her husband Gary founded the Good Natured Family Farms Alliance, a co-op of farms in the Kansas City metro area that provides local farmers with a market to sell their products. Endicott also sells products to Sysco, the company that supplies the University with produce and grains for many of
"Food, Inc." proposes a return to a more localized style of life in which consumers depend on local growers.
"Change will come from students taking knowledge of new food agriculture and transcending the ways people farm because consumers will demand to eat differently," she said.
Salatin agreed that consumers held the power to change the industry without a single regulation, agency or bureaucrat. He said fast food chains like McDonald's drove the potato, lettuce, chicken, beef, onion and tomato markets worldwide.
"If we boycotted industrial ham burger joints for just three days, it would bring the entire industrial food system to its knees," he said. "Couldn't everybody do without a Big Mac for three days?"

Real change, Salatin said, wouldn't come from watching movies or buying organic clothes.
City, said the decision to eat healthy would cost more than eating less nutritious foods, but would increase quality of life in the long run.
"It's whether you spend your money on preventative health or on prescriptions later," she said.
"Food, Inc." starts at 7 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union, level 5, and is sponsored by CCO EARTH, Environics and Student Union Activities.
"We all tend to get excited about telling other people what they need to do," he said. "The only way you earn that right is by doing the right things yourself. So turn off the TV, rediscover your hot plate or stove, buy only raw and unprocessed food and enjoy."
