Kansas Jayhawks head football coach Charlie Weis has had a bad couple of days. Considering the fact that Kansas is not usually a football powerhouse, they’ve now made it into the headlines of the press for the wrong reasons multiple times this week.
Earlier this week Weis held a practice that did not allow the Seniors to participate, in an effort to give the young players more experience and to prepare for the future. Prior to this incident, he was criticized by a student newspaper reporter, Blake Schuster, and this week Weis responded.
Instead of having Schuster banned from the press conference, Weis had the director of football communications pull Schuster aside and warn him that Weis might change his tone if Schuster asked him a question. Rather than test it out and see what was meant by that, Schuster opted against not asking a question. It will certainly be interpreted by many as a way to keep the student quiet.
Picking on a student is probably not going to go over very well with the fan base and the University, and it will be interesting to see what the fall out from this incident will be.
