Nobody ever said that college athletes thought before they did things. That thought is especially true at the University of Kansas where basketball player Tyshawn Taylor is now nursing a dislocated finger after a "scuffle" broke out Tuesday between players from the Football team and players from the Basketball Team.

Not only was there 1 fight, there apparently were 2. There were plenty of people who saw the whole thing but oddly enough (note: sarcasm), nobody wanted to press charges. The first was the one Tuesday where Taylor got hurt, there apparently was a follow-up sometime Wednesday morning. In the second incident, nobody would identify participants.
Confused Kansas Athletic Director Lew Perkins issued a statement:
"We are aware of an incident that occurred last evening that involved members of the football and men's basketball teams. I am disappointed that some of our student-athletes put themselves in this position, and it's something that I am taking very seriously.
"I continue to gather facts about this incident, and I plan to address this issue personally with both teams. I also know that Bill Self and Mark Mangino are working together to address it, and I am confident that they will handle the situation appropriately with their teams.
"We will handle any discipline regarding this incident internally, and we will have no further comment about it."
It will be kind of interesting to see what exactly they come up with...Oh...wait, they won't talk about it any more. Maybe if they close their eyes and say "There's no place like home", it will all go away.
