NCAA Gives Jayhawk Nine-Game Suspension: The NCAA doled out its longest suspension to a player from a major program since it banned former Connecticut Husky Charlie Villanueva for eight games. Kansas sophomore center will miss the first nine games of the season because of an undisclosed connection to a Jayhawk booster. Jackson only averaged two points and 1.7 rebounds per game last season, but he figured to play a bigger role this season. Student-athletes should avoid boosters like the plague because they seem to bring nothing but trouble — and suspensions.
