Children.

So apparently a brawl broke out on Wescoe beach between the University of Kansas Basketball and Football players, regarding such important issues as popularity on campus and girls. You know, as opposed to secondary issues such as scholarships, getting an education, becoming productive members of society, and winning games. And this Wescoe brawl was apparently the SECOND on campus brawl in as many days (the other being reported in front of the Burge Union).

Are you serious? This is the kind of juvenile behavior I expect from high schoolers, and even then it should not be tolerated. GTA's get less money and respect as "representatives of the university" and they get kicked off campus completely for less.

It's the second fight ON CAMPUS (and there have been a few others reported off campus over the years), and that to me is unacceptable.
I say cut the scholarships of all involved. One fight is too much, but allowing a second to happen without any kind of response is unacceptable. Otherwise my embarrassment will go from "look how ridiculously our athletes acted" to "look how shamefully our university acted."

And it is even more shameful that a (hopefully) minority of disrespectful and stupid players brought disgrace on an otherwise fine athletics department.
