Jurisprudence

The NCAA membership of seven Kansas schools could be jeopardized if the state Legislature enacts a law giving them special protection from enforcement procedures, an NCAA official said.

However, Steve Morgan, associate executive director of the NCAA, said he does not believe that Executive Director Dick Schultz was making a threat in remarks interpreted by some as warning that Kansas schools could be “kicked out” of the NCAA if such a law were passed.

Kansas members of the NCAA are the University of Kansas, Kansas State, Wichita State, Ft. Hays State, Emporia State, Pittsburg State and Washburn.
