Don't know what the problem is because Frank cannot comment but something is happening. When I know more I will let you know.

Still on team....for now
-
Found on Twitter - not confirmed
Despite tweets saying he's still on the team, friend who "knows people" claims Curtis Kelly kicked off #KSU team for failed drug test.

Here is a pretty good summary of what they found:
http://kansascity.sbnation.com/kansas-st-wildcats/2011/2/9/1983812/curtis-kelly-investigation-kansas-state
By now you know Kansas State Wildcats forward Curtis Kelly is under investigation by the school for some sort of violation of department policy. K-State, citing privacy issues, aren't talking about the alleged violation. So no reports have anyone on the record but Kellis Robinett of the Kansas City Star goes through the student-athlete handbook and finds one violation that fits.
But a source indicated Kelly is a repeat offender of the condition in question and that it has cost him playing time already this season.
According to K-State's student-athlete handbook, only one violation would fit those parameters - a violation of the student-athlete drug and alcohol policy.
Austin Meek of the Topeka Capital Journal reported (I think he was first, but could be wrong) that the investigation could result in Kelly's dismissal from the team. As Robinett points out, that would suggest three violations of the student-athlete drug and alcohol policy.
A first violation and the student-athlete must tell their parents with the coach present and undergo counseling. We have no idea if this happened or not.
A second violation results in a suspension for 10 percent (three games) of the season. This is where it starts to match up. Kelly didn't play for three games early in the season and we never really figured out why. Head coach Frank Martin said he didn't like Kelly's practice habits but never expounded on it.
A third violation results in dismissal from the team and loss of financial aid. That's what reportedly may be happening now. Check out Robinett's report for more details on the situation.
Kelly has reportedly appealed the decision and if the appeal doesn't work, he'd become the third player to leave the Kansas State program this season.

I would also like to point out that if it in fact is a failed drug test then how did two of our players get away with it last year. I know for a fact that two of our starters smoked b4 every home game. How is Kelly getting caught!!!
-
I'm sick and tired of all this drama. Come on
Football baseball season.

To whomever changed the forum title; genius,
Although I'm more of an 'As the World Turns' guy.

SethDavisHoops Seth davis
Frank Martin told me on Courtside that Curtis Kelly "is a part of our program" and he doesn't expect it to change. Airs on CBS College at 6.
-
i hope you're right. but anybody know his status for being able to play this saturday??
-
Unless they kick him off the team before saturday he will play.
-
I wish I had ESP!!
-
Now some questions come to mind. Since its clear that he failed the 2nd test which ='s 10% of games which is about 2/3. I will take 3 and roll with the questions. Kelly sat the first 3 games due to "unknown reasons" but thoughts that he might be in Franks dog house. Was he???? or was he serving his 3 game susspension for failed 2nd test. Or.. did both Jake and Kelly receive 3 game suspensions for the clothes and Kelly served a 3 game suspension on top of that to hide his drug use?
-
It is my understanding that the initial 3 game suspension at the beginning of the year was because of a failed drug test which is in-line with the penalities according to the K-State Athletic Rules Book.
The reason Kelly got a 6 game instead of a 3 game was because he went over a monetary threshold that Jake hadn't quite met.
Just to be clear, if this is his 2nd failed test he will be removed from the team according to the "guidelines," however, Kelly filed an appeal so now we just have to wait and see. It is promising that Frank said last night on a TV show that Kelly is part of the team and he doesn't see that changing.
I hope that helps.

OR....Maye FM and JC are learning how Self and ex-Perkins get around issues like this. We're on the path to a future National Championship. :huh: :popcorn:

Kelly was in uniform and practicing today....crisis averted??

I just heard from an unnamed source, a source that knew about this story before I did, that his appeal has been granted. This has to be good news.

Any one have a transcript from the news conference today?
