Responding to their hysterical overreaction, Kansas associate AD Jim Marchiony said that the school's NCAA report was not meant as an attack on Marian Washington and Lynette Woodard.

There have been no better representatives of the University of Kansas than those two on several different levels. Marian is literally one of the great pioneers in sports. We were blessed to have her at KU for three decades.

Lynette is one of the great basketball players of all time. She played with class and is a great ambassador for the university.

We will never believe Lynette Woodard or Marian Washington would knowingly break an NCAA rule.

Marchiony explained that as an NCAA member institution, the school was simply required to report the violations it discovered during its investigation.
