The Kansas men’s basketball team opened its slate of exhibition games Friday against Division II Pittsburgh State. The biggest takeaway wasn’t anything to do with the team, but instead the new gaudy black-and-green Monster Energy logos in the lane on both ends of the historic Allen Fieldhouse court officially unveiled for game action.
The logos looked tacky at best and downright ugly at worst, a shameless money grab led by Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark desecrating one of college basketball’s classic venues.
