LJWorld doing PR Work Once Again for KU

Last week, the Lawrence-Journal World put together what appears to be an honest feature on the ease in which universities skew the graduation and academic records of student-athletes.

But seriously...

This is also a huge (free) PR job the LJWorld is doing for KU.

If the numbers were skewed toward KU too much (as opposed to MU), would they have taken the time to point out the flaws and the shaft that MU was receiving?

These kinds of stories aren't just generated from people in a newsroom. Someone at KU gave the LJ World a heads up on this report coming from a KC television station. LJ World kills two birds with one stone by pointing out faulty reporting on the part of the neighboring big city competitor and keeps their sports readers happy by going after the oh-so-hated Tigers.
