“We know about it. We are aware of it. We are gathering facts and will deal with it internally,” KU associate AD Jim Marchiony said Sunday morning.

“We were made aware of the situation concerning Jamari late last night. We have been gathering information all morning and will continue to do that,” KU men’s basketball coach Bill Self said. “This will certainly be addressed and handled as we receive complete information.”

New KU football coach David Beaty released a statement on Coleman’s arrest a little after 7 p.m. Sunday evening.
