Benton Smith: Jayhawks, fans enter season without NCAA allegations on their minds

This Kansas basketball season is going to be a movie. And a packed Allen Fieldhouse on Friday night proved the program’s fans are ready to suspend their disbelief, throw down some popcorn and take in the show. Same as it’s not enjoyable to watch “Avengers” and sit there critiquing it, talking about how unrealistic it is when Thanos snaps his fingers and other inconceivable characters disintegrate into ...
