  Les Miles wasted no time addressing the biggest story around his Kansas football program. In his opening statement at Big 12 Media Days on Monday, Miles said, "There is no violence - violence will not be accepted with women, period. Action was taken immediately." The "action" Miles alluded to was the suspension of running back Pooka Williams in December - a suspension announced the same day as Williams' arrest on suspicion of domestic battery. After spending more than seven months away from the team, Williams was reinstated July 8. But he won't be eligible to play in KU's season opener Aug. 31 against Indiana State, with the university suspending him for one game as a result of his actions.

Miles stands by the way he handled the situation. "We felt like a strong point was the made not only with Pooka Williams, but with the team," said Miles, entering his first year as the Jayhawks' head coach. "For seven and a half months Pooka was going through a process and he didn't have the opportunity to spend time with his team, go to the weight room, you know, just be a part. Pooka went through legal investigation with the legal community. Pooka also had a proceeding that went through the conduct board at the university, and he basically understood that if he did not meet the criteria that the board asked that this would not last long. He really met every criteria that he could." - Manhattan Mercury
