There are so many facts being left out in all of this talk, though. Jackson wasn't the only guy who kicked the car (not that it makes it better), and they couldn't decide who did what damage. That's fine. What isn't fine, is to make the assumption that Jackson did all of the damage, which is what her father did, dragging it out as if he went Rambo on her car. He kicked out a headlight.
This same girl was involved in a completely different altercation with another KU player on a different, previous night. Namely, the one she threw the drink on.
In the end, he participated in damaging a girl's car, paid for all of the damage out of pocket, voluntarily. He backed into a car and initially left the scene without dropping a note. That's what he did wrong off the court all semester, which doesn't seem all that crazy to me in the scheme of college experiences.
Jackson made some poor choices, but the Kansas City Star's reporting on this all year was headhunting Jackson and the KU program. You would have thought there was this huge string of incidents throughout the season, but it was the Star reporting on the same three stories. The first of which was a KU player being charged with assault by a woman in their dorm stairwell. Footage revealed the opposite, with her assaulting the KU basketball player and falling "up" the stairs. The story disappeared the second this was made aware with little to no follow up. I'm so done with the KC Star's shoddy reporting this year.
