KU players will not face charges from fights

LAWRENCE — No charges will be filed against Kansas basketball and football players relating to the series of public fights that broke out between the teams in September, Lawrence city prosecutor Jerry Little said this afternoon.

Little's office received the evidence collected by campus police, who were investigating a possible disorderly conduct charge. Little said there was not enough evidence to press charges, citing insufficient witness accounts.

Little said the university is still handling its own investigation but that legally the matter was now finished.
