Kansas apologizes after Snoop Dogg's show featuring pole dancers
(CNN) - Kansas Jayhawks athletic director Jeff Long issued an apology Friday night following Snoop Dogg's raucous performance at an annual university event that included pole dancers. The hip-hop artist's appearance at the "Late Night in the Phog" kickoff at the University of Kansas caused controversy when Snoop, wearing a blue No. 20 Kansas jersey, sang to a cheering crowd while backed by dancers twirling around stripper poles. "We apologize for the Snoop Dogg performance at Late Night," Long said in a statement. Last week, the Kansas Jayhawks were charged by the NCAA with five Level I and two Level II violations, including a lack of institution control charge and a violation of coaching responsibilities standard.
