Brock Berglund granted release from Kansas

Friday, January 27, 2012

Former Kansas quarterback commit Brock Berglund has been granted permission to contact other schools per his intent to transfer according to a Kansas athletics release.

Berglund never played for Kansas, after missing the 2011 season because of legal issues in Colorado.

A statement from Kansas Athletics included some words from coach Charlie Weis:

“Today, Brock Berglund is released from his scholarship at KU to pursue other opportunities. Brock and his representatives have publicly stated their case without any public response from me to this point. Brock spent the majority of the past calendar year in Colorado taking online courses at KU’s expense, which was nearly $40,000. At no time was Brock an active participant of the football team. Once competition was recruited at the quarterback position, Brock decided he no longer wanted to be a part of the team. He was expected to show up for a mandatory team meeting on Sunday, Jan. 15, but he sent an email less than two hours before the meeting to inform us that he had decided to transfer and would not be attending the meeting. He was dismissed after following through on that promise.”

“Although Brock has been granted his release, I only wish that he had showed the same courtesy that other players showed and came to talk to me. He decided that he did not have to follow the same protocol as the other departing members of the football team. I believe no individual should be more important than the team. Brock did not see it that way.”
