LAWRENCE — The 35th annual Late Night in the Phog Friday night was more than University of Kansas officials anticipated or wanted.

A performance by Snoop Dogg that included pole dancers, a money gun, and uncensored song lyrics prompted KU Director of Athletics Jeff Long to issue the following statement late Friday night.

“We apologize to anyone who was offended by the Snoop Dogg performance at Late Night. We made it clear to the entertainers’ managers that we expected a clean version of the show and took additional steps to communicate to our fans, including moving the artist to the final act of the evening, to ensure that no basketball activities would be missed if anyone did not want to stay for his show. I take full responsibility for not thoroughly vetting all the details of the performance and offer my personal apology to those who were offended. We strive to create a family atmosphere at Kansas and fell short of that this evening.”
