Kansas facing really serious charges from NCAA
I know all the jokes, but this is bad news for them. Lack of institutional control is the charge that brings their harshest penalties. There are further serious allegation, including against Bill Self.

Pretty sure this was posted already, unless that thread was simply the announcement that Kansas was being informed of the allegations.
September 23rd, 2019 at 5:35 PM ^
The previous post was saying that Kansas was going to get notified. This one actually has the charges.
I feel sorry for the local barber college that will the death penalty because of this.
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:54 PM ^
Now why drag Old Town Barber College into this?
September 23rd, 2019 at 5:31 PM ^
Yikes, I hope they don't penalize Missouri too harshly
September 23rd, 2019 at 5:33 PM ^
Odds Self rats out Duke and UNC to save himself?
I mean it’s right in the wire tap....
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:12 PM ^
0%.
He's just going to take an NBA gig.
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:34 PM ^
Basketball equivalent to Pete Carrol
September 23rd, 2019 at 5:33 PM ^
This might have already been posted but first I've seen of the story. Interesting, the dreaded "Lack of institutional control" - let's see if that happens.

On a related note, I get why Jalen Wilson left a transitioning Michigan. But why any top recruit would pick Kansas given all the reporting about likely sanctions is baffling. Maybe he just assumed the penalty would be a wrist-slap but why gamble? Also Kansas has been a paper tiger for years.
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:03 PM ^
Kansas has been a paper tiger since Danny Manning.
September 23rd, 2019 at 9:12 PM ^
Yea I guess if you ignore the 3 final fours in the last 10 years and NCAA championship in 2008 -- yes paper tigers
September 23rd, 2019 at 9:42 PM ^
I said in years. I don’t think Kansas has made a final four since like 2012. Since then, despite being a nearly perennial final four 4 favorite, the team has consistently failed to meet expectations. I don’t think many people dispute this.
September 23rd, 2019 at 9:59 PM ^
Dude...they just went to the Final Four in 2018 and lost to the same team that beat us in the finals, Villanova.
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:17 PM ^
Because recruits tend to believe coaches and coaches lie their asses off when they're in trouble. Same thing happened at Ole Miss with Freeze after they received their notice. At least Self didn't know exactly what was coming.
September 24th, 2019 at 10:46 AM ^
Because recruits know that the NCAA moves at a gallacial pace and even when they make a ruling almost never sanction big time programs in any meaningful way.
September 23rd, 2019 at 5:40 PM ^
Let's get Les Miles.
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:02 PM ^
Didnt you hear that Brent Venables is the next Saban? Hes a cant miss hire. Whats wrong with you
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:43 PM ^
Come on....Les is grass fed....all natural .
September 23rd, 2019 at 5:42 PM ^
If Kansas is smart, they will fight this vigorously and theyll be hit with the minimum. The NCAA thrives on small programs and programs with morals like UM where we invoke "a day of great shame". Do like the big boys and fight it, NCAA are cowards.
September 23rd, 2019 at 5:43 PM ^
Nice. Hope it tanks their program and my wildcats can actually beat them.
September 23rd, 2019 at 5:46 PM ^
No big deal. They'll be fine. Unless, of course, they were stretching for 10 extra minutes.
September 23rd, 2019 at 5:52 PM ^
What? Adidas was funneling money to Kansas recruits? And Kansas knew about it?
So shocking.
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:01 PM ^
Frankly, this means absolutely nothing. Today I spoke with an anonymous prospect that visited Kansas recently and he expressly told me the potential sanctions have zero impact on his decision or the atmosphere on his visit.
Until the NCAA actually penalizes a program severely to the extent it hinders said program from succeeding on the court, this is all just gossip talk functionally.
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:38 PM ^
Says a ton about said anonymous prospect!
September 23rd, 2019 at 8:07 PM ^
He's got a surprise coming when he signs his LOI.
"Yesterday we were recruiting you. Today you're staff."
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:02 PM ^
The usual joke is that this means that some weakling program will get punished as a consequence. In this case, it’s actually true—the weakling program that the NCAA will throw the book at is Kansas football.
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:07 PM ^
Why would this affect the 5* one and dones? They don't care about the NCAA tourney. They just want to play a year and move on.
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:23 PM ^
NCAA likes to do this from time to time to give the perception that they are in control.
The FBI wiretap has shown that the NCAA does, or at least should, know about a LOT more than they will ever let on to. The NCAA is, at best, a sham of an organization
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:25 PM ^
This surprises me, NOT!
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:27 PM ^
The NCAA is going to pound Western Illinois' balls flat over this one.
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:33 PM ^
I first thought this was about Les. So glad it's not. I want Kansas to come out from the depths of hell once again. Makes me think we ***Could*** do it too!
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:33 PM ^
What's that tiny little college that occasionally plays the odd Division I opponent? Pittsburg with no "h". They are in Kansas too. They are probably doomed as a result.
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:37 PM ^
I doubt he’s got the cache to get a head coaching gig in the NBA.
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:50 PM ^
He definitely does
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:43 PM ^
September 23rd, 2019 at 7:09 PM ^
I can't believe it's taken this long to bust them.
Kansas has been dirty for a long time.
I'm sure there is some other big name BB schools that are sweating right now. Kansas is not alone.
September 23rd, 2019 at 7:15 PM ^
There’s no way Kentucky, Duke, etc. aren’t just as dirty. Until/unless the NCAA goes after them, they have no credibility.
September 23rd, 2019 at 8:05 PM ^
They're safe unless an FBI Nike investigation comes to light. The wiretaps this time hit Adidas.
September 24th, 2019 at 8:27 AM ^
The first step has to be going after the programs with damning FBI wiretap evidence. Going after other programs you suspect is fine to try later. But you can't delay going after Kansas and the others they are charging now.
If Kansas and a few others get hit hard, those other schools will start fearing an NCAA investigation. If they are let off lightly because of an everybody does it attitude, nothing will change.
September 23rd, 2019 at 7:16 PM ^

Wonder what Jalen Wilson is thinking right now.......
September 23rd, 2019 at 8:04 PM ^
Thinking he shoulda taken more money.
September 23rd, 2019 at 8:33 PM ^
That he will leave for the pros (not necessarily the NBA) before any final sanctions are levied
September 23rd, 2019 at 7:43 PM ^
? wake me up when there is an actual meaningful penalty levied.
September 23rd, 2019 at 8:14 PM ^
These are serious allegations, but I have a difficult time believing that there will be serious reprecussions.
September 23rd, 2019 at 8:30 PM ^
Is that considered Self reporting? :)
September 23rd, 2019 at 8:32 PM ^
Lack of wet wipes for bill self.
September 23rd, 2019 at 10:34 PM ^
Good. Crater them.
September 24th, 2019 at 1:18 PM ^
I feel a self-ban from the CBI, and maybe even the NIT, coming here.
