It will sure be interesting to see how far the NCAA wants to pursue this. They let North Carolina off easy despite innumerable serious NCAA academic fraud issues and other rule violations, and only gave Louisville a slap on the hand after arranging 6-figure cash payments to recruits while they were on probation from their hooker/stripper scandal. I expect the same result here. They don't want to get Kansas too upset.

This is probably related... the star recruit of Bill Self's 2019 recruiting class at Kansas just left school only about 3 weeks into the school year.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Probably will just get reduced recruiting time.

The NCAA charges are out, and they are described as "potentially devastating" to the Kansas basketball program and to Bill Self.

There are also lesser charges against the Kansas football program, but the major charges concern the basketball program, including "three Level I violations in men’s basketball and there is a head coach responsibility charge against coach Bill Self", and a charge of "lack of institutional control". The Level I charges revolve around serious recruiting violations regarding 2 specific players (Billy Preston & Silvio De Sousa). The charges against Bill Self come from text messages between him and Adidas representative T'.J. Gassnola that were entered into evidence by the FBI in their federal racketeering case which shows that Self appeared to know about and was involved in the payoffs and corruption.

As if the NCAA didn't know that already!!

An interesting tweet on the KU situation..

@GabeDeArmond
So here’s the explanation (which is crazy, which means it makes perfect sense in the NCAA world) Basically “he’s a booster when we want that to help us…but if there’s a time down the road that might hurt us we change our mind"

What a joke. I am sure Kansas also has other fall-back excuses they will claim if this doesn't work for them. In the end, the NCAA will judge that the poor Kansas program has suffered enough with all this persecution, and will let them off with a warning (probation).

New article from CBS Sports-

They are convinced the NCAA will come down hard on Bill Self and KU to save their reputation.
They state "the byproduct of that is Kansas being charged with three Level I violations that could lead to the school vacating significant achievements while its Hall of Fame coach faces career-altering punishments."
Also, "it's really hard to envision a scenario where Kansas officials are able to successfully argue their program shouldn't be punished severely for the fact that Adidas officials were aggressively pursuing and executing deals for prospects in an attempt to ensure the apparel company's biggest basketball program remained atop the Big 12."

" Vacating significant achievements" from the past does nothing. However, to tell them they cant play in the NCAA tournaments for 2 or 3 years would do something.

Bill Self is basically giving the middle finger to the NCAA.

Tonight, Kansas had a "Midnight Madness" event called "Late Night in the Phog" that featured rapper Snoop Dogg performing along with pole dancers and other dancers in skimpy outfits, using profanity, and in which Snoop Dogg shot loads of cash into the crowd with a dollar-bill gun.

And apparently, Bill Self is featured in a Kansas video wearing a T-shirt with an oversized ADIDAS logo, and multiple large pimp-style gold chains around his neck, one of which had a large dollar sign pendant-

The Kansas AD has publicly apologized for the profanity-laced performance by Snoop Dogg last night

Here is the Bill Self video released earlier in the week-

Wow. That is really, just wow.

I would be ashamed if I was the President at KU because they marketed this as family friendly, and you basically have your head coach flaunting his attitude in front of the NCAA.

Another Big 12 school hit with major violation-

https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/oklahoma-state-receives-notice-of-allegations-from-ncaa-due-to-fbi-probe-into-recruiting-corruption/

Lamont Evans, a former Oklahoma State assistant who was one of the coaches who were arrested, charged, and found guilty with federal crimes in the FBI corruption case is now at the center of a new Level 1 "unethical conduct" violation that Oklahoma State has received from the NCAA. Illinois head coach Brad Underwood was the head coach at OK State at the time.
