KU gives Bill Self & Assistant a 4 Game Suspension

[surly]

It's almost like Ku is relishing the moment, sticking it to the establishment NCAA by mocking them with these goofy punishments, just before hanging their banner.

It's been five years now since the FBI gave college presidents grounds to bury the squawks. #Nada

Doing nothing is doing something - isn't it - and in this case it's almost evil because the presidents are complicit.

Kansas suspends coach Bill Self four games, self-imposes recruiting restrictions amid ongoing investigation

The program has also sidelined lead assistant Kurtis Townsend in response to the ongoing IARP probe

www.cbssports.com

Also included:

• The reduction of four official visits during this academic year and in 2023-24.
• The reduction of three total scholarships in Men's Basketball; to be distributed over the next three years.
• The implementation of a six-week ban on recruiting communications, a six-week ban on unofficial visits and a thirteen-day reduction in the number of permissible recruiting days during the 2022-23 calendar year.
• No official visits for 2022 Late Night in the Phog.

And none of that matters because “NIL”, which isn’t (legally) connected to the school, will be doing all the real work. Traditional recruiting for blue bloods is just busy work and unnecessary work.

Heck, blue bloods don’t even need schollies.

The only reason why you'd do this is to hopefully lessen the actual penalties when they are levied. Basically as a way to ask for leniency.

But lets be real, they're only doing this because they got caught, not because of the crime itself.

It also helps to spread out the penalties. Since he has "already served" some of his suspension and recruiting limitations if they determine there should be more it will be spread out over at least 2 different seasons so the impact to his program will be much less. e.g. serving 4 game suspension at the beginning of this season and a 6 game at the beginning of next season hits less hard than serving a 10 game at the beginning of next season. Or 4 fewer recruiting visits this year and next year rather than 8 fewer all served next season.

Still don't understand why the VICTIM of all of this Adidas tomfoolery has to have any penalties at all...

Whar' Tuco?

The better punishment is to kick the players out of their 5 star dorms. Make them live in regular dorms with the regular student body for a year or two.

4? OMG

How will the program survive from going 4-0 against directional state U?

What a joke.

They won the natty, he doesn't care what it took.

Hey Adidas, we good?

No more recruiting Greenland and Antarctic is the recruiting restrictions per a source.

I've never understood self imposed penalties. It would be like giving your kids their choice of punishment. To me, it also proves KU was guilty. If they were innocent they would have no need to self impose anything.

Damage control so the University can displace itself from Self when the actual word drops. Just bravado.

Kansas basketball finally gives up on its 'Victim Jayhawks' routine

Kansas' self-imposed suspension of Bill Self drops the program's long-held charade that it was a victim of Adidas.

Looking at the Louisville ruling from the IARP, the self imposed penalties are probably harsher than what IARP will do.

Self: I love the fruits of winning a championship. We've already got our recruiting class put together, I'm going to take a vacation from recruiting.

KU Compliance: That gives me an idea...

Well, three directional sisters of the poor - and Duke.

That one loss to Duke for years of cheating their asses off?

Seems about right.

Without K they probably win anyway.

Looking at the Louisville ruling from the IARP, the self imposed penalties are probably harsher than what IARP will do.

Especially since the IARP disagreed with the NCAA in regards to Adidas being a booster.

Louisville IARP ruling: Cardinals avoid major sanctions, no postseason ban

The five plus year wait is finally over.

The key point in U of L’s case appears to be whether or not the Adidas employees involved in this scandal could be categorized as school boosters. The NCAA argued yes. The IARP disagreed.

Sad day for the KU haters.

Isn't everything that happens at the athletic department at KU Self-imposed?
