Adidas really seems to be at the heart of so many of these stories.

When you do business in Europe, you understand their rules are different.

How many scholarships lost? How many wins vacated? How many coaches and administrators fired/resigned? How many postseason bans?

That said, my point was less about KU than the NCAA. I have made this same point about football, which clearly has nothing to do with KU.

"The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky that they are gonna give Cleveland State the death penalty" - Jerry Tarkanian.
Kansas has received the punishment that was defined for the violations that were found guilty of. If you have an example of a violation that Kansas was found guilty of where you do not believe that they received a harsh enough penalty for, please list it. Otherwise you're just randomly whining.

This statement is hilariously sad. Think about it for a bit.
Why is that? I am realistic in that I am aware that Kansas has committed some recruiting violations in the last 25 years. Nearly every P5 school has. It's just absurd to say that Kansas has been let off the hook and not punished for violations when that is clearly not the case. I know it's fun to rant on a rival but creating an alternate reality and trying to pass it off as fact is something that I will call out every time.

Link? and even if true certainly not to the extent they should have been.
I am not going to do your research for you. If you want to post an accusation then back it up with some facts and resources. The last time Kansas missed the NCAA tourney, it was as a result of a postseason ban due to violations.

Hopefully history repeats itself again soon.

Replying to @DanWetzel


Bowen Sr. said he was paid $2,000 a month to have his son attend La Lumiere by then coach Shane Heirman

✔@DanWetzel


Bowen Sr. said Dawkins told him an original offer of $60,000 to $80,000 from Adidas to attend Louisville was increased to $100,000 because that is how much Billy Preston got to go to Kansas

3:40 PM - Oct 4, 2018

Bowen got shafted, Billy got the keys to a sweet ride as well.

You know Creighton really surprises me. The Jesuits won't put up that for a moment if found true.

Ku fans are seemingly coming to grips with the fact they may be in trouble and have to vacate some of their basketball excellence. Some are down to the 'everyone does it' state of mind.

Can't believe Frank Martin has escaped any mention to this point in time.

How Frank Martin escapes any mention is beyond me. Sindarous Thornwell was tied directly to USCe shoe company payments. And Beasley admitted he got paid for playing at K-State. Martin's lead recruiter, then at oSu, was arrested. Martin was given the run from MHK over recruiting concerns by the then athletics director, John Currie.

so whats going to actually happen?
There's no way of knowing that today. The FBI is a variable we have not seen since the 70's when BC players were found shaving for the mafia. They made a documentary bout that one. So, maybe we have something that rivals "Hoosiers" as the greats sports movie of all time staring some Bill Self lookalike?
