What recruiting violations do you think Kansas was guilty of that they need to be punished for? Frankly I think this whole thing is absurd that the ncaa regulates that the parents of a recruit cannot take out a loan from an established finance company based on future earnings until after the kid declares for the draft. How is this different from a student loan where the student takes out a loan for school and is not expected to begin paying it back until after they graduate and begin earning their future earnings? If these people want to take out a bad loan with a legit company that's on them. Like the majority of dumb people that take out loans they may not be capable of repaying, they should simply have to deal with the legal impacts of their stupidity and impatience. It's too bad for Cliff and for Kansas that he is the child of stupid parents that couldn't wait to cash in on their child. This could have all been avoided by one simple phone call to either the KU or ncaa compliance department to determine if this was an option and if so, when. They cannot have thought they were going to do this and not have it discovered when it requires you to fill out documentation that is publicly filed. This wasn't cash in a brown bag behind the gas station. Can't fix stupid, I suppose. Oh, well. Chalk one up in the "live and learn" department and move on. Cliff will get replaced in recruiting with a player that won't have a tough time providing more than what Cliff gave us and Kansas will be better off next year for it. Glad KU has an answer so that they don't have to play holding out hope that they might have him back. Now they can move forward and Lucas and Mickelson know for certain they will be counted on to produce.
