Football stadium stuff especially. Also Vernon broke the Self contract extension story. He and Stew is good people. Under Goff, KU leaks a heck of a lot less than it did under Long or Zenger. Which is good! They were right on the admin really pressing for a B1G invite, which still might come. Especially if the NCAA Tournament gets blown up and we get to keep more of that sweet cash. Or if football gets very good in the next 3 years.

Some of that is just common sense huh?

“The IARP concept has been such a disappointment that sources say there is a real chance it is drastically downsized or scrapped altogether. “[The IARP] was an experiment. And you never want to experiment with the biggest cases of the modern era,” one source told SI.”
-
Who woulda thought…
"The NCAA has a well-established history of back room deliberations that produce unfair punishments for athletes, coaches, and universities,” Blackburn said in a statement to SI. “With the emergence of new name, image, and likeness rules, it is more important than ever to address the systematic failures that have eroded league fairness. The NCAA Accountability Act will establish much-needed due process and shine a light on unfair treatment from NCAA leadership.”

News to us
Notices of allegations have been delivered in all four cases, and hearings have been set for at least Kansas and Louisville for this spring.

@BeddieKU23 calling the ncaa stupid is letting them off easy. F***ing basketball mafia.

I still don’t understand how the government can regulate the NCAA, or why the NCAA should listen.

Well there is always the threat to start taxing them if they don’t play ball. Plus the government can levy fines.
But I’m not sure how I feel about the government sticking their nose into it all

Yeah, taking it to an extreme maybe, but imagine your local, state or US government holding hearings on the playing status of a college player — for whatever reason.
One thing leads to another.
-
The parts of this legislation that I’m interested in is basically putting a shorter statute of limitations on the NCAA to investigate cases and a shorter time frame to invest cases once an NOA is delivered to a school.
-
Federal jurisdiction can be easily grounded in the Commerce Clause providing congressional authority over interstate commerce. Love to see the NCAA try to argue it is not a business!

Government involvement is not without precedent. Phog Allen was forced to retire by KS legislature. Not exactly the same thing we’re talking about with the NCAA and fed, but in the same solar system.

When you put Blackburn and Booker together to sponsor a bill… you best be paying attention!
Love this:
“Louisville, Arizona and LSU have all dismissed the head coaches of the programs at the times of the alleged violations, although on markedly different timelines. Louisville fired Rick Pitino immediately; Arizona parted ways with Sean Miller in spring 2021; and LSU just terminated Will Wade earlier this month. Kansas, on the other hand, has given Bill Self a “lifetime contract.””

never had thought about that - -You suppose that KU feels so confident that nothing is going to come out of this whole dam thing , and they know a lot more then is being made public through the he said she said gossip- they feeling good enough that they wanted to offer Bill the life time contract just to kind of kick sand in the NCAA face - show em up lol.-- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

NCAA president decries pace of basketball investigations, including KU probe https://m.kusports.com/news/2022/apr/01/ncaa-president-decries-pace-basketball-investigati/
There just is no other way to see Emmert being anything more than a turd sandwich. Unreal that this process, which has ZERO legal teeth, thinks it will produce findings with more depth than the federal authorities did. Yet they now have the authority to relieve themselves of accountability by having the process void of an appeal process. It’s anti-American. Who wrote this concept up… Putin?
-
@drgnslayr Agreed! But who would ever consent to it?
-
KU pulling Self and Townsend off the road recruiting. Will be 5 years since the news broke in September, which is crazy to think about. Hopefully this is the start of something the IARP/NCAA/KU agreed upon. Self and Townsend banned from recruiting for X years and then maybe a postseason ban or something for the coaches.
-
I hate this move
Unless it’s truly a penalty they are taking in advance I see zero reason to play this game
-

I would tend to agree with this. I am surprised we are even giving an inch at this point.

Having this happen sure doesn’t help our recruiting , when you can’t have your Heda Coach being able to get out and recruit, mean alot to these kids. The article says KU can’t comment cause could led to further violation is they were to discuss on going investigation . Talks about how this is the 1st cooperative effort by KU. It sends a signal among Coaching circles , with Self being absent that just increased speculation , they still talking significant suspension & post season ban.
I still think that YES Bill will be suspended , how long -who knows , I also think Townsend will be let go. Just ready to gt this behind us been drug out long enough. I think we all know that there has been violations committed - -how strong ? - -don’t know just to much fire for there to be Nothing, we are not squeaky clean in this.
If they try to hit Coach with a show cause then I think things will hit the fan and be the biggest mistake for this screwy NCAA
-
@Kcmatt7 I hate it too. Maybe they have some confidence in reports from the other 2 coaches. I don’t want a post season ban or Self banned!
-
Someone get a shovel and start digging in Coach Ks backyard.
-
Future Kansas head coach Jeremy Case will handle recruiting just fine.
-
Also, this is a good move.
-
Not worried about this.
-
Take a vacation to not recruit a historically bad class? Idk the wisdom of it since it’ll depend on whether we get any credit for it from the IARP, but right now I’m inclined to say it’s a big old nothingburger. KU is very tight lipped about it.
-
Days like today I miss HEM coming here and saying why this is THE sign we’re about to get nailed to the wall and Self should’ve been gone years ago. Good times.

I guess we’ll see, at some point, maybe? Historically programs that have self-imposed penalties don’t get brownie points with the NCAA
-
The report also made it sound as if Self & T were held out during Spring recruiting period as well.
-
Could it be that this is part of a yet-unannounced IARP settlement? KU is getting this out of the way while still having a great incoming class that will cover 2023-24 well with only transfers? Just a thought….

My gut reaction is this is part of a settlement. It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if the penalties are very minor. We pushed back so hard, I’m thinking the NCAA just wants to be done with it. I’ll put the wishful thinking cap on, and hope for the best.
-
It sounds like KU has their NIL program running pretty strongly now which is huge positive if Self and KT aren’t out traveling to recruit.
This also doesn’t look like it’ll be a very big class for KU as far as numbers go. Cam Martin and Jalen Wilson are the only two I’d prepare to lose for sure and then prepare for the potential of McCullar, Dick, and Rice although I don’t think all 3 leave. As weak as the 2023 class is overall, Self’s probably going to lean much more heavily on the transfer market than HS kids to replace those who leave after this season.
Overall, I don’t think this move will have a significant impact on KU’s recruiting for 2023 because I think it’ll a more transfer heavy class than HS heavy class due to the overall weakness of this class.
-
Honestly, speculation is just useless during this invisible IARP “process”.
It completely sucks. An embarrassment for the NCAA and years of torment for all the schools still waiting for a ruling.
I truly can’t believe they haven’t aborted this entire thing, or at the very least realized they need to hire more people to handle the workload. How hard can that be???
-
At this point it’s like prosecuting a dude for having a little weed on him in downtown Denver circa 2007.
-
But if I did react to the Self/Townsend recruiting news…
I’d say it doesn’t appear to be a good sign they’ve been benched.
KU has been fighting this every step of the way (as far as we know). Self-imposing a penalty (no pun intended) can be read no other way than admitting guilt of some sort.
-
I made some brownies, the illustration goes, which were made with the traditional ingredients but a bird flew through the house and pooped in the mix and so we just baked it right into the brownies. Who’d like some brownies? I mean it’s just a little bit of poop, probably won’t even taste it.
If Bill Self pooped on the recruiting trail even a little bit (sorry this is getting weird) then it’s hard for me to stomach. However, someone’s gonna have to show evidence that he’s guilty indeed, and after 5 years the brownies have gotten stale and I don’t want to eat them anyway. The tainted brownies should have been served up last decade if that’s what was in the oven. Now, beyond ridiculous, particularly when you look at when the alleged infractions took place.
-
We haven’t even had the IARP hearing yet, acc to the article.

Quote from Self recently…
Self: “Let’s just call it like it is. If you go to a school and you’re not driving a brand-new car within the first month that you’re there, then someone’s not doing their job. … All of the kids can have agents now. Everybody can have an agent. … It’s out of control. It hasn’t been out of control (at Kansas). We’re actually quite a bit behind, I think. Hopefully, we’ll get caught up.”
-
@BeddieKU23 That doesn’t make Self look very good.

@wissox said in IARP update:

Would you care to explain how?
-
@BeddieKU23 I take that quote as Self deflecting a bit to not throw KU under the NCAA and IARP bus anymore than he has to and because Self also tends to be pretty self depreciating at times and that reads like one of those times. Remember that part of why KU is under investigation is because of a player that received a brand new car either before he arrived on campus or shortly after arriving prior to NIL making stuff like that okay. KU hiring Altius Sports to oversee the NIL program means there’s going to be plenty of NIL money for athletes at KU.
For more evidence that KU’s NIL program is in a good place, look at two recruits in the 2023 class that have interest in KU, Mikey Williams and Bronny James. Those two have massive social media followings and will likely be going wherever they can make the most money, whether that’s professional or NIL money. Both names have been connected to KU as a possible destination which says KU can offer each of them a very strong NIL deal to come to KU.
Also, look at someone like Cam Martin. Why did he choose to not transfer out after the season and go somewhere he could star and get all the playing time he wants? NIL money is probably the answer to that question.
-
From all I’ve seen and heard KU players did really well with NIL this year especially with the Championship post tour run. I see KU making innovative moves to stay competitive in the shark infested waters. It was though interesting to hear it from Self that he doesn’t think its where it needs to be to compete in this climate.
I think our recent title is why Mikey & Bronny are interested. Looks good for their brand. Doesn’t hurt KU at all either if they show love.
-
@Kcmatt7 Unless I read it wrong I read Self saying we’re behind because our kids don’t have agents and brand new cars which sounds like cheating. Has the landscape of college athletics changed so much that athletes are allowed to have agents and brand new cars? The way I read it is Self saying we’ve got to catch up in cheating since everyone is.
