@BeddieKU23 Here’s the thing. We better be ready. So let’s be ready. I’m all in for a down season in 2020-21 or something not too pretty. I’ve prepared myself since this time last year when the specter of serious sanctions were a high probability (and that high risk would be obvious to those willing to look at our predicament objectively at that time).
But the important thing, above all, is NOT having more than one season being banned from the tourney. Lose two scholarships, recruiting time limits, Self suspended 15 games, forfeit games DeSousa played in including the FF, one season tourney ban. Fine. But just not two seasons banned from the tourney.
If there is any negotiation that is occurring or being discussed, that should be the focus point. We can deal with one season as a martyr. Two seasons, it’s something much different, I think. If it’s two seasons, I think it a really high probability Self is gone. We could be looking at a complete change in the nature of our program – the dreaded above-averageness.
The real question becomes if the NCAA is targeting Self. What might be the bitter pill is if that’s the case, Self leaving could lessen sanctions and thus serves the NCAA’s goal – to target the coaches that run the programs that commit violations. Negotiations are about leverage. Self ran this program and this all occurred on his watch. The buck stops solely with him.
Not that I totally agree - - but yet I agree - -I know crazy right? - -I’m just ready for whatever - - -expecting the worst - -BUT hoping for the best. - -To answer the question you posed - -I guess you did anyways - - is the NCAA targeting Coach Self? - -I think yes they ARE targeting him. - -Does he deserve that? - -possibly/probably IF he is totally 100 % guilty , they may be crazy guidelines or so we think but IF he commited the guidelines/by-laws they have set - -then as the saying goes - - you do the crime - - -you do the time.
I love Self awesome Coach - if things are like they say then like you say Self is the one in charge of this program - - he has to now what’s going on at ALL times - what his assistants are doing - - their actions, - -I guess this is where possible lack of control falls right? -We will see , is it going tom take Coach Self stepping down to lessen the sanctions possibly? - -who knows - -would hate to lose him, maybe he just got caught up in the game - trying to quote - - un-quote - - keep up with the Jones’s - - I know two wrongs don’t make a right - and so yes you are right as much as we don’t or some don’t want to hear - - -the BUCK does stop with Coach Self - -he is the one in Charge.
Hell IDK how this thing will turn out in the end – like I said hoping for the vest Scenario - -but expecting the worst. - -I guess the best is or would be like you say if all is proved - - possibly the ONE yr ban from post season and reduction of Scholi’s - -for a year – two years - -I know probably worse , worse case Stripping of the Banners - - Coach forced out and post season ban and reduction of Scholi’s - just a bad situation - -time to stand up and be accountable if it’s true. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
