Well now Big time storm brewing - maybe our way
-
Word is the two major violators are Arizona and Louisville. I could see both getting hit with post season bans, but I think if that happens, that’s also where it stops.
The NCAA jut doesn’t have enough marketable teams to have more than one P5 team from each P5 conference on a ban at any one time. They simply can’t afford it. And part of me thinks the NCAA will be hesitant to hit Arizona with a penalty because they need west coast TV markets. The NCAA tournament needs to draw west coast eyeballs. With the Pac-12 down, and Gonzaga having a limited following, its really hard to attract that interest.
The money train is slowing down. It won’t take much more to derail it completely.
-
I think Zona and Louisville get nuked from orbit. I think Louisville is still in hot water over the hookers.
-
For a money train that is allegedly slowing down, and subject to derailing, the trend line is up.

Is there something I am missing?

I read an incredibly boring, acronym-laden 53-page PDF about the internal operating procedures of the NCAA Committee on Infractions today. It lists among a lot of other things the types of penalties the NCAA can impose on member institutions and the level of violations that would warrant those penalties, reconsideration of penalties, and the appeals process.
I would start on Page 37.
I don’t think KU will receive a postseason ban, but it’s hard to know because everything in here is so vague and open to interpretation. I would guess if we get anything that it will be a vacation of wins and records, but nothing the NCAA does would surprise me. Most people (even non-KU fans) were surprised at the severity of the penalty given to SDS. I could see the NCAA being like “Fine, Silvio is eligible to play in 19-20, but KU’s not. 1-year post-season ban.”

@KirkIsMyHinrich You’re a brave soul to have wadded through that document:

Fewer eyeballs on the tournament reduces the NCAA’s negotiating power when tv deals come up for renegotiating. If multiple high profile schools are hit with postseason bans, the NCAA could lose millions in revenue. All about positioning for the future.

@FarmerJayhawk Yup. Also change is coming. We are just in the early stages. The NBA desperately wants the G League to become the main developmental league for NBA basketball. We are seeing players that are eligible now opting to play overseas instead. Where it all shakes out I can’t say but the NCAA will not 100% be the same.

@Hawk8086 Sanctions seem inescapable to me. Would be hard for me to believe that we’re not one of the six programs referenced. But the large majority here believes there is not much to be concerned about. Lots of directions this could go.
@Bosthawk I think the DeSousa decision was related to the student-athlete and his particular situation. Think of it this way – we played a player, through the final four, who was then suspended for a full season. Further, it might give an insight into the NCAA’s view of the seriousness of this when they hit DeSousa with a two year suspension initially. That’s a big deal. Also, remember, the appeals board is a different composition - the Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee. The Duke thing has me very interested too, and I would be curious as well as to what the NCAA is doing on that – if we are hit with sanctions.
Like I said previously - -oh ya we gonna get hit. To what degree - who knows , but for those people who think we are skating through this - -I really hope they will share some of the shit their smoking cause I’m telling you the NCAA is looking to make an example out of someone of this whole thing -and I think they woukld love if there is any possible way for it to be KU. - I think they have a vendetta for KU - -they sporting a wood for us. - -I think we lose some wins - I think they taking our final 4 - no how - -no way we getting out of this smelling like arose. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I’ll wait to see the announcements. We know we were investigated and logic would seem to suggest at minimum we get some sort of NOA regardless if the findings are minor or serious in nature. I fully believe KU will fight and have solid ground to stand on. None of that matters with the NCAA though. The headlines won’t be pretty, again, if this is smeared the right way. I think the thing that will be of most interest is whether KT or Self is directly assumed of guilt in the NOA…
I think when things are all said and done , I think Coach Townsend may be let go at the end of the day

Well just got through listening to an interview that our local sports talk had with Dennis Dodd - which wrote this article - from the NCAA and Schools:
Question was asked to Dodd: - -Are you surprised with the way this NCAA High official came out and spoke of things the way he did?
Dodd’s answer was he was Stunned, - being said Dodd has been around along time - -seen and heard a lot of things - Saying that if he is saying that he was stunned - -he is thinking this is going to be worse then people think. - Talking about the NCAA really wants to make a statement with this.
Dodd was asked if he thought KU was going to be one of the six Schools that gets notice - -his response? - -no stunner here - -he says it would seem very reasonable that they would be. - -He says too though that he knows that KU will be vigerously defended by one of the very best that there is. - -Saying that what they may get charged with and what they end up with may be totally different.
The real Stunner here in this - - He said that what’s been going or being said that he had heard was that Duke WIL NOT be involved in any of this what so ever - - WTF ! ! ! ! - -GO FIGURE
-
Dodd is a shill.

I can’t really say that as all he was doing here was passing along information that he has been hearing
-
Say we do get something and we fight it. Who would be in charge of the ruling? A NCAA committee, a judge(s), or a 3rd party? Forgive the dumb question I’m just not sure how this all will work

Skip to 21 minutes in.
Or listen to the whole thing, that’s totally cool too, but that bit is relevant to the current NCAA scene. Grads and Yoda are real ones.

@jayballer73 We don’t know…so no point in any hyperconflagaration about what might woulda,coulda,shoulda happen. For myself, I’m just going to enjoy the amazing roster, and let the NCAA go pound sand.
