Kansas is becoming the Rutgers of the midwest. It will only get worse for them, when the NCAA releases their investigation into Bill Self.
I believe the New Jersey taxpayers are STILL on the hook for the buyouts of Chris Ash, Kyle Flood, two former AD's, and their former men's basketball coach.

3 potential candidates with rising stock since KU football’s last coaching search
The University of Kansas football program is in the market for a new head coach so often — the position currently is vacant for the fifth time since Mark Mangino was forced out in 2009 — that some of the potential candidates for the job this time around might even seem like retreads from 2018 or 2014 at this point.
But there are some intriguing potential candidates with college head coaching experience whose stock has risen in the two-plus years since KU brought in Les Miles in its latest rebuild attempt.
Here are three current head coaches who have emerged as potential viable options for KU (once it hires a new athletic director) by winning at Group of Five FBS programs.
Jay Norvell, Nevada
Why he makes sense for KU: Norvell, 57, has seen it all in football. After playing defensive back at Iowa in the early 1980s, he first got into coaching as an assistant, and worked at Wisconsin and Iowa State before becoming an NFL assistant with the Colts and Raiders.
Norvell returned to the college game in 2004 at Nebraska, as an offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. After a stop at UCLA as O.C., he coached in the Big 12 at Oklahoma from 2008-2014, then spent one year on the staff at Texas and one year at Arizona State, before taking over at Nevada.
Bill Clark, UAB
Why he makes sense for KU: The man knows rebuilds. UAB went nine consecutive seasons with a losing record before Clark arrived in 2014 — just in time to see the program temporarily shut down following his first year in charge.
By 2018, Clark was racking up awards, being named the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year, as well as the national coach of the year by both CBS Sports and Sporting News. And the Blazers have finished .500 or better every year under Clark’s watch.
Sean Lewis, Kent State
Why he makes sense for KU: The MAC long has been known for catapulting its head coaches to bigger and better jobs, making it a good place to go mining for gems.
A former co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Syracuse, and tight end and QB during his playing days at Wisconsin, Lewis is no stranger to Power Five football, either.

Don't forget Fat Charlie. Damn, those buffet stocks took a nose dive after those two.
