Kansas Jayhawks

[NYG21254246]

Travis Goff from Northwestern is their new athletic director. Goff is from Kansas & a Kansas grad.

Like I said in another thread, I think Bill Self gets fired by the end of the month. https://www.espn.com/college-sports...inalizing-deal-kansas-jayhawks-ad-source-says

Bill Self, Kansas Avoid Serious Penalties in NCAA Infractions Case​

The Independent Resolution Panel gave the Jayhawks a three-year probation.

The long-awaited Kansas men’s basketball infractions case ruling is in, and the Jayhawks are walking away unscathed.

In a decision announced Wednesday, the NCAA’s Independent Accountability Review Process (IARP) led to a downgrade in the severity of the five Level I allegations against the program, ultimately judging this a Level II case. The Independent Resolution Panel gave Kansas a three-year probation, with no effect on the program’s postseason status. Head coach Bill Self, who was initially charged with a Level I violation and was suspended for four games last season, was instead charged with a Level III violation and no additional penalties. Assistant coach Kurtis Townsend, who was suspended four games last year as well, also had his charges reduced from Level I to a Level II and a Level III violation, with no additional penalties. Neither coach faces a show-cause order, which could have been applicable for Level I violations.

In explaining the ruling, the report states: “The hearing panel was intentional in not prescribing penalties that would have a negative impact on current student-athletes. The hearing panel also applied significant weight to Kansas’ self-imposed penalties, especially the men’s basketball recruiting restrictions for the 2022-23 academic year.”

The self-imposed basketball penalties were as follows:

• A financial penalty fine in the amount of $5,000, plus 1% of its average men’s basketball budget based on the average of the men’s basketball program’s previous three total budgets.
• Reduction in men’s basketball scholarships by a total of three over the course of the 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26 academic years.
• Reduction in the total official visits permitted in men’s basketball by a total of four over the 2022-23 and 2023-24 academic years, with the option of reducing visits by any combination (e.g., four in one year, or three in one year and one in one year).
• A six-week ban on recruiting communications with all men’s basketball prospective student-athletes during the 2022-23 academic year.
• A six-week ban on unofficial visits by men’s basketball prospective student-athletes during the 2022-23 academic year.
• A 14-day reduction in the number of recruiting person days during the 2022-23 academic year.
• The men’s basketball staff was prohibited from hosting any official visits by men’s basketball prospective student-athletes (including families, guardians and/or representatives) during the 2022 Late Night event.

The ruling closes multiple chapters in a long-running saga. It is the final infractions case stemming from the 2017 federal investigation of corruption in college basketball, which resulted in major investigations of no fewer than eight programs. It also is the final act by the IARP itself, which was created in response to that corruption scandal but is now being shuttered after heavy criticism for its cost and inefficiency.

Kansas coach Bill Self issues statement after fans send racist and threatening messages to star Zeke Mayo​

KU suffered its third loss at home Saturday, tying for the most in a season under Self​

Kansas guard Zeke Mayo was the subject of threatening and racist messages on social media after the team's 78-73 home loss Saturday to No. 10 Texas Tech, prompting coach Bill Self to issue a late night statement requesting any criticism about the team be directed instead at him.

Mayo posted a sample of the messages on social media in screenshots in which fans called him a racial slur, made veiled threats and incited self-harm, among other things. He posted a few of the messages and also issued an apology for not playing better.

Here's what Self said in a lengthy statement posted just after midnight ET:

The game today was a very good college basketball game. We played a very good team and we got beat. We had some individuals have exceptional individual games, and we had some maybe not play up to the standard they've set for themselves. But, everyone on our team, coaches included, myself, more than anyone, had opportunities to impact the game. A play here or there, that could have been the difference in the game over the course of 40 minutes. Texas Tech made more plays than we did.
We competed. We tried. We came up short and I'm proud of their efforts and I'm also proud of their preparation to be ready for the game. We haven't had the overall year that we had hoped for ourselves, nor the year that many other people have expected, but it hasn't been from a lack of caring. I can do a lot of things better. We all could do a lot of things better. But I'll roll with these guys every day and be proud of it. Any criticism about the team should be directed at me. I'm the head coach.
I'm looking forward to seeing how we bounce back against a terrific Houston team on Monday. Then, after that game, I'll look forward to see how we respond to a terrific Arizona team on Saturday. This is the most important time of the season, and this is the time where we need to be better, but we also need to be focused on basketball and not things being said outside of basketball that have absolutely zero merit.

Mayo, KU's second-leading scorer on the season, scored just five points on 1 of 7 shooting in the loss to Texas Tech, the team's third home loss on the season. It was the third single-digit scoring effort in the last four outings for Mayo.
