The violations case against Kansas stems from a federal probe in 2017 that led to the conviction of shoe company executives, a middleman who worked with them and several assistant coaches.
FILE-Kansas head coach Bill Self speaks during a press conference before the 2022 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Final Four at Caesars Superdome on March 31, 2022 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Kansas suspended Hall of Fame coach Bill Self and top assistant Kurtis Townsend for the first four games of the season Wednesday, along with imposing several recruiting restrictions, as part of the fallout from a lengthy FBI investigation into college basketball corruption.
There were no official visitors this year for Late Night at the Phog, the annual celebration to kick off the season. Auburn received four years of probation through a traditional NCAA infractions process for a similar case, but Kansas joined other schools in appealing its case to an Independent Accountability Review Panel, which was among the proposals made by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in 2018 to reform the sport.
The contract includes a clause that states the school cannot fire Self for cause "due to any current infractions matter that involves conduct that occurred on or prior to" the signing of the deal. And while he would have to forfeit half of his base salary and professional services pay while serving any Big 12 or NCAA suspension, it's unclear whether that includes any self-imposed suspensions such as the one handed down Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the days of postseason bans and crippling scholarship reductions as punishments appear to be ending.
