“There can be no doubt the men’s basketball allegations are egregious, severe and are the kind that significantly undermine and threaten the NCAA Collegiate Model. The institution secured significant recruiting and competitive advantages by committing alleged Level I men’s basketball violations. The institution, in taking its defiant posture in the case, is indifferent to how its alleged violations may have adversely impacted other NCAA institutions who acted in compliance with NCAA legislation. Regarding the men’s basketball allegations, very few facts are in dispute."

NCAA on ku’s program under Self.

All of the coaches involved are still employed and in fact Self was given a lifetime contract to ensure he would be above NCAA penalizing. ku made it clear they would accept no punishment, did not feel rules applied to them, and had no intention of adhering to NCAA guidelines in the past present or future and the competitive advantage gained by blatant cheating is purposeful and deserved. Accordingly ku received no punishment for their historic volume of Level 1 violations.

Every member program that actually adheres to rules and governance should refuse to play ku and not normalize them as a legitimate program. Putting them on the schedule as if they are a legitimate opponent is a disservice to both current and past Tigers, and to our coaching staff that has to attempt to compete on a just and level playing field. That program is garbage and a total embarrassment to the college game. MU should not associate with it in any capacity
