Tarkanian said “The NCAA was so mad at Kentucky they gave Cleveland State two more years of probation.” What's that mean to you? Judging a program by the number or severity of punishments is pretty silly. We all know there's absolutely no consistency or fairness applied by the NCAA. IARP, who knows.
I don't know what point you're making about the Big 12. Are you saying that winning a lot of Big 12 titles should translate to winning the national title every other year?
KU fans have bitched plenty about Self's early tourney losses. But it's like people like you only pay attention to KU. Calipari just lost to a 15 seed. K lost to a 15 seed and a 14. Izzo lost to a 15 a few years ago. Roy used to bow out early all the time. Jay Wright used to lose in the 2nd round every year as a 1. I mean....who are we comparing Self to?

We are valuing Self regular season titles to his Natty titles.
I mean if the Big 12 is the best basketball league in the country and KU won it 10 years in a row plus many reg season titles before that then yes KU has sucked more than its fair share (statistically) in the tourney for many years. Compare KU in basketball to Alabama in Football over time. What would be the narrative if Alabama hadn’t won more Natty titles after dominating the SEC?
