Let's take a moment to appreciate the the effort it takes to be this damn reeruned over years and years.

Very, very damning. IMO Bill Self has coached his final game of his career. He will receive at least a 5-year "show-cause" penalty. KU BB gets at least a 2-year tourney ban.

Here's mine list:

Self (the Spurs are old, old, old and so is Coach Pop - too old to take on the MAJOR rebuilding job that will need to occur in SA.)0

I'm thinking Pop has already told Buford (Self's roommate at OSU) that the upcoming season will be his last. I only look for Self to go there and the only way he'll stay is if it looks to be too much of a rebuilding job (SA is a very old team).

If Self goes to the NBA, it will be to coach one team, the San Antonia Spurs, where his boss would be his college best-friend and roommate R.C. Buford.

Every year after the Spurs are eliminated I nervously wait to see if Coach Popovich is retiring. That roster is getting old & Popovich is 60+, I don't see him staying through a major rebuilding effort the team is going to have to undergo in a couple of years.

1) The stage in life Self's kids are at - Self's daughter was a HS senior in the fall of 2008 and his son will enter college the fall. (How mahy dads want their sons to go their alma mater, especially if it was where you met your wife?)

2) Bill Self may be a realist - this conference re-alignment is not done by a long-shot and at the end of the day do you really expect KU to still be in the BCS.

I'm not anticipating to make any career moves now, but a year from now when his daughter is getting out of high school if the rumors about Cindy are true the I expect Coach Self to move on.

JUST IN: Penalties against Kansas in its IARP case.

Its 2018 Final Four banner will be coming down and all 2017-18 wins will be vacated because Silvio De Sousa played while ineligible. pic.twitter.com/ml9VaHWj7c

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

with kryzalphabet now gone, roy williams gone, etc... the coaching elites are few and far between in the Basketball realm. From an industry standpoint, you cannot topple one of the few dynasty organizations still standing without suffering major financial consequences. Maybe they re-evaluated the landscape of the college board, the NIL, and decided that cutting their losses and pulling a Richard Nixon/Vietnam routine was the best course of action. "This is going no where. This is looking very bad for everyone. Everyone is getting pissed because there is no end in sight with regards to the litigation. It's costing too much money to prosecute something that we've since legalized. Let's just reduce the charges and claim victory."

They should leave the 2018 FF banner up and also add the 2020 title banner at the same time.

Amazing.

[Bearcat]

I don't exactly want to remember being at the 2018 Final Four, so this helps.

I'll always remember beating Duke though and that dick Grayson Allen's shot bouncing off the rim 18 times and out.... they can't take that away from us!

[sedated]

How did they come up with the total of 31 games to vacate?

Morons too lame to check and see how many wins the kid played in, which is 15.

Still total BS since the NCAA cleared him to play.

This would be so ****ing great

[sedated]

it took Wikipedia less than 10 minutes to update KU's total wins from 2385 to 2354 (2nd place)

That's just some rando updating, and it's wrong, we only lose 15 wins, not 31.

No doubt a UK fan getting ahead of themselves. KU will be back officially ahead of them at least within 2 seasons.

[GabyKeepsMeWarm]

Heard there was also three years of probation tacked on, but no postseason ban. What exactly does that mean? Does Bill have to go see a therapist or something every week?
