Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self is considering legal action against the NCAA amid the organization's ongoing infractions investigation against him and the Jayhawks program, per ESPN's Mark Schlabach.
"Without limiting Mr. Self's claims, he is considering bringing legal action against the NCAA and NCAA officers, employees and representatives for negligence, breach of contract, defamation, fraud, tortious interference with contract and tortious interference with prospective contract," Scott Tompsett, Self's attorney, wrote to NCAA vice president of legal affairs and general counsel Scott Bearby on June 12.
The NCAA charged the Jayhawks with five Level I violations (the most severe) and said the program committed "egregious" and "severe" violations that "significantly undermine and threaten the NCAA Collegiate Model," per Schlabach.
