In past stops at Oral Roberts, Tulsa and Illinois, Kansas coach Bill Self says he didn’t face the number of eligibility issues that he has during 15 seasons in Lawrence.

The latest is Billy Preston, who is being held out of games while KU’s compliance department looks into the “financial picture” regarding his vehicle. Before that, Darnell Jackson, Josh Selby and Cliff Alexander all missed games because of impermissible benefits.

“I don’t think that I’ve ever had a situation where I’ve dealt with this (eligibility issues) like we have since I’ve been here,” Self said.
