Kansas avoids major penalties

We finally have a ruling on the Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball program.

On Wednesday, the NCAA IARP announced the long-awaited ‘punishment’ for the Jayhawks for their recruiting scandal.

To no surprise, there wasn’t much of a punishment delivered, as there’s no postseason ban, no vacated wins, and no added penalties to head coach Bill Self or assistant coach Kurtis Townsend.

Kansas was put on three years of probation, but that was it, according to Pat Forde. So the Jayhawks will maintain the all-time wins lead over Kentucky.

Kansas had already imposed a four-game suspension for both Self and Townsend at the start of the 2022-23 season.
