Bill Self's Lifetime Contract Makes Clear Where Kansas's Priorities Lie

That was the loud, clear, unmistakable message from Kansas Friday. We like to win, we don’t care how, we don’t care what NCAA sanctions may come, we don’t care about anything but continuing to win. Thus, Bill Self is Coach For Life.

Rock, Chalk, Scofflawhawk!

In the throes of an infractions process that has resulted in major allegations from NCAA Enforcement, which could lead to huge penalties, Kansas has up and given Self—who is personally charged with a Level I violation—a lifetime contract. It’s a rolling five-year deal that specifically states he cannot be fired for cause due to NCAA sanctions.
