Kansas pulling a fast one??

[Noahtogo24]

Kansas will admit an NCAA violation and then ask for Silvio De Sousa to be reinstated, a report says

[lurkeraspect84]

This could backfire.

 

[sgrooms]

This could backfire.

Right? Why would they reinstate him?

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Right? Why would they reinstate him?

Short-sightedness.

 

[RipThru]

Didn’t he play last year?

 

[ravenman10]

You think they would report this if they were worried about sanctions or vacating wins? I don’t. Self is way smarter than that.

They’ve obviously been in contact with the ncaa and found that there is no proof of anything other than the $2,500 that was testified about.

Silvio will be reinstated very soon and that changes Kansas completely

This seems like the most likely scenario. Otherwise Kansas would just keep him out and deny deny deny.

Yeah and that means Duke gets a final four banner. ****ing cheaters.

 

[DallasJayhawk]

EIther way THIS WILL BE A PR NIGHTMARE...

@lurkeraspect84 is correct in it showing shortsightedness and there should be some very telling clues about Self's coaching future coming out of the debacle also, the smart play is to play the we are trying our hardest card to the media/fans, let the kid sit and see how it comes out over the summer.

also in a new twist


Nope he still missed it nm...

Well so far,we see that a few schools are un-touchable, KU, Duke and UNC, while the NCAA took away a BASKETBALL celebrating his 500th win. NCAA penalizes a female golfer for using a waterhose to wash her car. Many more examples, I just dont feel like digging them all up again.

Eh, this sounds like a similar situation to what happened with the Rush brothers in the early 2000s. Kansas will try to establish that 1) DeSousa accepted a small amount of money, 2) Kansas did not and should not have known, 3) DeSousa was ineligible for X amount of games, 4) after being ineligible for X amount of games, DeSousa should be eligible, and 5) Kansas plays him while he's eligible, thus avoiding sanctions for KU. It's worth a shot if the NCAA will sign off ahead of time.

There's some precedence for a case involving a player accepting some form of payment before college and without the school's knowledge. Sometimes this works (Rush brothers, many others), sometimes it doesn't (Kanter, many others), and sometimes the NCAA goes against precedent and ends up with a new interpretation that just so happens to avoid vacating wins for one of its signature programs (Maggette). So who knows?

Haters in 2001: Duke, UCLA and Missouri got away with not being punished!

Haters in 2019: Well, let’s do what Duke, UCLA and Missouri did in 2001!

The first paragraph if correct. I hope the same for the second one.

This whole thing is starting to feel a bit like a quick bandaid until something atomic drops.

Its a PR nightmare waiting to happen either way, quotes from sanctimonious coaches from across the country, moral high ground beat writers addicted to clicks will hump this story for the rest of the year, KU and its players will take much more abuse that normal and the coaching staff will be crucified.

Cant see Self at KU more than 2-3 more years tops if this going to happen.

Question is, why does Self keep putting himself in this type of situation, it's been going on for several years.

The issue is that unfortunately top flight talent seems to come with baggage. We aren’t the sexy recruiting school like duke and Kentucky (although that seems to be cyclic in nature) so if you want to take the top tier guys, you have to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze. We got a final four last year with questionable recruits Preston (bust) and DeSousa...so the juice was worth it last year. Most years it’s not (Alexander, Diablo, Mclemore)

 

[Big_Blue79]

Bahahahahahahahahahaahahaha

Just for you, Q.

Unfortunately the “squeeze” hasn’t been impacting our team. None of the players referenced played for us in the tournament except Mclemore and it didn’t lead to a championship.

Check out on twitter and ESPN the letter to the NCAA from Silvio's attorney.

The water hose incident was stupid. Not the same as Cal & his 500th win.
Cal & UK KNEW those wins were stripped from his record & chose to ignore it.

It has definitely been a trend. Lots of eligibility issues.

Ummmm. For good players I suppose.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

I'd be disappointed if UK didn't do the same. Win at all cost.
