Definitely no sympathy for KU or Self. But I do wonder if the FBI investigation with Adidas/KU is having an impact on this team. They are not as talented as in years past. Curious if they are more compliant in recruiting or this season is just an aberration. It seems other Big XII programs have caught up (or KU has fallen back) with them.

It may have hurt them with their recruiting but remember that they were the unquestioned number one team in the country last March. It will take more than a few games to make me think the league is catching them ... I read those same things about our football team early this season and thought it was premature, too.

Self looks worried, like he’s under a lot of stress. Could be three straight losses, the NCAA investigation, or both.

It's reportedly just the third three-game skid he's seen in his 18 years at KU.

It's reportedly just the third three-game skid he's seen in his 18 years at KU.

And per the Oklahoman, the third loss in each of these three instances happened at the LNC.

Let's just say I won't be breaking out any sad songs for the Beaker Nation. And that includes the misguided fools from the preppy part of northern Oklahoma County back in the mid-80's who jumped on their bandwagon.

KU is still miles ahead of anybody else in the conference. They used to be a full marathon ahead, though. Self won conference 14 straight years, and is on the verge of only winning one of the last three. I would happily trade places, but we're talking about a team that used to win conference championships in their sleep.

So apparently a judge for the Second Circuit Court of Appeals referenced a recorded call in which a KU assistant was caught on wiretap arranging a payment to a recruit. Apparently this call was not introduced as evidence at any of the criminal trials and has not previously been made public. Here's the quote:

"In the call, the coach admitted that he knew that paying for a recruit’s brother to visit the school violated the NCAA rules, yet he planned to ask 'Jimmy' for help in routing funds to the family through an amateur team, all in the hopes of getting the recruit to eventually commit to Kansas because 'it’s (his) job' to do so,"

In other words, this whole "no one at Kansas knew" excuse is and has always been complete and utter BS.

No sympathy for Self. No sympathy for the Beakers. If the NCAA is to ever be seen as a legitimate governing body, a program like KU would be competing with Baker University for walkons from now until about 2030. Of course, the NCAA is a farce of an organization and nothing of the sort will happen.
