NCAA issues harsh ruling on Silvio De Sousa

Kansas won’t get Silvio De Sousa back anytime soon, if ever.

On Friday, the NCAA announced that De Sousa must sit out the rest of this season and all of the 2019-20 season. That means the earliest he could return is the beginning of the 2020-21 season.

The issue comes from ADIDAS consultant T.J. Gassnola, who testified that he personally gave $2,500 to the guardian of De Sousa. While Kansas has denied any knowledge of wrongdoing by their staff or De Sousa, they have held him out of competition while his eligibility is in question.
