Kansas basketball and coach Bill Self stared down a six-year NCAA investigation with five Level I violation charges, and proceeded to beat the brakes off the NCAA and its Independent Accountability Resolution Process (IARP) like it was some hapless March Madness 16-seed.
“A good day for Kansas basketball,” Self said Wednesday, and honestly, he should have popped a bottle of celebratory Champagne as he said it.
One part of the NCAA (enforcement) went to the mattresses to get KU and despite being armed with FBI and SDNY-generated evidence saw another part of the NCAA (IARP) scoff at the entire concept of the rulebook.
