Kansas basketball finally gives up on its 'Victim Jayhawks' routine

Kansas basketball gave up on its “Victim Jayhawks” routine Wednesday when it announced a slew of self-imposed sanctions designed to appease the NCAA before the governing body hands down its own expected punishment for years of rule violations. Perhaps the NCAA now goes lightly.

Both head coach Bill Self and assistant Kurtis Townsend have been suspended for four games. Neither was allowed to recruit off campus for four months last summer, either.

Additionally, KU can offer three fewer scholarships, bring in four fewer recruits for visits and there are six-week bans on contacting any recruits or having them on campus in any way and things like that.
