The NCAA officially considers Kentucky the winningest program in men’s college basketball history again.
The Wildcats jumped back into the top spot thanks to a Wednesday ruling from the NCAA against Kansas. While the NCAA’s Independent Accountability Review Process didn’t levy harsh penalties on the Jayhawks and coach Bill Self after a yearslong investigation, it did force the Jayhawks to vacate 15 wins from the 2017-18 season.
That means Kentucky officially takes back the top spot atop the school wins list with 2,377 wins while Kansas drops to second with 2,370 wins. The NCAA has long used the process of erasing wins from official records as part of punishments for schools that commit violations.
