A few years ago, the FBI brought forth evidence that several coaches in the college sports landscape were acting inappropriately…re-directing scholarships, paying players, recruiting high schoolers with lucrative offers.
Last I heard, the cases stalled, so there's not much happening in the legal sense.
One of the coaches implicated was Bill Self, the Kansas coach. At the time he was labeled a cheater. The NCAA pushed hard for him to be dismissed from his job.
But Kansas saw him as a great hero. He was winning games and making money for the school. They wouldn't budge.
In fact, Kansas "doubled down" and signed him to a lifetime contract. Thumbing their nose at the ncaa and the fbi.
And here is Kansas basketball playing for a national championship. With a cheating coach.
No punishment. And I have little doubt he's still doing whatever it was he was doing.
It's so absurd.
Money rules all.
