KU signs Bill Self to a lifetime contract

So what happens if the NCAA comes down with a show-cause penalty for Self? Kansas just pays him not to coach?
What is of more interest to the recruit.
Toupee' Bill or $$$ and unlimited us of a nice car (they wouldn't give them the car because, well, that wouldn't be ethical).
It would be hard for him to find a school with as low of ethical standards as KU. KU not only tolerates his cheating they enable and encourage it. Just needs to find a new way to pay players now that the Adidas connection is being watched.
Of course he doesn’t. Where else is he going to be able to cheat like he does at KU?
Yup. Again, his agent is a wizard.
Every other major program in the sport.
KU fans: KU doesn't pay recruits!
FBI: We found evidence during our investigation that KU paid their recruits.
KU fans: .......EVERY team pays recruits!
It really speaks volumes when a contract has a clause that addresses the handling of NCAA violations. Makes me wonder if Self or KU wanted that clause knowing that there was trouble ahead. It would be interesting to know how many other basketball or football coaching contracts contain the NCAA violation clause, or if this is unique to KU?
Some do, some don't. The response below you is perfect as you know that is exactly how you are and have been about all of this.
I disagree. There’s no reason to write all of that stuff into the contract unless you’re pretty confident that the feces is going to hit the fan at some point.
You are just as sleazy as Self.
The “real guys” who have come to Kansas to play for Self include Billy Preston, whose family received at least $70,000 from Gassnola; Silvio De Sousa, whose legal guardian was cashing in to a lesser degree via Gassnola; Cliff Alexander, who was declared ineligible in 2015 after his family took money from a financial adviser; Josh Jackson, whose mother was paid $2,700 in 2015–16 by aspiring agent Christian Dawkins, per Dawkins’s expense reports filed to ASM Sports agency.
Of course, Kansas’s history of recruiting “real guys” also predates Self. The NCAA’s Notice of Allegations cites six other major infractions cases involving the school between 1957–2006, most of them tied to basketball. Fact is, Kansas has been amazingly successful at getting talented players from places like New York, California, Philadelphia and Detroit to come to the little slice of prairie heaven that is Lawrence. Dating back to the days of Wilt Chamberlain in the 1950s, Kansas seemed to have a knack for finding city kids who just like looking at waving wheat fields. So in that sense, Bill Self is merely keeping alive a longstanding tradition. SI

For the most part, schools don't pay recruits. The shoe companies do. Nike more than Adidas.
No, I just see schools paying recruits and shoe companies paying recruits as 2 different things. Because they are. The majority of people are OK with players getting money from third parties. People who whine here about Adidas paying players to go to an Adidas school show up in other threads defending a players right to be paid market value. It's hilarious.
