The NCAA originally charged Kansas with five Level I violations.
The University of Kansas men’s basketball team will have to vacate its 2018 Final Four but otherwise escaped serious penalty after a six-year NCAA investigation finally reached its conclusion Wednesday. The case initially began with the FBI’s case against college basketball, back in September 2017. The FBI accused KU of an alleged pay-for-play scheme involving Adidas consultant T.J. Gasnola and Adidas executive Jim Gatto funneling money to former Jayhawks Billy Preston and Silvio DeSousa.
The IRP argued Kansas’ actions were not “premeditated, deliberate or committed after substantial planning because Kansas lacked knowledge of the payments.” The program was placed on three years probation. The IRP also accepted Kansas’ and assistant coach Curtis Townsend, opting not to penalize either any further. The panel, however, deemed DeSousa ineligible for the games in which he appeared during the 2017-18 season. That includes a national semifinal game against , which KU lost, 95-79.
