KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The University of Kansas has informed the NCAA’s independent review panel that it is self-imposing sanctions against the Jayhawks’ men’s basketball program in response to its ongoing basketball infractions case, which originated in 2017.

According to KU, the self-imposed sanctions include a four-game suspension for head coach Bill Self and assistant coach Kurtis Townsend, to be served during the first four regular-season games of the upcoming season.

The NCAA is investigating KU for five alleged Level One violations in the program. The case, which involves no current players, started in September 2017, when the FBI arrested 10 individuals in a widespread scheme to “defraud” college basketball.
