The long-awaited infractions report involving Kansas men’s basketball is expected to be delivered Wednesday, sources tell Sports Illustrated.
The ruling, which comes from a hearing panel appointed by the NCAA as part of its Independent Accountability Resolution Process (IARP), will close multiple chapters in a long-running saga. It is the final infractions case stemming from the 2017 federal investigation of corruption in college basketball, which resulted in major investigations of no fewer than eight programs. It also is the final act by the IARP itself, which was created in response to that corruption scandal but is now being shuttered after heavy criticism for its cost and inefficiency.
The Kansas case is arguably the most high-profile of all investigations that came out of that FBI probe. The school was charged with five Level I violations, the most severe breaches of NCAA bylaws, including a lack of institutional control charge, and an allegation that Bill Self failed his head-coach responsibility requirements for compliance within his program.
