You mean education does not come first!! WOW - I never would have guessed!!!

1956

One of the mildest punishments for a major violation on record occurred May 1, 1956, when KU was given probation stemming from an allegation of aid offered by a KU booster until a player became eligible for a scholarship. Kansas coach Phog Allen also admitted to providing the same player a ride from Kansas City to Lawrence to take an entrance exam, also an NCAA violation.

In 1960, the NCAA decided KU boosters were guilty of financing a car for Chamberlain and banned the Jayhawks from the 1961 and 1962 NCAA tournaments.

Perhaps the most devastating department-wide punishments were passed out Aug. 17, 1972, when football, men???s basketball and track and field all were given postseason bans simultaneously.



1988 KU wins NCAA BB championship
It was Sept. 30, 1988, and a cast of current and former KU officials ??? Gene Budig, Bob Frederick, Larry Brown, Ed Manning, Alvin Gentry, Del Brinkman ??? were inside trying to convince the NCAA that KU should be let off lightly. They were debating violations committed in the men???s basketball program under Brown, including allegations of improper financial assistance to a Jayhawk recruit.

Once cheaters always cheaters, the Cheating Jayhawks!!

Yeah, and I can find some A&M scandals if I went to google as well, but I wouldn't waste my time on Tx A&M...ha ha

Have fun rebuilding your football and basketball programs.

Rock Chalk

is that Jabba the Hut? Go Buffs!

Yeah, I think they had to give them up to increase the $$ in their coaches training table, looks like the head coach is up to about a turkey and a half everyday now. Actually I had no idea Kansas played football? Do they?

Yeah, CNNSI picks bad pictures sometimes to accompany stories. This is a fine example. Poor Man-Genius. Laugh it up boys, but KU will be a top 15 club again this year.

Riddy, what are you smokin'?? KU football is like leap year, it only comes around once every four years!

Sexton, I'm only passing along info. Also, I'm proud to be drug free!!!

I also enjoyed localboy54's comment- good one. my bet is on Mangino

Yeah ok Kansas is reall clean, the same team that paid to get into the Orange Bowl... If you know your gonna be giving up scholarships, why not just say it ahead of time so you just look like a fat idiot? Instead you present yourself like a lying idiot who just so happens to also be the stunt double for the girl in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Magino is fat n stupid

Riddy, I wouldn't talk. The Kansas football team is a joke, and their basketball team has become more famous for embarrassing upsets (see Bucknell, Bradley) than deep tournament runs. Next year, expect the Jayhawks to show their true colors when they have to play teams like T.Tech, Texas, and Oklahoma.

ku and ksu have no higher academic standards than anyone else

actually go and read the SI article on the schools of the final 4 right now in B-ball...of the 4 #1 seeds only UNC graduates in the 80% percentile, everyone else is wayyyyy lower than that...then of course Duke and some of the PAC10 teams are up there too...

lmfao @ the "EAT A SALAD" comment. But would Mangino be who he is if he didn't look like he does?
