LAWRENCE (KSNT) – An investigation dating back to 2017 is finally coming to a conclusion.
KU men’s basketball was originally facing charges of five level one violations, including a lack of institutional control accusation.
On Tuesday, the Independent Accountability Resolution Process announced the infractions report with a ruling for KU’s case.
The findings included a downgrade in the severity of the five level one violations, instead judging this as a level two case, according to Sports Illustrated. The IARP is giving Kansas a three-year probation, with no effect on KU’s postseason eligibility.
Head coach Bill Self is being charged with a Level III violation. Assistant coach Kurtis Townsend had his charges reduced from Level I to a Level II and a Level III charge. Neither coach faces a show-cause order, according to Sports Illustrated.
