Kansas officials meet with NCAA to prevent harsh penalties

http://www.sportsline.com/collegebasketbal...l/story/9599936

 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas officials met with the NCAA for about seven hours Sunday in an effort to head off any harsher penalties than those the Jayhawks have already imposed on themselves for rules infractions.

 

A delegation including football coach Mark Mangino, basketball coach Bill Self, athletic director Lew Perkins and chancellor Robert Hemenway met with the NCAA infractions committee in the Tremont Plaza Hotel in Baltimore, answering 11 charges of wrongdoing.

 

The school's only public comment was a brief statement by Hemenway praising the committee for providing a fair hearing and saying a decision by the NCAA was expected in five to seven weeks.

 

Shortly after Perkins succeeded Al Bohl as athletic director two years ago, Kansas began an internal probe of violations that allegedly occurred during 1997-2003. The school self-reported violations involving football and men's and women's basketball, then put itself on probation for two years and reduced scholarships in both football and women's basketball.

 

After conducting its own investigation, the NCAA added the potentially serious charge of lack of institutional control during that six-year period. Also worrisome to Kansas is the label "academic fraud" the NCAA has put on violations that occurred in the football program.

 

Potentially, the NCAA could order further scholarship reductions, recruiting restrictions and a ban on postseason appearances by the football and basketball team.

 

NCAA officials never comment about ongoing investigations.

 

"I don't think it would be productive to speculate on how the committee reacted to our presentation," Hemenway said. "Our focus now is that this chapter is over. We can now move forward confident that the changes we've made in the area of compliance will help prevent us from going through this again."

 

Hemenway said the university would not comment further on the NCAA investigation until the committee announces its decision in about six weeks.

Apparently in the summer of 03, some juco players were helped with their tests to get elligible to go to Kansas. They were using computers, and were being supervised by people that shouldn't have been supervising them. They could be banned from bowls, blocked from tv, and have scholarships taken away. Just heard it on 1620.

Allegations against KU

The Kansas City Star

Here are the 11 alleged violations that will be discussed when KU appears in front of the NCAA Committee on Infractions today in Baltimore.

 

•In August 2003, a graduate assistant football coach received a math exam from a prospective student-athlete’s test proctor and then gave the exam to the athlete to finish on his own without the presence of a proctor.

 

•In August 2003, a graduate assistant football coach assisted two prospective student-athletes in the completion of a geology exam by providing the athletes with the answers to the exam while they completed them in the dorm.

 

•In summer 2003, athletic-department staff members provided impermissible assistance to seven prospective football student-athletes who lived on campus to work out and complete online correspondence courses before their enrollment.

 

•In spring 2003, assistant football coach Tyrone Dixon provided clothing to recruit Monroe Weekley when Dixon visited Weekley at his home and after Weekley was enrolled at Kansas.

 

•In November 2003 and December 2004, graduate assistant football coaches had impermissible off-campus contact with recruits when they drove the prospects from KU’s campus to their homes after the recruits’ official visits.

 

•During 2003-05, KU alum Don Davis provided improper benefits to basketball player Darnell Jackson as well as Jackson’s family. The benefits began when Jackson was in high school and continued after his enrollment at KU.

 

•From 2003 to 2005, Davis provided improper benefits to Jayhawks basketball player J.R. Giddens, as well as Giddens’ family.

 

•From 1987-88 through 2003-04, at least three KU boosters provided cash and other gifts to graduating men’s basketball players. The cash gifts ranged from $25 to $400. The other gifts included clothes and lifetime memberships to KU’s alumni association.

 

•In 2002, assistant women’s basketball coach Tim Eatman provided impermissible transportation to a women’s basketball recruit when he drove her from her dormitory to an on-campus testing facility for the purpose of taking a standardized test.

 

•From 1997 to 2003, athletic-department staff members engaged in 26 secondary violations. Upon being detected, the violations weren’t immediately reported to the NCAA enforcement staff.

 

•From 1997 to 2003, Kansas failed to exert appropriate institutional control and monitoring in the administration of its athletic program. The athletic department failed to maintain an atmosphere for compliance, failed to report rules violations in a timely manner, failed to provide proper rules education and failed to monitor the activities of prospective student- athletes who lived on the institution’s campus.
