I suspect Coach Self is pretty hurt that his Adidas BFF went behind his back and did this stuff.

There's no way Coach Self could have picked up on the sudden change in interest in KU by these guys after the alleged payouts from Adidas.   I'm sure the KU stuff were all high fiving and fist pumping at their sudden good fortune, and now to a person they're likely really let down.

Hell no, it wasn't Adidas money that brought those 5 star recruits to Lawrence, it was, in order:
1. The best college sports atmosphere in the entire country.
2. Massa Seff's incomparable magnetic personality
3. Harvard of the Plains

My thoughts exactly.  If oscar had followed Bill's lead the cats might have some banners to take down.

Anyone think that these payments were written in to KU's Adidas contract? Like 2% of the money given actually had an asterisk by it saying "2% to be retained by Adidas for "distribution and advertising" purposes decided by Adidas at a later date"... like KU getting a guarantee from Adidas that they will funnel money to players to keep them coming there?
Yes.  THIS is how it has to work.  No way are players worth $100k to Adidas as potential stars.  They're worth far more than that to these basketball programs and universities, though.

I would be very surprised if it's in the contract even implicitly.  Just factored into the deal, I'd think.

This makes the most sense to me.

Although I’m also sure Adidas sees a lot of value in developing relationships with potential future clients. You think major advertising companies don’t have ridiculously high budgets for client development? I’m sure any apparel company would throw down $10k on the spot if they could just get a single one on one dinner with an NBA star. Obviously this is more speculative, but the relationship can be valuable even if the guy doesn’t turn into a star himself.

My squawk brother springs into action every winter to tell me how good his hawks look, this has been going on for 25 years.  He is really a very casual fan that likes to troll me, so casual that I’m not sure that he is aware that what I have been telling him for years has been publicly exposed.  We talk on the phone several times a week but the topic hasn’t come up yet.  I don’t know how to break this to him honestly.  How should I handle this?

Take him to a professional wrestling match.  Explain how the promoter, wrestlers, and officials work together to get over on the rubes.

Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

What victims get penalties? KU was defrauded. Not participating. Defrauded.

This article ponders Sousa being ruled ineligible.
I wonder will KU have to forfeit games he played in.  Like NCAA semifinal.
