Per NBC......
  The NCAA announced on Friday night that Kansas sophomore Silvio De Sousa has been ruled ineligible for the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons.
This likely ends his college career.
De Sousa’s guardian, Fenny Falmagne, received $2,500 from Christian Dawkins and agreed to accept another $20,000 from a former Adidas consultant, T.J. Gassnola. The second payment was to payback a booster from Maryland that had paid Falmagne $60,000 to get De Sousa to College Park.
“In my 30-plus years of coaching college basketball, I have never witnessed such a mean-spirited and vindictive punishment against a young man who did nothing wrong,” Bill Self said in a statement released by the university. “To take away his opportunity to play college basketball is shameful and a failure of the NCAA. Silvio is a tremendous young man who absolutely deserves to be on the court with his teammates. This process took way too long to address these issues. We will support Silvio as he considers his options.”
So does this mean Maryland and Kansas are both guilty of the scandal?

If you are interested in seeing a game where the coaches are mic’d up throughout the whole game and halftime then Butler/Seton Hall game on Fs1 is the game you should watch tomorrow at noon. They are doing the All-access game again. They did it last year with Providence/DePaul and it was awesome

Didn’t De Sousa play on last seasons Big 12 championship Final Four team? So naturally they’ll have to vacate that conference championship and Final Four... right?

Good question.  He played last year, but I think they held him out at some point in time.  Not sure.

HEY @ YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE

“When you take over a program, you've got to look at the big picture,” he said, “and the big picture is (recruiting) classes upon classes upon classes and development upon development.”

Straight from Archie’s mouth.
