[QUOTE="Ransom Stoddard, post: 1269400, member: 10336"] KU hasn't been put on probation for a [B]program[/B] violation since 1988--the Larry Brown years. The violation--Brown paid for a plane ticket home for a recruit who had a family emergency--and disclosed the donation to the NCAA. The other probation in 06 (before the NC in 08, btw) wasn't program related, it was boosters, and KU self-reported when they discovered it. Not very indicative of a corrupt program. And they managed to continue to win even with reduced scholarships.... This isn't "busted for cheating over and over" in my book. Is there something specific that can be verified that you want to bring up, or just message board rumors from fanbases that are jealous of KU's ability to get recruits and then win with them? Again, I'm not saying they're squeaky clean, because almost no program is, but there's no evidence I'm aware of that suggests a systemic corruption of the KU basketball program. There is certainly evidence of a handful of boosters that hand out envelopes at the end of the season, but that's not the program itself, and it happens a whole lot of places, included the hallowed halls of UIUC.
