FILE - In this Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2017, file photo, the Kansas Jayhawks host the Baylor Bears during an NCAA college basketball game at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan. For coaches, lawyers and other leaders in college basketball, the approach of the upcoming 2019-2020 season has been nothing like business as usual. The storied Jayhawks program faces serious questions about whether it will remain eligible for the postseason come March 2020 in the wake of NCAA allegations of recruiting fraud that could sink both the program and its Hall of Fame coach, Bill Self.

FILE - In this March 21, 2019, file photo, Kansas head coach Bill Self reacts in the first half during a first round men's college basketball game against Northeastern in the NCAA Tournament in Salt Lake City. A person familiar with the situation says the University of Kansas received a notice of allegations from the NCAA on Monday, Sept. 23, 2019, that alleges significant violations within its storied men's basketball program. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither the NCAA nor the school had announced the notice, which was first reported by Yahoo Sports. That initial report, citing unnamed sources, said the notice included three Level 1 violations tied primarily to recruiting, lack of institutional control and a responsibility charge leveled against Hall of Fame coach Self.

FILE - In this Dec. 4, 2018, file photo, Kansas center Udoka Azubuike (35) drives to the basket past Wofford center Matthew Pegram, back, during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game in Lawrence, Kan. The University of Kansas and Adidas announced Wednesday, April 24, 2019, an extension of their contract through 2031, despite an FBI investigation centered on the footwear and apparel company that cast a negative light on the Jayhawks' athletic programs. The Jayhawks have worn Adidas gear since 2005. The original eight-year agreement was extended by six years through 2019, then another extension was put on hold last fall amid the investigation. The new deal is worth $14 million annually. (AP Photo/Orlin Wagner, File)

FILE - In this March 19, 2017, file photo, Louisville coach Rick Pitino walks off the court after the team's 73-69 loss to Michigan in a second-round game in the men's NCAA college basketball tournament in Indianapolis. A woman who had sex with coach Pitino at a restaurant was later jailed for trying to blackmail the coach to keep the tryst secret. A former escort wrote a book describing parties for recruits that included prostitutes; the team had its 2013 national title vacated because of that. And yet, Pitino didn’t lose his job until the FBI investigation found that Louisville had paid a recruit’s family $100,000--an allegation that Pitino said he was “shocked” to hear. He denies any wrongdoing. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson, File)
