The Jayhawks received a notice of allegations in September 2019 and are charged with five Level I rules violations, including lack of institutional control.
Self is charged with head-coach responsibility violations. The case will be adjudicated through the IARP process.
The NCAA enforcement staff described the Kansas violations as "egregious, severe and are the kind that significantly undermine and threaten the NCAA Collegiate Model."
Kansas officials, along with Self and basketball assistant Kurtis Townsend, are disputing each of the five Level I violations regarding the men's basketball program, as well as each of the nine aggravating factors cited by the NCAA.
"At the risk of making excuses -- I don't want to do that-- there have just been some challenges in these cases," Jonathan Duncan, the NCAA's vice president of enforcement, told ESPN. "But there's also challenges in every case, so one broad answer is that in all infractions cases, these and all others, there are layers of procedural safeguards legislated into the infractions process for the benefit of schools and involved individuals who find themselves in a case.
"And while much of the association wants swift justice when it's somebody else, when it's you or it's your school, we find that those involved institutions and individuals like to avail themselves of all the protections built into the process."
"We wanted to cooperate with the federal authorities, and by cooperating I don't mean work along with, I mean stand down and let their process work out and so we were limited to what we could do," he said. "We chose to not interfere and we finally got the green light to begin investigations in earnest in May 2019."
"The independent investigators and advocates can go back and reinvestigate, conduct additional investigation with the same toolkit that we've got, and they are finding the same things that we're finding, which is there are limitations to that toolkit and restrictions on who will talk to us and the timeliness of those who will talk to us," Duncan said. "So it is a challenge, it does take them as long, or longer than it took us."
