Kansas basketball coach Bill Self has been suspended indefinitely as the NCAA investigates potential recruiting violations and impermissible benefits provided to players. The university announced the suspension on Monday, stating that assistant coach Norm Roberts will serve as acting head coach during Self's absence. The suspension comes amid ongoing scrutiny of the program's compliance practices, though no specific allegations have been publicly detailed. The university emphasized its commitment to NCAA rules and cooperation with the investigation, which is examining whether the program adhered to recruiting and financial regulations. Self, who has led Kansas to multiple NCAA Tournament appearances and a national championship, expressed confidence in the program's integrity and pledged to fully cooperate with authorities.
