Watched John Cohen on and interview on ITAT and he referred to operating at "Autonomy 5" level. Is that some new buzz word or is that a politically correct way to say "Power 5"?

maybe, he is probably privy to info about the P5 schools breaking off from the NCAA. But I believe the NCAA in recent years has given the P5 schools more say in how they operate.

After covid and NIL, and pandering to woke scum, and not punishing Kansas after jabbing Ok St and Auburn, and letting Georgia and Bama (both sports) get away with murder, unapologetic self-governance was the only way.

Seems a bit contradictory to his statements about wanting NIL guidance from the NCAA.

Precisely. “Autonomy 5” sounds like an orchestrated and purposeful use of harbinger language. Wondering if it has found its way into the vernacular of other AD’s. Seems like the hook is being set to form a new governing body and leave the NCAA to govern the G5 and below. You can hear his frustration with them as merely a feckless bureaucratic impediment rather than being part of any solution.

Kansas was punished

Self had to sit some games this year like Bruce did last year.

And this:
quote:

The absence of Self and Townsend from all off-campus recruiting-related activities from April through July 2022.

quote:

The reduction of four official visits during this academic year and in 2023-24.

quote:

The reduction of three total scholarships in men’s basketball, to be spread out over the next three years.

quote:

A six-week ban on recruiting communications, a six-week ban on unofficial visits and a thirteen-day reduction in the number of permissible recruiting days during the 2022-23 calendar year.

quote:

No official visits for 2022 Late Night in the Phog, which occurred in October.

They won a title they shouldn't even have been eligible for. They skated.
