Potential Outcome No. 3: Postseason ban

I’m going to be brief about this one because the likelihood of this going down is little to none. I doubt the IARP blasts Kansas THIS badly. Only Oklahoma State has been banned from postseason play as a result of the FBI probe, and the allegations against them are far less concerning than some other schools.

There will always be this thought in mind, even if it isn’t likely. Arizona might have gotten one had they not self-imposed it on themselves in 2020-21. That being said, a postseason ban is the least likely scenario of the five I put together — it’s only a potential outcome merely because it has happened once in the past.
