This is a rehash of what we already know and they link the KC Star article, but if you haven't seen or read the quotes/text messages from Self to Gassnola they are fairly damning. Here is the part worth reading.
Gatto was accused of working with Gassnola to facilitate $90,000 from Adidas to former Jayhawks recruit Billy Preston's mother and agreeing to pay $20,000 to Fenny Falmagne, De Sousa's guardian, to help him "get out from under" a pay-for-play scheme to attend Maryland, which is sponsored by Under Armour.
On Sept. 19, 2017, three days before Kansas announced a 14-year, $196 million contract extension with Adidas, Gassnola texted Self and thanked him for helping the sponsorship deal get done.
Self responded: "I'm happy with Adidas. Just got to get a couple real guys."
Gassnola replied: "In my mind, it's KU, bill self. Everyone else fall into line. Too [expletive] bad. That's what's right for Adidas basketball. And I know I am RIGHT. The more you win, have lottery pics and you happy. That's how it should work in my mind."
Self responded: "That's how ur works. At UNC and Duke." Gassnola replied at Kentucky as well.
"I promise you I got this," Gassnola wrote. "I have never let you down. Except Dyondre lol. We will get it right."
