NCAA: Sampson misled IU about calls

Indiana University men's basketball coach Kelvin Sampson provided "false or misleading information" to the school and NCAA investigators, according to a list of five "major" violations the NCAA is alleging ...

Game, Set, Match.

[Hep]

Play 13 Sampson!

[NRA Ray]

first!?!

[iusedtobeaniufan]

Down you go Sampson. Shame on you IU for endorsing a liar and cheater.

[todd]

So in other words, IU is screwed.

[Show me the money]

Bye, bye Sampson.

And anyone who thinks IU would bring back Bobby Knight, or that he'd even come back, is living a dream.

[It wasnt me]

If your going to cheat at least have the best team in Indiana. Its sad he has brought this to an university with a high reputation when it comes to recruting violations.

[The Weatherman]

Ouch.

[todd]

Okay, Statawax.
Purdue fan, I presume?

[Varl]

Good bye, Coach Sampson

[HUH]

My family has been watching and supporting IU for years, back into the 60's. THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!
IU....please, please, please, let him go NOW!!! This is embarassing and shows what you have hired. Educators NEED to have the higher moral ground, Sampson has lost his, if not completely, completely is just around the corner.

[IUALUM]

Indiana Universities board of trustees wrote me about my concerns at the time of coach Sampson's hiring and told me that he would be held to a high ethical standard. So, does the board of trustees lie like coach Sampson?

[Optimist]

Better win it all this year because it could be sanctions and bye bye Kelvin next year. Maybe Bob Knight is positioning himself to return. (That's a joke.)

[Dave]

This should result in termination, right? Apply real-world logic here and realize what would happen to any of us at "normal" jobs in the same situation. Too bad, but it SHOULD happen.

[HJS]

Maybe Bobby's stepping down at Texas Tech was to set up his return to Bloomington!:)

[New Palasteen Farmboy]

Bobby was a real jerk but he didn't cheat. Get rid of Sampson.

[IUFaninMaryland]

Disgusting and embarrasing.

[Shelly Dubinski]

Next year, no Gordon, White and Sampson. Also Bobby is unemployed. The perfect storm for IU.

[Iris]

It's worse to lie about something that you did than the actual act. Ask Scooter Libby. Oh, and ask Roger Clemens in a couple of hours.

[wow]

if this is true, game over. NCAA and the IU admin is going to be so pissed, IU better self assess some serious punishment if they want to get out from under this anytime soon.
