Kelvin Sampson MUST GO!

Two weeks ago IU announced that an internal investigation found that Kelvin Sampson and his staff had again made impermissible phone calls this past year. IU announced that it was "punishing" Sampson and his staff by taking away one scholarship, withholding a $500,000 raise for Sampson and assistant Rob Senderoff, and banning Senderoff from doing any off-campus recruiting for a year.

This is an absolute disgrace. Athletic Director Rick Greenspan should have fired Sampson immediately. Since he didn't, IU President Michael McRobbie should fire Sampson and then Greenspan for giving this CHEATER a THIRD CHANCE. I used to think IU was special because it always played by the rules and graduated its student-athletes. Now it's no better than Kentucky or UNLV.

What is almost laughable is that Greenspan seems to think that the NCAA will consider this "punishment" sufficient. Who is he kidding? The NCAA was not happy at all the first time Sampson cheated. Now, less than a year later at a different school, he breaks the SAME rule AND VIOLATES THE NCAA SANCTIONS AGAINST HIM! The NCAA is going to come down hard on Sampson and IU. I wouldn't be surprised if he and/or IU is banned from postseason play. Although it will be way too late, perhaps then IU will do the right thing and FIRE SAMPSON.

I've been debating asking for a refund for my season tickets. I just feel dirty rooting for this team. I've decided to give it a chance. Hopefully IU will see the error of their ways and eventually fire this clown. If not, then I'll have a major decision to make when my renewal form comes in next year.
