It looks like one of Indiana coach Sampson's interns reportedly turned him in...
NCAA rules state - To ensure no competitive advantage is gained and to protect the student-athlete from a daily barrage of phone calls. The NCAA recruiting calendar clearly states when and how frequently programs may contact recruits. There are certain weeks in which no contact is allowed. During contact periods, programs are allowed to call a recruit one time per week. If the call goes to voice mail, that counts. Recruits frequently let calls go to voice mail to save time.
Sampson and his staff violated this 577 times while at Oklahoma! And Indiana still hired him!
Sampson then gets punished by being banned from recruiting trips and making recruiting phone calls.
And he turns right around and is involved in 45 more illegal calls at Indiana!
Are you stupid or something?!
From the Indianapolis Star - Once the phone records were discovered, (Indiana AD) Greenspan asked for an independent investigation by attorney Robin Green Harris and the Indianapolis law firm Ice Miller, which took two months to complete. The findings confirmed Sampson had participated in the impermissible three-way phone calls during a one-year ban.
Wow... Just, wow...

I think this is so petty. I really don't know why there is a limit placed on how many phone calls can be made anyway. If he was bribing players to go to IU than that would be one thing or if he was doing something else like that. He is a great coach and I would really like to see him remain at IU.
