bring back bobby knight! yeah i know, it's not possible.

God, I hate Indiana, Sampson, Greenspan AND Knight! Go Illini!

I hate Indiana also.

But no way should Indiana be put on probation to punish their fans and players when Sampson and the AD can just leave for BETTER JOBS.

The penalty should come from Sampsons pocketbook and move on.

Why does it look like he is holding his chest-Is he considering a b o o b job?

Indiana has been left SOL by Kelvin. IU will be paying for this for near future at least and that can derail it. Thanks, Kelvin, you b unghol e.

I agree that a school shouldn't be penalized to harshly when the coach screws up on his own. But, when the AD is involved it's a whole new ballgame. At that point, it becomes an institutional problem.

IU President Herbert is already gone. Greenspan is leaving. When do the trustees get to fall on their swords?? Oh, sorry. This is reality. Newton's 1st Law of Gravity is still in force. "**** rolls downhill." I just hope Creen is able to restore some measure of respectability and credibility to the IU program, If he does, he should have earned himself a long-term home and serious gratitude.

IU has learner once again that leopards do not change their spots and snakes are never to be trusted.

IU has re-learned that leopards do not change their spots and snakes are never to be trusted. Shame on them for believing otherwise!

I agree. The NCAA's penalty system is VERY unfair. However, you need to remember something. The NCAA is like the IOC and USOC; a cartel that functions as judge, jury, executioner without any supervision or regulation. But then, that is only fair. They are, after all, AMATEUR sports. There's no money involved. Only the joy of competition in its purest form!

I wonder what teams "Grandstand Spectre" roots for??
Excuse me, I have to find a waste basket. I'm gonna barf!

IU's decision to hire Sampson will have to go down as one of the worst hires in NCAA history...... okay, I guess I am stating the obvious with that, but it still boggles the mind that they hired this sleazeball after the problems he had at Oklahoma.

Ranks right up there with Jerry Faust and Notre Dame (and at least he didn't cheat).

Glad this guys gone. He and Sampson ruined our run to the Final Four.

What happened to Indiana's "zero tolerance" policy they used on Knight? What were they thinking with this hire of Sanson? They deserve all the heartburn they are going to get over this.

BTW, Faust never went 3-9 at Notre Dame

Eh, ask any Indiana fan, we haven't liked Greenspan for a long time... or, at least, I haven't and a lot of others don't either.

True Faust never went 3-9 but he also never went 9-3...

Herbert is still on IU faculy.. BB program went downhill with Myles Brand as university president. Brand is now making a travesty of the NCAA as its boss.

A disturbing photo that is. ****, do I make you, baby?

H-O-R-N-Y is a prohibited word?
