Like Kelvin Sampson before him, Rick Greenspan agreed not to sue Indiana University in announcing his resignation. Yet it's another clause in Greenspan's agreement, released Monday, that stood out as unique from previous athletic department resignations. The IU athletic director "retains rights to any book he may wish to write and publish." Greenspan's resignation, effective at the end of the calendar year, was announced Thursday. At the time, IU also disclosed his $441,000 in severance payments. The $441,000 IU agreed to pay Greenspan comes on top of the $750,000 buyout for Sampson and the $66,000 buyout for Senderoff. That kind of spending has drawn the ire of many IU fans.

I want to hear more about the buyout. Instead of firing Sampson, couldn't they have had him work in another department.

Who cares, Indiana has not been relevant in what, 20 years? They knew Sampson was a cheater and they hired him anyway. This is the price you pay.

This just gets worse for Indiana. Things just haven't been the same since "Mad Bobby" left the ranch.

I wonder if the book will have pictures that one can color if they choose to!

Where? Telemarketing???

And why did IU take so long to show Greenspan the door? Well, at least it's over now. And watch Crean rebuild them into a championship contender by 2011.
