The NCAA has yet to rule on over 500 illegal contact violations that KS has been proven to commit.
If there are sanctions, they will likely be against the institution (Oklahoma) and not against Sampson.

The next logical step is for Oklahoma to hire Mark Turgeon.

One of two players rumored to be out at Indiana State is staying.
Little used Elliott Booe will be staying, but another little used player
Logan Whitman, is likely done (due to back problems.)
Tyson Schnittker has also left the team.

Though Schnitker won't be transferring until after the school year is finished, he is already talking openly about his new school

Also reported in a premium article by Rivals, that some of the recruits Kelvin Sampson had secured to Oklahoma are expressing thoughts of withdrawing their commitments, stay tuned...

Bobby Knight to Oklahoma!

IU fans would rue the day!

[Da Coach]

Would Bill Self consider the Oklahoma job? He is from Oklahoma and has always said that would be his dream job.

The Kansas could go after Mark Turgeon?

Quin Buckner and other former Bobby Knight players are finally mellowing and beginning to support Indiana again. But not all former players are in favor of Kelvin Sampson--

http://www.suntimes.com/output/campus/cst-spt-ind01.html

Former player, Ted Kitchel, however, said he wouldn't let Kelvin Sampson coach a 5th grade girls team. Also--
"I guess (Indiana AD Rick) Greenspan knows a hell of a lot more about IU basketball tradition than any of us," Kitchel said. "I don't think this is a good coach and I definitely don't think he'll be a good coach at Indiana."
