I'm not sure what else they could say. Weber's comments aren't really sympathetic or dismissing. And I guess Izzo drew the short straw and had to play the friend card. Also note the number of times Painter uses the word 'honest' in a single paragraph. That's pretty funny. I get it...

For the most part,conference bretheren arent going to call each other out publicly... Privately and on the recruiting trail, it's a different matter....Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final

I have heard that Kelvin Sampson flew into Peoria over the past weekend. Probably a recruiting visit. Maybe visiting Matt Roth, or another recruit?
He was overheard saying the problem was with the compliance office at IU. They were at fault for not catching this earlier.Comment

The head coach is responsible for his program so he can try to make it look like someone elses fault all he wants but the U. Of Indiana is in violation and did have an unfair advantage recruiting by breaking the rules and should be penalized asa this coach is nothing but a cheat.Comment

It didn't work for Quin Snyder, who fired assistants to deflect blame and save his job,
but we all saw right through it and he was canned anyway.Comment

The plot thickens:
"Indiana University basketball player DeAndre Thomas and the mother of star recruit Devin Ebanks told investigators Kelvin Sampson participated in three-way phone calls that violated previously imposed NCAA sanctions against the IU basketball coach.
When IU released a report Oct. 30 detailing the violations, numerous names were redacted. The Star made another public records request, asking specifically that it be redacted only to the extent required by law."

I can't see anyway the NCAA doesn't come down on this scum bag. If he doesn't lose his job there is no justice. How a great kid like MR could not see through his act is beyond me. Maybe there is a reason but I don't think I'll go there. If he cheats about phone calls what else can we assume???? I used to think IU was a school that would not allow cheating,but now???? You can draw your conclusions.Originally posted by bert notorius View PostThe plot thickens:

I never agreed with this hire and never will. All I can say, like I've said from day 1 is "FIRE KELVIN SANCTION!"
I really don't like the direction the Indiana athletic program has taken since the firing of Bob Knight. Bob Knight comes with a little baggage, but at least he runs a clean and respectable program with high graduation rates.
After Mike Davis, they had the opportunity to hire Steve Alford, but instead decided to hire Mr. Sanction. It was crummy for the administration to snub Alford, but they did so because of his perception as a "Bob Knight Guy" and they don't want to renew those ties in any way. What a shame!
It's a real travesty to see the Indiana program become what it has become. I am a true basketball enthusiast and I would rather have a program that is clean, run by a coaching staff that not only know Xs and Os, but are also good role models. Programs like that create student althletes that are a real joy to cheer for! Men that are a true joy to have represent your university on and off the court.
Luckily, we have these things at Bradley. Sure, losses like Butler and Michigan State just break my heart. But our men are fun to watch on the court. It's a lot of fun watching them develop and get better. They each bring unique skills to the game that are fun to watch them perform, win or lose. Our men also represent the University well off the court. That's the type of program that wins my heart.
Man, I can't wait until the VCU game tonight!Comment
