Here is an intriguing column by a writer in an elkhart, IN newspaper.
He really calls a spade a spade..... no effort to candy coat the truth or be nice for the fans' sake
he calls the IU program "corrupt", says there's a whole lot of work left to do to restore credibility and honesty,
and he calls strongly for "heads to roll" and for anyone who was responsible for bringing Kelvin Sampson to Indiana
should be fired--
"In reality, though, the enthusiasm over landing Crean to repair a corrupted and broken men’s basketball program
clouds where the focus should remain for the time being. That is, getting rid of anybody and everybody, trustees and all, who ever
played a role in letting Sampson set up shop inside Bloomington in the first place.
Sampson was beyond any reasonable description of Crimson. He arrived with blood on his hands. He left with blood money. What a legacy.
Bozo maneuver after Bozo maneuver, but still, none like bringing Sampson aboard in the first place. Sampson and his subordinates didn’t make one,
two, three ... or even 33 impermissible recruiting phone calls over a roughly four-year span at Oklahoma. Try 577 — five-hundred and seventy-seven —
such calls, according to the NCAA. Infractions committee chairman Thomas Yeager used terms like “calculated” and “deliberate” to describe
Sampson’s actions. To boot, the graduation rate for Sampson’s OU program ranked 269th of 317 Division I teams. And this was the man Greenspan
and Herbert pegged to take over IU basketball?"
