After spending millions to hire then fire Kelvin Sampson, then millions more to lure and hire Tom Crean, then millions more in legal fees and buyouts of all their fired coaches and assistant coaches......
Now comes the news, that they can't even kick the AD out the door who is responsible for all this mess, without it costing them millions more!!
He is still going to draw his multi hundred thousand a year salary until the end of the year, then he will get another $441,600 in severence, amounting to yet another year's salary, while they will have to hire and pay a replacement AD for presumably the same lofty amount!!
When all is said and done, this whole Sampson deal will have cost them $10 million++, and someone tell me again how the taxpayers won't have to pay any of it as the athletic departmment is self-sufficient....yeah, right!
If you are one of the remaining few who still buy into the line that taxpayers don't have to subsidize these athletic departments, then read the last link above!
ps-- here's one guy's take of some of the inside story at IU
