Kelvin Sampson: HE GAWN!!
I guess cheaters don’t win after all. Kelvin Sampson, he who kept violating NCAA rules and making impermissible phone calls is no longer the head coach at Indiana University, a school where up until now when Sampson kept breaking rules had never been slammed with a major violation. That includes all the years under the great Bobby Knight. That’s right, folks. Robert Montgomery Knight may have had a horrible temper, but he always ran his programs clean.
How ironic is it that after this whole ordeal, Sampson will get $750,000, and will agree to not sue the school. $550,000 of it is coming from a donor, who gave up cancer research to send him packing. This guy breaks rules and gets 3/4 million, while when an athlete breaks the law, he is thrown off the team, kicked out of the school, loses his scholarship, and gets turned over to the po-po. Good riddance to Sampson. I hope this bum is never allowed to coach again. Broke rules not only once, but twice, and on top of it, he lied.
Wouldn’t that be nice. Get fired for cheating in your job and get paid nearly a million bucks! What a rough life. He’ll be back in the game again soon.
I’m just pissed they got Eric Gordon from his cheating ways!
He did not cheat to Eric Gordon. Besides, Gordon didn’t want to play for Sampson, he wanted to go to Indiana. He just felt with Mike Davis, he wouldn’t have many opportunities, so that’s why he committed to the Illi-gay. Once Sampson took over, Gordon decided to go to Indiana
Ah likely story! So you are telling me that none of Sampsons 500 extra phone calls were to Gordon? Just saying Indiana had an advantage in recruiting him. Without that advantage – Gordon could be in Orange and Blue. But only for a year either way as he’s NBA bound after this year.
The 500 calls Sampson made were while he was at Oklahoma. I believe the NCAA looked into the whole mess with Gordon and found no wrong-doing
