NCAA Officially Accuses Indiana's Sampson Of Violations

NCAA Accusing Sampson Of Major Recruiting Rules Violations

FIRE SAMPSON? In Indianapolis, Bob Kravitz writes since Sampson "wasn't noble enough to resign Wednesday ...  he should have done it for the good of the school and specifically his players -- it's up to the IU administration to do it for him." The "sooner Sampson is set adrift, the greater the likelihood that the NCAA will soften the blows it figures to land on this program down the line." Sampson "betrayed the university's trust. And now, he must pay" (INDIANAPOLIS STAR, 2/14). In Oklahoma, John Rohde said if IU officials find the allegations to be true, Sampson and assistant coach Jeff Meyer, also implicated in the violations, "should be fired." Also, Greenspan, "the man who hired Sampson despite his transgressions at OU, should be fired." Self-imposed sanctions "should include reductions in the number of official visits, scholarships and recruiting days on the road." Rohde: "When disciplining yourself, don't slap yourself on the wrist. Slap yourself across the face. Make it hurt. Make it humiliating. Make the NCAA take notice" (DAILY OKLAHOMAN, 2/14).
