Very different except for the unanimous and profound disappointment

McRobbie also said that the group conducting the investigation will not conduct any interviews with the players who raised the new allegations in the NCAA reports. Instead, they will review the transcripts of the interviews with the NCAA, he said.

Considering that it seems these are the interviews that turned up the heat on the allegations, it would seem Indiana should come to the same conclusion, which is that Sampson knowingly violated the terms of his sanctions.

I can't see any other reason to keep Sampson around right now. He should be out and never allowed to touch the Assembly Hall floor again.

I don't care how minor or major the violations are or whether he knowingly committed the violations or not.

The simple fact is that he breached his contract when he committed the violations. There is no disputing that. That is just cause.

It's like wanting to be let off the hook for running a red light because you “didn't notice the light.” You might get lucky and not cause an accident, and maybe no one saw you, or you might just plow into someone. I mean, hello? When you're on the road, there are going to be stop lights. You better be paying attention for them, especially when you're one point away from losing your license.

Almost all of us drank the Kool-Aid back in October and prayed that the situation would go away and the NCAA would say that Indiana punished Sampson and the basketball team enough. We hoped that the smack upside the head by Dad and loss of the car for the summer would be enough. But then we found out that the police had a camera on the light and little Johnny is going to have to own up to the real authorities.

What was going on? How did these mistakes happen? There is a clear lack of institutional control and it goes higher than Sampson. But the bottom line is that he was the one who had these sanctions and he should have known better. You have to be careful to the nth degree and he clearly wasn't.

I understand due process…but suspending him with pay right now was the ONLY logical option. It's a disgrace to see him on the sideline.

While the current situations at IU have certainly turned up the spotlight at IU to an almost unbearable level, let's not kid ourselves thinking this is the first time the spotlight has been on this program this year.

How does KS get rehabilitated after all this ? That too seems infeasible. Why can't he resign willingly after seeing what he has done to IU, the players and the loyal fans ? I cannot forgive Bobby and certainly not KS
