What a way to go out if so. We have had a great two game run and maore to come I think. The games are not that tough other then Michigan State on the road.

Holding on when you know he's wrong makes you look even more shady. The NCAA is waay too arrogant to negotiate anything. Also, don't forget who runs the NCAA. I can't see him doing us any favors either. Conventional wisdom would suggest the sooner, the better, as far as the NCAA is concerned.

KS may have issues and may have knowingly “cheated ” if so, then let him go and let's start looking for a coach today. I have a bigger beef, if he is guilty then he should have already left the day of the NCAA's ruling. But since he didn't then maybe he does know the truth. Maybe he made an honest mistake. But NONE of us know what KS did, or did not do, we just know what the NCAA claims. As mentioned by Jerry, these are “potential violations”. It is possilbe that he thought he was in accordance wiht the NCAA rules.

Another thing, did anyone pay attention to the fact that the ruling did not come down from Miles Brand but the VP of the NCAA. This is a huge concern, if the NCAA really thinks KS is guilty as charged, then they can't have any mercy on IU. Maybe either we are going to get hammered anyway due to the fact that it might show favoritism by M Brand.

Many of us didn't like the choice of KS when he was hired but embraced him once he succeeded as our coach. Now that we have decided for him to go… we are ready for him to be fired but PLEASE beat Purdue before you go…..just don't seem right.

Lastly, I believe KS should have made damn sure that he didn't make the same mistake twice when he came to IU…and maybe he still thinks he didn't.

Something to ponder.
