I hate everything about what would cause you to leave say something like this. This makes me a diehard liberal deserving of the worst hatred you know, but I welcome that hatred because you're delusional, ignorant, and downright stupid.

No player is bigger than Indiana University or it's basketball program. If they don't want to play that's fine, if they want to sit out the game tomorrow that's fine, but I say suspend them immediately. This University should not ever be held hostage by it's student athletes no matter the circumstances.

They do NOT deserve some say in the decision and they do NOT deserve some say in the choice between Dakich and Macullum. They are simply players. If they don't want to play for the coach then do not play but this university can ill afford to make any more coaching decisions based on the views and emotions of it's players and our current situation is evidence of that fact.

The University needs to do what is right for Indiana University and the future of it's Basketball program and athletic department. If we have to throw away one season out of 107 then so be it! Decisions now need to be based on how to reclaim our clean and honest name and set us back on the right path.

my opinion with the players leaving is simple…

ahfield and taber wouldn't leave…they are walk-ons who are playing without scholarships because it was a dream!

dj white wouldn't leave…he's stuck it out this long and this is his season to do something spectacular on a personal level…like win a big ten p.o.y. or more.

eric gordon wouldn't leave…he's already thinking about the nba and i doubt he'll be willing to wait two more years to see this happen…he needs to play one year of college basketball and if he transfers he'll be sitting idle on a bench for one year before he can complete this one-year commitment.

lance stemler may leave…sampson gave him more playing time than he deserved, so he probably loves the man.

either way, if any of these players leave i know what the university should do…

DON'T ALLOW ANY OF THEIR COLLEGE CREDITS TO TRANSFER OR MAKE THEM PAY THE UNIVERSITY BACK FOR THEIR SCHOLARSHIPS! I HATE QUITTERS!
