McRobbie on Sampson: “A risk that should not have been taken”
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008Indiana University President Michael McRobbie, who might be finally starting to figure out the importance of the basketball program in Bloomington, told the NCAA infractions committee in a hearing last month that hiring Kelvin Sampson was a mistake. Who knew?
“Indiana University took a risk in hiring Coach Sampson and giving him a second chance following […]
Rick Greenspan gone at IU; University charged with ‘failure to monitor’
Thursday, June 26th, 2008Just as I breathlessly thanked everyone for our first year and alluded to all the drama of the past year that has seemingly passed us by, something else creeps up. Rick Greenspan has resigned as athletic director at IU, effective at the end of this calendar year. The Infractions Committee has also charged IU with […]
Inside the Hall turns one year young
Thursday, June 26th, 2008A year ago today, Big A tossed down the very first post on this here blog. (About Bud freakin’ Mackey of all people.) Since then, it’s been about the most gosh darn eventful time in IU’s recent — or perhaps entire — history. To wit: we had Mackey and crack, Sampson phone problems, Senderoff’s resignation, […]
Kelvin Sampson will go on-and-on about Eric Gordon, but not his phone habits
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008Kelvin Sampson, who recently went out the back door of Hotel Deca between two dumpsters to avoid the media at the NCAA hearings, has apparently taken on the role of public relations manager for Eric Gordon.

Someone’s not telling the truth (hint: he’s pictured)
Friday, June 6th, 2008Another day has passed and more digging into the NCAA case summary is complete. This time, it’s excerpt from an interview with Kelvin Sampson where he denies ever being on a three-way call where he and Rob Senderoff talked simultaneously.
Here’s what Sampson said on November 13, 2007: “There was never, there was never an instance […]
Kelvin Sampson might or might not check caller ID
Thursday, June 5th, 2008The most interesting part of my first glance through the NCAA case summary was Kelvin Sampson’s explanation of his practices for checking caller ID. There are a lot of “uh’s” and contradictions. What’s that you say? You’re not surprised? Me either.

Mike Glazier, Sampson’s legal counsel
Kelvin Sampson, former […]
Gordon talks about Sampson; Chad Ford talks about his draft position
Friday, May 30th, 2008With all of the NCAA allegations/recruiting news going on in Bloomington over the past month, we haven’t had a chance to update you on Eric Gordon and his NBA Draft stock. Gordon is down in Orlando participating in the “combine” portion of the pre-draft camp. Rather than working out, he’s being tested for strength, agility, […]
