Embattled Indiana gets a win
The Indiana Hoosiers program, swirling under a cloud of controversy from Kelvin Sampson's latest missteps, transgressions and lies, won a big home game last night against the 9th ranked Michigan State Spartans by a dominating 19 points. Sadly, that was the only good news. Things look bad for a program that hadn't had any trouble with NCAA violations in 50 years until Kelvin Sampson rolled into town. Now there are allegations of major infractions!
The win, blow out or not, didn't answer any questions. Athletic Director Rick Greenspan must be held accountable if Sampson is found to have committed the violations he stands accused of committing. AD Greenspan asked Hoosiers alumni, students, staff, faculty and fans to give Sampson, a previous violator, the benefit of the doubt. Many, including the Clarion, did. But true Hoosiers know our good name is what is most important, wins aside. Less than honorable wins are not wins at all. (Michigan)
Stealing Eric Gordon from Illinois left a bad taste in the Clarion's mouth, revelations of earlier phone and texting scandals made us more nervous, now if there is cause found, Sampson and Greenspan must go.
Perhaps a certain recently retired coach would be available to serve as interim athletic director, and lead the search for a new basketball coach?
