Those pesky new fangled text messages kept us from several conference banners and probably a couple final fours while beating Purdue most of the time.

It has nothing to do with phone calls or text

And has to do with what exactly?   Anything that Sampson had besides the recruiting violations Crean had worse and people weren’t calling for him to be fired because of it.

Sampson had a five year show-cause after IU fired him.  So if we are factually talking about how many banners we would have had if we hadn't fired him, the answer would be zero.  It's important to remember that Sampson came to IU with that baggage, it wasn't simply that he had made improper calls here.  The five year show cause wasn't in a vacuum -- he was deemed a serial offender as he had previous issues.

Had we supported Sampson and not self reported history could be very different

Well after that season more than half the team would have been ineligible because of grades.  He was not the right coach for IU and I thank god every day he is not the coach at IU

[IU Scott 2,375]

Wow there were 4 games today with 8 teams and only two scored over 70 points with a high of 72.  It is such inept offense and don't really blame the players because the coaches uses this horrible system they use in college today.  they micro manage every possession and mainly walk the ball up even after misses.  the other night watching the 87 final four game against UNLV the score at the 16 minute mark of the second half was 67-63

So you mean cheated and turned a blind eye?  If that’s the game we want to play, how many titles would we have iv we hired hookers for our players?

If you are equating making too many phones with getting hookers for players one of which isn’t even against the rules you seem to be unwilling to exist in the realm of grey that you have to in order to be successful.

I’m willing for the program to play in the grey as they did for many years without people being all pissy about it. The “greatest coach in college ball” allowed for something’s to go on. What I’m not willing to actively root for is the level of muck that existed off the court in the Sampson era. We’ve been through this more than once so I’ll leave it at that. The texts and phone calls are no big deal, the culture is absolutely a big deal.

Sampson had been caught previously and knew the potential consequences. I’m not sure why people want to forget about the five year show cause.

Creighton hasn't played horribly and Gonzaga is up 16...  Don't see how they lose in this tourney unless they just don't show up.

Yep, it’s theirs to lose.

That's who Kevin Durant has advocated for.

I understand that.  It's the irony of the news and its timing that struck me as humorous.
