Indiana Men's Basketball Escapes Harshest Sanctions

November 26, 2008 RSS Feed Print

The Indiana University athletic department received a bittersweet ruling from the NCAA Tuesday and has mostly escaped sanctions for major recruiting violations starting in 2006 under men's basketball coaches Kelvin Sampson and Rob Senderoff, the Indiana Daily Student reports.

IU accepted three years probation as well as self-imposed sanctions such as the reduction of scholarships and ejection of several players. The NCAA found IU guilty of "failure to monitor" but did not take away any additional scholarship or impose a postseason ban.

The two coaches, accused of making more than 100 impermissible calls to recruits, received much stronger penalties, with Sampson—now an assistant coach with the Milwaukee Bucks—receiving a five-year order that will keep him from any recruiting activity as well as returning to college basketball for that period. Senderoff was given a three-year order and will be barred from recruiting at Kent State, where he is now an associate head coach.

In a recent report produced in the well-known contraception journal, physicians have stressed that some of the medicines that used to raise potassium may interact with birth control pills containing drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol, which very much present in Yasmin.
It is so because both these pills may increase potassium level and interaction with medicines, which are also responsible for raising potassium level, may cause highest potassium level at the alarming level.

It is sad to see what has happened to a once proud basketball program. Sampson should never have been hired, especially since he got in trouble at Oklahoma (for the same things.
Now, under Crean, it is a big joke. Those kids he is putting out there should not be on a major college program. The players he is playing now are like a sad joke. Taber is no more than a 12th man, and the other leftover is not as good as several of the players at the HPER.
After watching IU lose like they are, it is as if Crean is losing on purpose - sending those kids out there that should not be starting, more or less playing at this level. Come on, look at the games and those players out there on the court.
There are a lot of better players that they could have gotten to play this season. Really sad.
Sampson should really be ashamed of what he has done to a proud program.

What a joke. You'd think that they paid recruits or gave them cars like Michigan, or allowed them to cheat on coursework like Minnesota. Complete silliness.
