Sorry, Chief, but you cannot bring this kind of shame upon the IU program and keep your job.  Mike Davis beat on his own forehead like a frightened autistic kid but at least he never had the NCAA sniffing around.  IU might not be the premier destination for America’s blue-chip talent any longer, but it’s always been a squeaky clean program.  Hell, I might think about cutting this cat some slack if IU was playing good, fundamental basketball, but even that’s not happening.  I mean, where is the nose-to-the-grindstond, blue-collar stuff we saw from Sampson’s Sooners?  If these latest notices from the N-C-2-A are even close to true, I think we need to tell Sampson “laters.”
