what happened

Negotiated a 750K buy-out. Sampson will be out at IU as soon as he puts ink to paper.

I'd take the buy out. I don't really understand it but if I was him I'd be all over it.

...and like 6 players including DJ White didn't show for the new coaches first practive. Gordon however did show and intends to play. I don't know why these kids are hurting their future over their cheating coach.

yeah where they going to follow him? Some random Div III college? Give me break

Wow 750 buyout why did he do that? I thought IU was screwed in what they could do, as they either had to suspend him and couldnt fire him. I would think he would be like yeah suspend me and I will just sit on my butt and keep collecting.

No kidding. This is only his 2nd year there, which meant that he only recruited the current freshman and some of the sophomores.

Indiana lost its integrity when they started that zero tolerance with Bob Knight. They never really went into what that meant, gave no description just used it to fire him over petty crap. Now they are negotiating a buyout with a guy who they hired who had violations from his previous stint...

Indiana = crap college that has no integrity anymore.
