INDIANAPOLIS -- Assistant Rob Senderoff resigned Tuesday amid a telephone recruiting scandal that already has cost Indiana one basketball scholarship and coach Kelvin Sampson a $500,000 pay raise.

 

The NCAA is still conducting its own investigation, which could lead to further sanctions.

 

"It's a very strong message," athletic director Rick Greenspan said of the internal investigation and report to the NCAA. "It's been delivered by voice, by written word, by action. If you look at the self-imposed sanctions and the corrective actions, an astute person would look at these as very significant ... all the way down the line."

 

The report, which does not accuse Sampson of any direct NCAA violations, details more than 100 impermissible recruiting calls, most of them by Senderoff. At least 10 of them were three-way calls that Sampson had been patched into, and another eight included incoming calls that couldn't be identified.

 

Greenspan wouldn't speculate what action the NCAA would take or the timetable for reaching a decision. He said Dan Dakich, a former Indiana player and assistant coach and former head coach at Bowling Green, would likely take Senderoff's spot on Sampson's staff.

Obviously, Sampson was completely oblivious to the rogue asst coach.

 

Thank goodness they've rid themselves of this dastardly fellow.

Today.

 

This is the guy responsible for making the illegal phone calls.

 

He was primarily responsible for the recruitment of Devin Ebanks, Top 15 guard from NY.

Yeah, and we all know Sampson is completely innocent and new nothing of this. Right!

This is the guy responsible for making the illegal phone calls.

 

He is also responsible for tying Sampson up, duct taping a phone to his head, and forcing him to participate in 3-way calls?

Somebody had to take the fall. In any situation where something goes this wrong this happens. Like at UK with Claude Bassett, although he wasn't going down quiet.

I don't see Mumme at UK anymore.

I don't believe the severity of what happened under Mumme has been reached by what Sampson's staff has done.

I agree, Hal "B"umme and crew were a whole other operation. With the exception of Morris, what a piece of.............work that crew was. I still go off when they are mentioned, I hated Mumme from te day that they hired him. I mean that - others were loving him and thinkng that Mumme was the savior of U.K. football.

I don't think that I.U. has reached the "Bumme" point......Yet!

:thumb::lol:I Love It!!! I knew that it was Sampson that was the "Duct Tape" Bandit in Ashland.Ky. a couple of months ago!! :scared:

I thought that the guy looked familiar. :laugh::laugh:

 

 

 

 

Seriousy now, doesn't everyone feel sorry for I.U. (LOL) - that place would mess up a one car funeral. (LOL)

I agree, but Bassett didn't take the fall for anyone but himself. You're comparing one guy leaving to a whole staff leaving.

Falling on the sword.

At first thats what UK tried to do with Bassett, but things got too serious and Mumme had to go too.

Imagine that it doesn't take Sampson long at all to get in trouble at Indiana. :lol:

 

He truly was and still is one of the brightest coaches in college, I just don't understand why he feels the need to constantly bend and break the laws.
