November 25, 200817 yr On possible IU sanctions......4 PM. I will not be around to post so no one ask where I am. Assume im not gonna be happy and run with it! :lol: Edited November 25, 200817 yr by 98NCCalum
November 25, 200817 yr Author Early reports are saying probation, and no additional penalties other than those that were self imposed. I might have to celebrate if that's true. That is what I was saying all along but didn't really think i'd be right. Haha
November 25, 200817 yr Author I was hoping they would bump them down to DII. Darn.I'd be ok with that for this year, they would have a chance at .500 then!

November 25, 200817 yr Author What's the best possible realistic penalty ?Realistically if the reports are true and no further sanctions are laid down, that is definitely the best possible situation. What's the worst possible realistic penalty ? Well obviously they could shut it down for a couple years. They could take away all scholarships, I suppose. There's 0 chance of that happening though. A drastic reduction in recruit visits and coach visits and scholarship cuts are the biggest possibilities. And then, of course, there is always a postseason ban, which isn't going to happen anyway. Not the ban, but them actually making it.

You can't be an IU fan on this one, what do you truly believe they deserve ?
November 25, 200817 yr Author Here's a good question for you. If you're on the committee, what punishment would you give IU ? You can't be an IU fan on this one, what do you truly believe they deserve ? The sanctions they've given themselves are enough. It's the reason I've said all along thats all they will get. I truly believe with the scholarship cuts and the visit cuts/phone call cuts that they've done what the NCAA would have done anyway. Getting rid of Sampson and Greenspan helped a lot, im sure, as did bringing someone like Tom Crean in. Their should be sanctions on Kelvin Sampson, not the school. Don't take down the program or the kids that are currently there. Only 2 kids remain from last season and 1 of those is a walkon. So literally no one involved with the basketball team had anything to do with that stuff. MHO

November 25, 200817 yr Author NCAA Punishes Kelvin Sampson, spares Indiana!!!! Sampson receives NCAA's harshest penalty. If these sources are correct then, :dancingpa:dancingpa
November 25, 200817 yr I think this is the right decision..And i hate Indiana but those kids there and coach and Ad didnt have anything to do with what went on.. Congrats 98 you just dodge a bullet.
