December 18, 200817 yr Look back to when things went down. It was talked about on here, and those were the names mentioned... You and whoever else can say what you want I guess. But I just am not big on spreading rumors that are not exactly proven.
December 18, 200817 yr You and whoever else can say what you want I guess. But I just am not big on spreading rumors that are not exactly proven. It's well known Bassett failed numerous drug tests at IU. I've also heard Ellis did as well. The only one not known to have the problem was Crawford, and I have it on good authority that he was always with the other two, and part of the problem. I could care less what you think about what I have to say...
December 18, 200817 yr However, he was suspended last season for failing multiple drug tests and was dismissed shortly after Crean took over after the end of last season. http://msn.foxsports.com/cbk/story/8949276/Sources:-Ex-Indiana-guard-Bassett-leaving-UAB-too
December 18, 200817 yr There are some that believe this is a bit too convenient for IU to have this story come out. It semes to be self-serving to both Gordon (hey, it was the other guys) and to Crean (look, I've only got good guys -sure we suck - but they're gentlemen).

Except it goes 1000% with things I heard as the walls were crumbling down. Question the timing, sure? There was a problem, no doubt about it...
December 18, 200817 yr Except it goes 1000% with things I heard as the walls were crumbling down. Question the timing, sure? There was a problem, no doubt about it... I was only commenting on the timing. However, the "not the guys that stayed" part did seem a little self-serving as well. Note that the challenge is what rumors do you believe. Do you believe the false rumor about the 0.0 GPA? Drugs? Sifting through the garbage is the challenge.

Do you believe the false rumor about the 0.0 GPA? Drugs? Sifting through the garbage is the challenge. I believe there were multiple players with a 0.0 GPA for the spring semester last year. Which ones is where you have to sort through the garbage. Both stories are tied together. There was a group that quit going to class and got high all day...

December 18, 200817 yr It also amazes me that Sampson would just sweep it under the rug. That's the least surprising part of the story for me.
December 18, 200817 yr Crawford was not one of the 0.0 guys. I know. He was in the group that spent a lot of time together, and caused most of the problems. It doesn't seem he was involved on the surface, but I've heard otherwise. Maybe he just sat in the room and didn't inhale...
December 18, 200817 yr I think this should squash the "pay the student-athletes" argument. Goodness, they received a free education, free room and board, didn't go to class and STILL had money for hippy lettuce...
December 18, 200817 yr So did Gordon issue a press release? Or did an writer ask about the Clippers and he went into this story?
December 18, 200817 yr So did Gordon issue a press release? Or did an writer ask about the Clippers and he went into this story? Here is your answer. First article.
December 18, 200817 yr A second positive test will result in the athlete missing 10 percent of his or her athletic season (three games in basketball). Jordan Crawford was suspended for 3 games last season for a "violation of team rules". Where there's smoke...
