This shows how screwed up the NCCA is. A major rules vilation consists of too many phone calls, a cheap drwstring back-pack and a tee shirt, while repeated verbal and physical abuse against players, refs and opposing coaches is not evel a violation. The NCCA is just trying to protect the tax exempt status of its professional basketball program. They have demonstrated no real interest in integrity besides that. Having Bobby Knight return to IU would be equally as disgraceful as keeping Sampson.While Bobby Knight may not have made improper phone calls or provided valuable tee shits to recruits or whoever, his on and off court behaviour which ended him getting fired in the first place is still abhorent enough in its own right to make any talk of bringing him back a joke.

Just another example of why we need a minor league for the NBA. Not the developmental league but a true one like Hockey and Baseball. Unfortunately the NCAA and the Players union don't want one. The NCAA make millions off the NCAA tourney and would hate to loose that cash cow. People still watch college Baseball and Hockey on TV. This would allow the kids that actually want a degree to play and those that want to go to the NBA have an outlet. This one year after high school is a joke. Eric Gordon is a one and done and shouldn't even be in College. If wants a degree and goes to class that would be great but why pass up an opportunity to be a millionaire. Fire Sampson and at leat try to bring some integrity to college sports.
