Apparently, nobody hired Kelvin Sampson at IU

February 26th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

February 15th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

 
Well, there were obviously some huge changes in between my post from earlier tonight and the present time.  My apologies for running with the story that Sampson would be suspended or fired today (Friday) — there was a lot of confirmation blood in the water, but it disappeared for some reason.
