How Come You Don't Call Me

The Indiana Hoosiers and their coaching staff have violated the NCAA rules for making excessive calls to basketball recruits this past year.

This all happened while the head coach, Kelvin Sampson, was on probation for excessive calls while a coach at Oklahoma.

Indiana has decided to voluntarily sanction itself by foregoing one scholarship and by not giving the coach a scheduled $500,000 raise. The coach threw the assistant coach, Rob Senderoff, under the bus, saying that he made the calls (three-way calls ot the recruits' home), but neither assistant nor coach will be fired, and the NCAA says that they are OK with the sanctions given to coach and team.

Nothing new here. I'm sure some coach is violating the NCAA rules as I type this. It's virtually impossible not to given the all-encompassing nature of their rules. (Witness the NCAA's latest rule adjustment on bench decorum). I just wonder how he got caught.
