Kelvin Sampson either has some weird addiction to cell phones, or maybe he can’t count, or he thinks some rules don’t apply to him.
Indiana officials should show how they feel about Sampson on Friday by officially cutting ties with him.
They should have given Sampson the boot before the last two games against Michigan State and Purdue, and they probably would have if there wasn’t so much riding on the season and if the opponents were different.
The delay in making a decision just shows that having integrity is important until it gets in the way of winning two pivotal games.
He first got caught making 577, not five, or 57, but 577 extra phone calls to prospects at Oklahoma. And then Sampson promised Indiana athletics director Rick Greenspan that he had learned his lesson and wouldn’t do it again.
Breaking a rule once is a mistake and cause for concern, but twice is a disturbing pattern and in this case, cause for dismissal.
But landing a big-name coach would cost a lot of money at a school where the football program struggles to generate revenue.
Indiana fans want you to believe that their program still ranks among the elite in the country, sharing center stage with traditional powers such as Kansas, North Carolina and Duke.
At this stage, though, that’s a stretch.
This year’s team has recaptured the national spotlight, but Indiana still hasn’t won a national title since 1987, and it’s won just one Big Ten regular-season title since 1993.
Indiana also doesn’t pay that well, as evidenced by Sampson making only about $900,000 annually. That’s about $300,000 less than what Todd Lickliter makes annually at Iowa.
The facilities at Indiana also leave much to be desired. And let’s face it, Bloomington, Ind., isn’t the kind of town that sells itself.
