EDUCATEDBET…Sampson now a Help

Former Indiana coach Kelvin Sampson’s separation agreement with the university will not be finalized until March 17.

Sampson signed the deal Friday, but university spokesman Larry MacIntyre said Monday the Hoosiers ex-coach has 21 days to revoke the deal that includes provisions which prevent Sampson from suing the university. The agreement, which was obtained through a Freedom of Information request, also requires Sampson to continue cooperating with the NCAA investigation and bars him from interfering with any team activities. Sampson shall not interfere in any way with the activities of the men’s basketball team and shall not discourage the current members from cooperating with the transition to a new head coach, from remaining active members of the team, and from playing to their full potential in all competition events,” the agreement states.

He took the Indiana job in March 2006 and two months later was penalized by the NCAA for making 577 impermissible phone calls between 2000 and 2004 when he was coaching Oklahoma. The second wave of charges emerged in October when a university investigation found Sampson and his staff made more than 100 impermissible calls while still under recruiting restrictions and that Sampson participated in at least 10 three-way calls, another violation of the NCAA’s punishment.

Now the question that I keep asking myself everytime I hear about this story is…why would he do it again. Ok well he did not make as many calls this past time but still c’mon Kelvin stop cheating. But you know what this is little saying that me and my friends say is what I am sure Kelvin and his staff said while making these calls…IF YOU AIENT CHEATING, YOU AIENT TRYING. Thats how Sampson roles I guess…but not anymore because he is out of a job.

The next question is will he get another job offer from any major NCAA program. My EDUCATEDBET would be not for a little bit, but do I think that he will get one…hell yes. He is not a bad cocah, I think that Indiana was in the top 15 before he was kicked to the curb. But he will not get an offer for at least two years. He is a cheater! There has been a lot of cheating in sports lately huh? C’mon you PROFESSIONALS…lets stop cheating!
