Indiana President Says Sampson Was a Mistake: Indiana President Michael McRobbie told the NCAA Infractions Committee that the Hoosiers made a mistake in hiring former coach Kelvin Sampson, who arrived in Bloomington in 2006 on probation for making improper phone calls to recruits while at Oklahoma. McRobbie told the committee that hiring Sampson was not worth the risk. Sampson resigned in February amid a developing investigation into more recruiting violations. As a result of Sampson’s actions, the school has taken away a scholarship for the upcoming season. In addition, athletic director Rick Greenspan, who hired Sampson, resigned last week. New coach Tom Crean must rebuild a program from scratch, with only one returning scholarship player from last season’s squad. [6/30/08]
