this idiot athletic director needs to follow him right out the door for hiring a cheater. For all his faults, Knight ran a very clean program. That history is now ruined.
Bring back Bobby!
After everything they went through with Knight, I can’t believe they’d hire Sampson. They sold their soul in order to get one year out of Eric Gordon.
Myles Brand is an idiot. He not only wrecked IU athletics, but he wrecked the high academic standings of many of the university schools. IU’s Chemistry, Business, Music & Foreign Language schools were all highly rated when I was a student there in the late ‘70’s. Thanks the Chancellor Hermann Wells and President John Ryan. Under Brand X, those schools slid considerably. My son now attends arch-rival Purdue, with my blessing, because Krannert is a better business school than Kelley.
Now Brand X is off to ruin the NCAA. When the NCAA faces problems like steroid abuse, academic fraud, criminal activity cover-ups and other problems, Brand was able to zero in the the root of the problem: Native American team names!!!! Yep, we won’t let teams be called Chippewas or any such nonsense now! That put an end to all the cheating!!!!
Brand is your typical ivory tower liberal academician who couldn’t run the corner lemonade stand.
The university and the public for years not only tolerated but celebrated behavior out of Knight, that he ( Knight ) would never have tolerated out of anyone else.
