Greg Couch has a scathing column in the Chicago Sun-Times today. He accuses Sampson of willfully violating the rules and encouraging his staff to do the same in order to build a team at OU that overacheived, which in turn allowed him to land a better coaching gig, which in turn pays him an extra $600K each year. Couch argues that the clause in Sampson’s contract permitting him to be fired if the penalties were stiff indicates that IU didn’t care about hiring a cheater, only that the penalties for his past cheating weren’t too stiff.

Completely unrelated, but:
KU beats Misery tonight in baseball, 4-3, when Misery’s shortstop trips over his shoelace throwing to first in the bottom of the 8th inning. With a win against Nebraska tomorrow KU could have tourney titles in Hoops, Baseball, and Softball- arguably 3 of the top 4 college sports, at least in the Big 12.
