OK, much as I hate it, this one is pretty funny. The only good thing is that the number will be getting much smaller soon. Posted Image[/IMG] |

FWIW, the school didn't buy out sampson -- and the legal fees got covered by donors too. |

I would still call that a loss of money for the university...If they didn't have to buy sampson out the money would have gone to the university instead, no? ^o) |

Isn't Crean's contract effectively paid by donors also since the athletic budget comes from all donations? |

no, probably not actually. if you do what i do, you'd find out IU donors have big pockets. |

I guess what I'm saying is that people donate to the university with a certain amount of money in mind...JMO but I wouldn't think that people would be calling into the IU donation center to give "extra" money to pay off samson than they already have |

Come on guys lighten up, it's a joke! I don't care how accurate or even true it is, it's a cleaver idea from someone at a school that has so few cleaver ideas, give him a break. |

a certain donor paid of sampson, not a collection. i work in the athletic office, and i take donations on a regular basis. IU's athletic department is pretty unique in that it's run almost completely off donations. i see what you're saying, and that'd be the case for most situations and most schools; but the way IU run things is a little bit different. |

I think most athletic departments are run through donations FWIW. Obviously, revenue from tickets and merchandise help, but I'm fairly certain almost all of them are run without state assistance or money from the actual university. |

I didn't realize that the donation was done by one donor. I may just be ignorant to how the legality of the situation would work but if IU just would have waited for the NCAA to say that Sampson couldn't coach college for 5 years would that mean that the contract would be broken without IU having to pay? |
