IU basketball media challenge was a lot of fun but a lot work

Prior to the 2011-12 Indiana basketball season, head coach Tom Crean held the 2nd Annual Media Challenge at Cook Hall and Assembly Hall on Thursday. It was a unique and fun opportunity to see inside the program and how hard they work each day.

Kelvin Sampson just doesn’t get it – once a cheater always a cheater

You kidding me…we’re talking about phone calls, phone calls? No matter how simple it sounds, former Indiana basketball coach Kelvin Sampson isn’t above the rules.

Three years ago Sampson received his punishment from the NCAA, a five-year show-clause until 2013. Fact is, he ignored the rules while at Oklahoma and again at Indiana.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.…

Hoosier Hysteria set for Saturday, October 15th
