IU is definitely leading for Romeo

Once upon a time, the Mods used to frown on calling out or making personal attacks on other posters. I guess those days are gone. The anonymity of the message board makes people "brave" enough to throw out insults that they would not make face to face(for fear of getting their ass beat).
I too don’t understand why trolls who are obviously here to disrupt pertinent discussion are not banned. The rude and insulting comments by a few destroy intelligent dialogue.
 
Do you have any links to prove that IU "sat on it"? I'd be really interested in your records describing what IU initially self- reported about the phone calls, what IU's knowledge was based on and the penalty IU initially self-imposed against itself.

As I recall, IU initially self-reported some phone calls in the fall, but Sampson and McCallum disclosed additional phone calls over the next few months, making themselves look worse. Do you have any information showing that IU had the complete story the previous fall?
Look at the time line of events. They knew in July and waited until the following February to act.
 
"Willingness to act"
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You still don’t realize you posted an article that refuted what you’ve been saying all along. That’s, plus using a word you didn’t know to describe a situation you obviously didn’t understand, makes this an easy one. You’re just not very bright. There’s no need to “judicate!” that.
 
And used UofL as an argument for quick, responsive action.

If UofL was concerned about "acting promptly", they would have canned RP when his affair with Karen Cunagin surfaced, with all its embarrassing details. They could have canned him after the hooker scandal broke, also.

They didn't because even though RP had brought significant embarrassment to the University he represents, he was still a valuable asset because of the money he brought in through basketball. ONLY WHEN it became apparent supporting him further could cost them a team (and revenue) did they cut him loose.

You're right, IU could have cut Sampson loose in October 2007. They had significant proof - but it still would have to be judicated. Instead of taking a chance at a costly lawsuit, they waited until the NCAA returned their findings.

IU waited almost 8 months after finding out about extra phone calls.

UofL waited over 8 years - and three separate, embarrassing events.

Both schools did it for financial reasons.

Yet UofL is the school that had the "willingness to act" . . .

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

IU "could" have cut KS loose in Oct but that would have been a very risky and likely very expensive decision. They might have been in court for two years or longer If you have ever managed a large organization, particularly one that is federally funded, you understand such big boy decisions. I am no fan of the AD at the time, but thankfully the Attorneys got it right. Anyone saying IU sat on the decision is woefully ignorant of how the business world works today.

As an interesting side note, IU got a lot of bad press for firing him as soon as they did.
 
Last time I checked that having an affair was not against the law or a against any NCAA rules. Yes it is immoral but you can't just fire someone for doing something immoral.

Many, if not most, employment contracts used to have a clause pertaining to moral turpitude.
Maybe they no longer contain such a clause, or maybe now we no longer consider having an extramarital affair or consorting with prostitutes to be an act of moral turpitude.:confused:

This is an absolutely false portrayal of where IU was and the reasoning behind their decision making. You couldn’t be farther from the truth here, though it’s not a surprise that you would get this so completely wrong.

Because you say it is?

Maybe if he had the "willingness to act" it'd be different, huh?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

You’re still not able to see that the article you posted refutes your argument, are you? I guess that’s not surprising given that you used a word you did not know to describe a situation you obviously did not understand. “Judicated!”

I’m not sure of your level of education but, for your sake, I truly hope it’s relatively low. At least it would make for a reasonable explanation . . .

Come back when you provide proof that IU "sat on it" because they "did want to tank the season".

Until then, you're just being your usual blowhard self . . .

Read the article you posted. It shows they sat on it, even if you weren’t smart enough to see that when you unwisely posted it as supposed proof of your position.

Again, you used a word you didn’t know to describe a situation you obviously didn’t understand. That says everything about you that we need to know. “Judicated!”

You may be able to determine from that article that IU "sat on it", but certainly gives no PROOF they did so to not "tank the season".

Only thing you've gotten right in all of this is my mistake on a word. Congrats - I'm sure your self-esteem is now complete . . .:cool:

You posted an article that refuted what you said. Period. And, prior to that fact, you tried to argue a point you didn’t understand by using a term you didn’t know.

You have zero credibility on this matter, and it actually reduces every time you attempt to mount a feeble argument in your defense.

“Judicated!” really says it all.
 
Let me guess...demanding proof while offering none? Ignore him, just easier than arguing with a bitter little man,
No, he offered proof that supported what I said, then tried to BS his way through it by using a term he didn’t know regarding a situation he didn’t understand. He’s justifiably embarrassed, even though much of this is well beyond him (and you).
 
WTF do you add?

I only wish I could "contribute" an editor and / or English teacher to you. It would help so much.
 
Misery?

Indigestion?

Diarrhea?
The truth, which is something you've proudly chosen to run from here. You look incredibly foolish for a reason, not the least of which is using a word you do not know to describe a situation you onviously do not understand. "Judicate!"

Help what exactly? Your crippled sense of self-esteem? Your campaign to assert yourself as this site's alpha male? To mask your utter lack of originality, creativity or wit? The laughable pretense that you are more learned and educated than everyone else? The general opinion that you're a richard?

Leaving the country tomorrow for a week so won't be here to continue this delightful repartee. You'll just have to play with yourself but suspect it's what you do best..

¡Ciao!
