More violations for too many phone calls, this time with Indiana. Indiana will lose a scholarship.

"Telephone calls to basketball recruits have landed Indiana coach Kelvin Sampson in trouble again and will cost the team a scholarship and Sampson a scheduled $500,000 raise. Indiana announced Sunday that the school's basketball staff exceeded NCAA limits on calls to recruits during the past year -- a period during which Sampson was prohibited from off-campus recruiting because of excessive recruiting calls when he was coaching at Oklahoma."

Yes, this is the same thing he got in trouble for at Oklahoma.

Do recruits not feel weird about old men calling them all the time just to chat?

haha, i was about to say the same thing

its the creepiest of all NCAA Violations

if i was a recruit i think i would commit as early as possible to try to avoid 80 coaches calling me at all hours

I'm guessing either the player or one of their parents.

Especially since there is currently no limit to text messaging as far as I know.

I bet Sampson was getting drunk and calling them late night and complaining about how tough his job is...and then asking for gay sex.

I wish I were a ballin ass athlete. I'd visit UNC... wait for them to commit their many violations, sign with state, and report their asses... I'd have tape recorded conversations and all. It'd be awesome.

^^ The NCAA is working on that loophole right now. I guess some big time recruits have been getting so many texts that their phone bills are outrageous (I guess they didn't have free texting).

Also Kelvin Sampson is an overrated piece of doo doo and will be fired at Indiana within three years. I am still surprised that Indiana actually hired him.
