    He always dreamed of going to Clown College and joining the circus, but realized IU's warm-up pants were the closest he was going to get?

    We've got a kid who's committed to us playing in the McD's AA game but the game thread only has like three people posting in it?

    ......the SF basketball thread is not at the top of the forum list, and has to share space with the women's basketball team.

    Hard to be overly excited about OU men's basketball right now. I don't feel so confident he will be here next yr., at least until we have a coach.

    What are the chances of the kid making it to campus now though? There is a real question mark up concerning this class now.

    Fairly good. The main announcer on the game said he had spoken with Scottie and while he was understandably upset, he remained committed to OU pending the hire of a new coach.

    I got the impression that Scottie was more ****ed at Sampson than anything else.

    More money, better arena, better fans, basketball school, better recruiting area. I'd have left too.

    Re: Theory on why Kelvin left OU...

    From today's Tulsa World:

    Sampson took over one of America's most prestigious basketball schools Wednesday and promised to keep Indiana's tradition intact by doing three things: graduating players, running a clean program and winning titles.
    Why couldn't he do those three things at OU?

    Re: Theory on why Kelvin left OU...

    he couldn't do that at OU cuz he was coaching at a football school. geeze.

    can't blame the guy for going to indiana. where he can be in the limelight and not in Bob Stoops and now Sherri Coales shadow. Nothing like having an ego and being the 3rd most popular coach on campus. and maybe even 4th. Patti Gasso has won a national title you know

    Because there were too many Kelvin bashers, silly.

    Better arena? Um, no. Read Seth Davis' article on cnnsi.com. He makes the point that OU's facilities for men's basketball are miles ahead of IU's, and that IU will never catch up because IU does not have the fountain of football money that OU has to fuel the athletic program in general.

    You're right about the other four, though.

    Re: Theory on why Kelvin left OU...

    I'll give you the quote through the wonders of cut and paste:
    ---------------------------
    Indiana is also woefully behind its Big Ten counterparts when it comes to facilities. The school has relied too long on its proud tradition, but that won't cut it anymore. If Sampson's new bosses want to see what a big-time program looks like, he should take them on a tour of the one he left behind in Norman -- fueled financially by football success Indiana will never know. The poor facilities at Indiana are a big reason why a lot of other coaches showed no interest in the job. I think it's safe to assume this topic came up during conversations with Sampson before he accepted the position.
