The latest headlines on the Sampson scandal in time for IU's June 13 NCAA hearing

[CalebMaxson]

Judgment is near for Indiana University and the Hoosier basketball team as the NCAA Infractions hearing on June 13 in Seattle draws closer. Late last week the NCAA released a 96-page case summary establishing the allegations against IU. While IU found much of the document accurate, the university is still maintaining that Sampson misled investigators while at IU, and was the one at fault for the most serious of the violations.

Here’s a collection of some of the latest headlines surrounding the Sampson scandal, for all of us who were trying in vain to forget his name over the past couple of months and now need to catch up on the latest before the hearing:

What kind of implications are there in the fact that Crawford was improperly contacted, might that affect his status of returning?

[HoosierFan27]

It does NOT sound good for us. I just hope that we can cut our losses and escape with no heavy sanctions. However I don't think it's going to be as bad as some of the media is making it out to be.

I've got my fingers crossed for any type of good/not-so-bad news. It seems like it can't get a whole lot worse but who knows?
