A lot of people have said this before. |
Basically we found tonight that our backup system wasn't nearly as fast as our primary system. That caused a slowness at the ticket window. I'm sorry for all of those who were affected, but I thank them all for making the decision to come to the game. |
Certainly, our budget has been stressed. |
For the last five days, both schools have been working on the travel logistics, because the safety and well-being of the Nicholls' student-athletes, coaches, staff and fans is the top priority. Upon Nicholls' arrival and throughout their stay, we plan to show them the best in Hoosier Hospitality. |
Frequently, gifts of this magnitude go to naming buildings or to give the donor visibility on campus. But this is a very unique gift. |
He has been well received because he's genuine, ... He's not resume building. He's not looking for the next job. He's more like 'I want to make this a great program and I'm going to put my energy into it.' |
I came all the way from Alabama to play for coach Davis. With him not here, I feel like it will be tough to play. I don't think I'm coming back next year. |
I can't talk about it. All I can say is that people need to hang in there. |
I get e-mails between media timeouts. |
I think if I started selectively indicating who I spoke to and what they said, and what they didn't say, I think I've hindered a part of the process.

I just don't do business that way. |
I thought I was fairly specific when I talked (with Davis) about ambitious and achievable goals and competing in the Big Ten, and competing in the NCAA Tournament. |
I will begin to turn my attention to identifying the strongest possible candidates to serve as the next head basketball coach at IU. I will seek the advice and counsel of a great many, scour the country and eventually bring recommended candidates forward to the president. |
I'll talk about anything. So long as it's not basketball coaches. |
I'm really proud of Mike and the way he has handled the last month. He has shown a tremendous amount of class and integrity, and I think he has shown his true colors. I just wish him the best in whatever he does and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. |
Is it (the NCAA trouble) a red flag? Absolutely. If it was a chronic history during his career, absolutely I would be concerned, and I'm still concerned as it is. And I had to overcome that, as did other people. But he (Sampson) stated it: He made a mistake. He's not hiding it. |
