Step 1: Break the rules. Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit!

So Kelvin Sampson broke NCAA rules, and is still getting paid $750,000 to leave.

That’s obviously money well-deserved.

I’m normally not one to complain about player or coach salaries. The owners/ADs don’t have to pay them that much money if they don’t want to (or don’t have it). But when people like Sampson get paid despite breaking the rules and hurting their employer (Indiana faces NCAA sanctions) and still get rewarded, that’s a problem.

Then again, at least Indiana did fire Sampson. Elsewhere in sports, Isiah Thomas still has a job. Maybe I should go into coaching.
