Kelvin Sampson and Indiana University officials will defend themselves in front of the NCAA Committee on Infractions today and tomorrow. While they're in Seattle, new coach Tom Crean will be drawing up plays for his only remaining scholarship player, who's home in Detroit for the summer.
Presumably, few athletes would favor leaving the professional ranks to return to their college days. But some probably should. Today, Uncoached makes the suggestion to former Dukie Shavlik Randolph. Guess those 0.9 ppg simply aren't cutting it.
Coming Soon: Big East Lax
The Big East is forming a new men's lacrosse league, and 10-time national champion Syracuse (currently an independent) will join. The league will start competing in spring 2010.

Loyal readers, your lesson of the day is: don't lie about things that a simple Google search can prove false. Chicago State University announced its intention to keep interim baseball coach Husain Mahmoud on board, only to later find out Mahmoud lied about numerous biographical facts -- like being drafted by the Reds in the 30th round of the 1971 MLB draft.
