The Witness Protection Program

If Indiana fans knew the name of the intern who first noticed Kelvin Sampson's illegal calls, how many of them would write him or her a nasty note and/or threaten their well being?

Unfortunately, I'd guess more than one.

The process through which the Hoosiers discovered Sampson's rule breaking raises an interesting question: How many college sports department interns around the country notice a violation, but fail to report it, either for fear or retribution or because of their allegiance to the university?

My educated guess would be many, many more than one.

Just proves (none / 0)

Just proves that too many people take college basketball way too seriously. Some people need to know that these college kids only use college basketball only to climb into the NBA. I think though that over 75% of these interns don't turn anything in.
