BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - Indiana University will not request a
second hearing in front of the NCAA infractions committee. Instead,
IU will send a written response to the NCAA's newest allegation of
failing to monitor the men's basketball program.
Indiana has until September 17th to file a response.
The allegation is the latest twist in IU's telephone scandal
that led to the departure of basketball coach Kelvin Sampson, a
reorganization of the athletic department and the resignation at
the end of this year of athletic director Rick Greenspan.
A decision was expected by the NCAA this summer, but the new
charge of failure to monitor forced a delay. Now, by sending a
written response rather than appearing in front of the infractions
committee, the case might be settled before the basketball season
opens in November.
