NCAA Rule Violators Costs University $500,000 In Legal Fees
Indiana University is paying for Kelvin Sampson's tenure as its men's basketball coach -- and the price is still going up.
The university has spent nearly $500,000 in legal fees to lawyers handling allegations of those violations by Sampson and his staff, according to Indiana media reports.
That figure is expected to increase as the university deals with an additional NCAA allegation of failure to monitor the men's basketball program under Sampson.
The Herald-Times of Bloomington and The Indianapolis Star reported that according to the most recent bills -- obtained by the newspapers through public records requests -- the university spent $497,646 on outside legal counsel through July.
Both the Athletic Director and Sampson lost their jobs over these NCAA violations.
The University of Nevada is still under investigation by the NCAA.
The next step in the process is for the University of Nevada to release its Notice of Allegations to the community, donors, student-athletes, and employees. The Notice of Allegations will reveal major violations that athletic department coaches and administrators are accused of.
