Ind. Gov't. - IU's legal bills for Sampson issues are $203K so far
Mark Alesia reports this morning in the Indianapolis Star:
Indiana University's athletic department spent $203,000 through March on outside legal fees connected to allegations of NCAA rules violations by former men's basketball coach Kelvin Sampson and his staff.The legal bills were obtained Wednesday through a public records request by The Star.
IU spokesman Larry MacIntyre said the school has not yet been billed for work beyond March. But there likely will be additional legal charges connected to IU's lengthy written response to NCAA allegations, filed earlier this month, and its appearance at an infractions committee hearing June 13 in Seattle.
The expenses through March included $178,000 to the Indianapolis firm Ice Miller. The firm conducted an investigation and prepared a report to the NCAA in October 2007 about infractions IU discovered last summer.
