Oh, they also admit that hiring Kelvin Sampson was a mistake:

“Hiring Kelvin Sampson was “a risk that should not have been taken,” Indiana University President Michael McRobbie told the NCAA infractions committee last month at a hearing closed to the public and media.

“No longer can we say that we have had no allegations of major NCAA violations in almost a half a century. And that hurts me and Indiana University even more than the damage that has been done to the program that coach (Tom) Crean has inherited and now has to rebuild.”

If only there had been some way they could have known that Sampson was bad news ahead of time…
