Cheaters never prosper? Au contraire


Kelvin Sampson cheats at Oklahoma, putting the hurt on the Sooners, then cheats at Indiana, nearly destroying that program. His punishment? An $800,000 “go-away-but-don’t-sue-us” package and a job as an assistant with the Milwaukee Bucks.

At Southern California, Tim Floyd allegedly not only looks the other way as money and other goodies are funneled to star guard O.J. Mayo, he reportedly acts as his own bagman in laying a cool thousand in cash on a Mayo associate. As a result, the Trojans might get hammered by the NCAA — an investigation is ongoing — but Floyd already has landed on his feet with an assistant’s job with the New Orleans Hornets.

The NBA Cares — about dirty coaches. Talk about your old-boy network.
