I snapped a few pictures from before it started so I'll post those here (forgive the weak quality, I was using a camera phone). (link)

RUMORS AND RANTS had a seat at the IU press conference circus in Bloomington yesterday and sends photo evidence of ESPN.com’s Pat Forde not capitalizing on his star power. The senior staffer got a seat behind a huge photographer likely paying double for a Southwest Airlines ticket. The bad seat didn’t prevent Forde from getting his story. IU is a mess and will now rely on Bobby Knight -wannabe Dan Dakich to rescue the program from these dark days. The first Dakich-run practice didn’t go too well. Six players failed to show. Forde has a solution to the dissent: “ ...

Grow up, DJ White

Just because Sampson shows up at practice every day and tells you that you're a unique and special snowflake, doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants without consequences. He broke the rules, and now he has to (sort of) pay for it.
