BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Indiana University President Michael McRobbie sent a tough message to the athletic department this week: It's time for Hoosier athletes to shape up or they may be on their way out.
On Wednesday, Glass' annual football kickoff luncheon was upended by growing consternation over an 18-month series of legal issues involving football and men's basketball players. The most recent chapter occurred over the weekend when two basketball players were arrested for illegal possession of an alcoholic beverage, raising the ire of fans, administrators and McRobbie.
"I want to see the world-class accomplishments of our faculty and students celebrated, as well as the accomplishments of our student-athletes," McRobbie told the coaches Tuesday.
