NEW YORK -- As interim head coach Mike Davis walked off the court at Madison Square Garden at halftime with IU down 42-22 against Texas, he was looking at the floor and loosening his tie.

An open letter to the NCAA

By John Koluder · Monday, Nov. 27,2000 1:44 a.m.

To whom it may concern, Greetings from lovely Bloomington.

I know that the only factors you care about are money, exposure and money. And once I lay down the following facts, I believe that even the NCAA (whoops, that's you) will see the pattern of bias that has been shown against the Hoosiers by your selection committee during the past two weeks.
