An offer Cameron cannot refuse

By Scott Powers · Friday, Oct. 13,2000 1:25 a.m.

Cam Cameron has probably not been a betting man in recent years. Still, (in my "Godfather" voice) here is one offer he cannot refuse.

Simply win and I shut up. On the other hand, if the Hoosiers lose, it continues to be an open hunting season.
