Rick Greenspan resigns from Indiana

And I think we might fairly say good riddance without having to sticking our necks out all that far.

As the Associated Press reports:

Indiana athletic director Rick Greenspan will resign at the end of December amid new NCAA allegations that the school failed to monitor the men's basketball team. 

And here's a great quote from him:

"I am aware that I have become the focus of criticism, which will continue to distract Indiana University from its core educational mission," Greenspan said in a statement released by the school. "Consequently, I believe a new person will be in a stronger position to lead IU athletics moving forward and it is in IU's best interests for me to stand down."

Yes, that's quite possible.

About Jonathan Tannenwald
I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.

I also occasionally contribute to the Inquirer's women's basketball weblog, Women's Hoops Guru.
