Virginia: Deadbeat Cav



Deadbeat Cav: Former Virginia superstar Ralph Sampson owes more than $300,000 in child support for two teenage daughters. He has failed to pay $1,500 a month per child for apparently a very long time. He agreed to a plea bargain that will allow him to avoid jail time and fines. His lawyer said Sampson spent most of the summer raising funds to pay the child support. According to financial records, Sampson earned $500,000 in 1999, but his income dropped to $12,000 in 2001. An All-American at Virginia, Sampson was one of the most dominating players in ACC history. He was the No. 1 draft choice in the 1983 NBA Draft and played nine years in the NBA, averaging 15.4 points per game.
