The source added that the university hopes to have a news conference in Bloomington to discuss details of Davis' termination as early as Thursday.
According to the source, Davis informed Indiana officials of his decision more than a week ago and Davis' attorney and the university subsequently negotiated the terms of his departure, which were finalized this week.

Davis led the Hoosiers to the NCAA championship game in 2002, where they lost to Maryland, but his support among fans and boosters plummeted as IU failed to qualifty for the NCAA the last two years.
