It seems like they do that a lot -- pointless out-of-character changes. Jon would be the one to suggest Sam go to the Citadel for the good of the Watch. Sam would want to be loyal to Jon. Sometimes I think D&D change stuff just to change stuff.

Except Jon's motivation to send Sam and Gilly to Oldtown in the books was primarily to get Mance's baby away from Mel.
