I don't understand this penalty. How is the family supposed to pay 12k if they did not have 12k to move in the first place? They are going to have to do something shady (per NCAA) just to get the 12k.

And how is the penalty for a booster giving 12k to a recruit's family simply "sit for 12 games and give a 12k donation to a charity".

My understanding is merely being a school contributor or booster meets the standard. You do not need to be an alum although that is prime facie evidence.


You are correct.

Wonder if anything is going to happen to the coach or is he off scot free?

I think in regards to this the "he wasn't coach at the time" defense will actually work. Wiseman's violation is exclusively in regards to Penny being a booster - not a coach - and boosters aren't generally within NCAA's scope of punishment.

I'm selfishly kind of disappointed Memphis didn't try going scorched earth on the NCAA, but this is almost definitely the better result for Memphis and the AAC.

Looks like the Wiseman family might have to take a loan from Penny to pay this fine!

And now Wiseman is leaving Memphis to focus on the draft.

Three more games than Mudiay. (to be clear, the Mudiay that was drafted into the NBA - not the other one, who probably did play 3 games for us)

And now comes the pain . . ..

When Memphis challenged the eligibility of their BigMan, they probably counted on potentially the pluses to having him for the remainder of the season. That included, a possible national championship and an immediate return to relevancy.

Now that he is gone, Memphis must still deal with what will be considered a major infraction by then booster, Penny Hardaway. I could see Memphis getting multi-year sanctions similar to SMU's for its defiance.

Like Keith Frazier, only time will tell if he was worth the risk/headache/pain.

Doubt it. NCAA new everything from the beginning, declaring him eligible and then (for an unknown reason) re-evaluating and declaring him ineligible. There was never any attempt to hide the facts.
