Wiseman ineligible for Memphis
-
Think Penny Hardaway helping family move to Memphis- -Local Sports said NCAA said Hardaway has been declared a Booster - Helping move Wiseman in 2018 - -story on ESPN also - -Wiseman is out for this year anyways at Memphis - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
The NCAA is such trash.
-
He got a lot more than help moving. Looks like Memphis is Nike’s fall guy.
-
Yea, I don’t feel bad for him in this case. There is no doubt he got tons of money from Penny. There have been rumors floating around about this for months.
-
@Woodrow Eh, kids that want to play in college should be able to. NCAA needs to get a grip before doing what RJ did becomes the norm. If the NBA gets soccer style academies going like they want that will be the end of it anyway.
-
Just heard that Penny and Wiseman are in a Federal Courthouse right now trying to get an temporary injunction on this. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well if this sticks - -Wiseman NBA lottery anyways soo this is just really another case - -won’t hurt the kid - - just the School
-
@jayballer73 Looks like Penny found a friendly judge.
Memphis just got a temporary “emergency” restraining order to let Wiseman play tonight.
-
@jayballer73 it hurts him in that he can’t play basketball on a big stage this year. Just sucks all around imo.
-
Would’ve helped Selby’s draft stock.

Wish Bill could’ve found one for Silvio last year.
-
@jayballer73 I’m surprised
-
@nwhawkfan we played nice instead. Memphis has their middle fingers in the air.
-
Well Wiseman & Memphis is on ESPNU right now. - -Tipping off. right now. - - - Just 37 minutes after declared in-eligible - got his emergency injunction from local judge lol - now starting lmao
-
Proof that the rules dont apply to all
-
The announcer saying that this is a joke - -Penny helped Wiseman and High School Coach move two years ago - - saying there was no way that Penny knew he was going to be the Coach at that time or that Wiseman would end up there - - lmao.
Penny paid for food and expenses 2 years ago - they trying to pull the line of crap saying penny wasn’t even the coach of Memphis 2 years ago - -had no idea that he would be. 1,0000 of dollars they said - -talking about this rule needs changed - -an changed now - -talking saying look we have Coach’s out there right now blatently with wire tap paying guys and nothing - yet Wiseman get ruled in-eligible immediately - not right roflmao.
-
Memphis just killin these guys - -BUT that team is also missing 4 of it’s major players - -one hurt - - one team violation - -can’t remember the other two
Boogie Ellis for Memphis 18 points - -6 - -three pointers in the 1 st half – Wiseman 5 blocks in the 1st half 6 rebounds.
Got a question soooo, they got temp injunction from Local Judge - -hmmm wonder if Judge is big Memphis fan lmao/Booster/ lmao ? - But I wonder if in the end they find that Penny was a Booster - -and makes Wiseman in-eligible - - do they have to forfeit games he played in an face sanctions?
-
I amshocked a judge in Memphis sided with the local university
-
The NCAA isn’t pulling any punches. Gave Memphis a warning shot. They’ll unload the cannons on Memphis if the court allows.

Exactly. - - -The NCAA just released it’s statement. - - NCAA saying Memphis was notified that James Wiseman maybe in-eligible ,Memphis chose to play Wiseman it was stated. - -Memphis is being held responsible for making sure Student athletics are eligible - -LOOK THE HELL OUT
-
Hmm… obviously Hardaway was a booster because he donated money to athletics before that. And he provided moving expenses afterward. What in the world???

they gonna try and come out and say - - Penny wasn’t even the Coach at Memphis when he helped them move - - -he was still high school coach

Disregarding NCAA concerns about Rose cost Memphis their F4 appearance and the rest of their wins in 2008.
Short memories on that campus?
-
@jayballer73 Yeah, and the NCAA will no like, bet on that. Goodbye Penny…!

Memphis showing middle finger to NCAA, “Come Get Us”

Regardless of the court ruling on the restraining order, Memphis had a choice as to whether to play him as is always the case with any player, whether ruled eligible or not. Memphis is still responsible for playing him (to the NCAA). The judge can’t force Memphis to play him.
From ESPN, "The NCAA issued a statement Friday night in response to Wiseman’s appearance in the game, saying, ‘The University of Memphis was notified that James Wiseman is likely ineligible. The university chose to play him and ultimately is responsible for ensuring its student-athletes are eligible to play.’ "
Clearly Hardaway was a booster. The issue though, and I think this is important to remember, the NCAA was not made aware of this issue when it made its initial eligibility determination. My guess is that if they were up front about the assistance, it might have been a different discussion.
-
It seems nuts to me. Isn’t Memphis risking their season X’d from the books? I see Penny and Memphis being a short relationship and then we will be back in Memphis snagging talent again.
-
Wiseman is ineligible and will be held out until resolved.
-
KU eligibility issues- resolved in 6 to 12 months
Nike eligibility issues (including the #1 recruit/potential 2020 1st pick in NBA draft)- resolved in 24 hours.
How accurate will this be?

Wait ? what ? - -Wiseman just played. - - - Again against Oregon
-
@jayballer73 came out late this morning that Memphis ruled him ineligible and is holding him out until there is ruling from the NCAA

I think you’re way off here. I think it will take them at least 72 hours on Wiseman.
-
They are talking a 9 game suspension for Wiseman. Penny gave Memphis $1,000,000 for a building and he doesn’t think he’s a booster.
️ Why exactly did Silvio get 2 years?!? It’s not like Memphis has been more cooperative than Kansas with the ncaa. Crazy inconsistencies with the NCAA. Idk Maybe the speculation is wrong.

finally understanding that they are just trying to save their ass from the NCAA
-
@dylans In Silvio’s case, they seem to have held him accountable for his guardian shopping him around and accepting money to go to 2 different schools. Even if it was technically just the $2,500 for extra courses.
-
@mayjay Yeah, it’s no good. But to me it would seemingly be worse if your coach is the one to hand out the cash. And then to play the player a couple more games before sitting him is really disrespectful. I’ll save future indignation until the punishment is handed down.
-
@dylans “I’ll save future indignation until the punishment is handed down.”
Don’t take off venting your spleen for too long. You need to go through preliminary indignation practice before the proceedings begin so that you are in full-bore shape when it counts.
-
Not playing for Memphis today.

It doesn’t matter, the damage is done. Pretty stupid of them to play a guy who was ruled ineligible - they will pay dearly for it.
-
Coach needs to be punished and not the player.
-
Guess Penny is realizing about now that he’s not Coach K.
-
So he is officially suspended for 12 games having already sat 1, he has 11 to go. He also is ordered to pay $11,000 to charities. Very interesting to say the least, NIKE pulls strings with the NCAA again.
-
No one is surprised this was taken care of quickly.
Free SILVIO
-
The NCAA is realizing that their stranglehold of control on basketball talent is starting to slip away, and if they don’t update their rules fairly quickly, they will be rendered irrelevant, and ultimately, broke.
Remember, while conferences get money from football, the NCAA does not. They are almost entirely dependent on men’s basketball for revenue (makes up between 85% and 90% of total revenue). Put simply, if the NCAA tournament is devalued in any way, the NCAA loses a large chunk of their overall revenue because the men’s tournament is worth so much to them.
Beware of the basketball academies coming after 2022. That could be the final nail.

So does he come up w/the
