You do realize UNCheat only escaped because of a loophole dont you?
Of course he didn't, with the Penny Hardeway Hall of Fame and all. It's just a blind coincidence that it was all in Memphis.
The NCAA is a private organization. Schools become members on a voluntarily basis and agree to abide by the rules and policies established by the NCAA. The courts have no jurisdiction over the NCAA unless it is a matter of discrimination based on race, sex, religion, national origin, etc.
I dont agree with you at all. Both UM and the NCAA are parties to a suit in his court. He has issued a temporary restraining order, he would be within his rights to issue a civil contempt of court order on either if they violated his order. You are simply wrong on this.
That isnt true. If it were, the O'Bannon case wouldn't have us where we are today. You need to read up on lawsuits vs the NCAA more.
You don’t think the plan was already in place to fire Tubby and hire Penny? That seed was planted way before Tubby was fired.
The NCAA wouldn’t dare touch a player from their “pet” schools. A UNC player ADMITTED to academic cheating and to the school promoting it
Jerry Tarkanian took them to court.
I agree except courts are hesitant to get involved with private organizations policies and rules.
Academic fraud requires the school to admit it. The NCAA cant act unilaterally on that, dumb as that is.
If I remember correctly, UNC did admit it at first, then backtracked on the admission.
I wonder if the injunction is a warning shot over the bow of the NCAA,signaling that Memphis isn't going to sit quietly for this to be Derrick Rose 2.0?
Penny gave a million dollars to the university in 2008 so he was considered a booster. It doesn't matter if he was coach or not.
Penny isn't a booster and wasn't labeled as one. He donated once to Memphis and Cal has donated to UK as well. He was also not Memphis' coach when he moved Wiseman's family
Actually he wasn't listed as a booster and Cal has donated to UK. Does that make him a booster?
The school isnt the final arbiter of who is a booster. If they were, no one would be a booster. Please stop, you aren't a stupid poster
Regardless of what anyone thinks, the ncaa labeled him a booster in perpetuity. That's what memphis has to disprove.
Cal hasn’t paid for a player that he is recruiting family to relocate either
Eric Manuel never admitted to fraud on his ACT and the NCAA had no problems with acting on his case.
Would Jeffries want to come here and would we want him?Penny's over-the-top ego is going to get him punted out of college basketball.
It all makes me laugh. Can't wait for the day when DJ Jeffries transfers after Penny is fired.
Burn Memphis...burn....burn...
It’s morbidly comical to me that people in this very thread are actually... defending Penny here?
like Penny didn’t know what he was doing when he shelled out $12k for the Wisemen family lol
like Penny didn’t know what he was doing when he shelled out $12k for the Wisemen family lol
That thread is absurd. He also spins this as some racist motivation. Penny knew what he was doing was a violation regardless of whether he was the coach at Memphis or not. In fact what he did should’ve disqualified him from even coaching Wiseman at the high school level. The point is to eliminate an unfair advantage. The NCAA makes a ton of questionable decisions but this is completely by the book. Penny didn’t do this without benefit to himself. Cal and company spent a ton of time and resources to recruit Wiseman and so did other schools. At a minimum Penny should’ve had to remove himself and Memphis from recruiting Wiseman once he got the job.
Imagine arguing that a guy that donates millions to the school and ends up as your head coach was NOT a booster (and thus allowed to pay high school basketball players) with a straight face. Just imagine being that stupid.
A former player at that.
So if John Wall donates to UK, gives a kid money to buy shoes because his family is poor--and the kid comes to UK when Wall becomes an assistant coach here--we gonna get the all ok? Hell no.
Cal has never donated to us before he was our coach, your thought process is flawed,
Obannon case was a Civil case about Money. Not about Eligibility to play NCAA basketball. Huge difference.
You weren't paying attention to the ongoing context. I didnt equate the cases.
