The guy is a Tiger High fan. He's obviously trolling. My advice is to IGNORE someone who would come onto our board and use deception. Tiger High is in some deep doodoo.

It's been well established at this point via both local and national sources over the past couple days. The NCAA looks awful here. Regardless of how we feel about Memphis, the NCAA has lost the Nationwide court of public opinion here.

Nationwide court of public opinion? Go ask Vitale and Bilas about that, amongst others. I can assure you that the majority of fans are not for buying off players. Your agenda is apparent.....go away.

this smells like the Michael Oher story all over again...
Ole Miss and boosters got away with it...
this whole thing is going to be a nightmare for the NCAA....
Leslie Balin and company will force the NCAA to show their hand on how they decide who is eligible and who is not and the NCAA does not want to do that....
this whole thing is going to be very interesting moving forward....

Not everyone else on the board Agrees with you. And Vitale just sounds like an old version of the drunk uncle character from SNL at this point

I'm not seeing anything saying he was cleared a second time. Just that he received a notice shortly after he was cleared that it was an error. Six months later the NCAA ruled against him.

It seems like his attorney's main argument here is that Wiseman should be eligible because someone accidentally clicked a button, but there's still a lot of missing info out there.

I've seen that. I don't really think this guy knows all the facts either. Seems like a guy latching onto a story for clout.

One of his arguments that Penny isn't a booster is based on his $1M donation being to the school, not the athletic department. The first article I found (written by UofM) said it was to the AD.

Pretty sure it was to build the Hall of Fame in the athletic department. The argument that Penny wasn’t a booster is not a good one. They are probably going at it with other arguments.

Apparently, this guy is an attorney who has fought the NCAA in a baseball case. Jay Bilas just mentioned it in a radio interview with Gary Parrish.

Bilas was very reasonable. He said that some of these arguments are good but may not hold up in court. He was surprised at the number of people outside Memphis who are in support of Wiseman. He also said he hopes he can watch Wiseman play all year. He did make a point that rival fans (even specifically said UT) certainly have a different perspective that influences their thoughts about it because it’s not their school.

When I thought Wiseman would be out for the year, I thought Memphis should absolutely fight it tooth and nail.

A Seth Davis article I read on the Athletic made it sound like the punishment would be 9-10 games (30% of season based on penalty matrix) before the lawsuit. I would take that in a heartbeat to get the NCAA out of town.

Listen folks, I am a Vol fan and my blood bleeds orange, but it’s looking like the NCAA has a huge problem with this ruling. I’ve been following this pretty closely and the problem really does appear to be that all of the facts surrounding the $11,500 travel expense payment were hashed out in 2017 when the TSSAA challenged Wiseman’s eligibility at East HS. This information was known to be public record in May when the NCAA ruled Wiseman eligible for Memphis then. So for them to come back and say, “oh, our bad, we didn’t do our homework as well as we probably should have the first time around” is just not going to hold up in court. Say what you want to about Penny Hardaway, but Wiseman has a strong case and a damn good lawyer. This is also happens to be bad timing for the NCAA. So here is my prediction. This whole fight will end up going to trial, which will be months to a year before it is settled. In the meantime, Memphis will play with Wiseman all the way to and into the NCAA tournament. By the time a decision is made, he will be a lottery pick. And so what if Memphis has to vacate wins? Do you guys really believe Memphis and their fans care anyway?

Hypothetical: If this was the Vols and we had a choice between not making the NCAA tournament or at best being a 1st/2nd round tourney loser vs being making it to the Final Four team, which later vacates wins and a banner, which would you choose right now?
