All very true.This right here is exactly the reason I laugh when people say, screw the NCAA, universities should just be able to police themselves...yeah, we can all count on Memphis to do that! One of the most scandalous programs in college basketball is about to be given the green light to take their cheating to another level and people are applauding it. LSU and Memphis have just made it very clear, yeah we cheat, what are you gonna do about it, and it pi$$es me off! So if only Pearl had said screw you NCAA, I gave a kid a sandwich and I’ll sue you if you try to punish me, everything would’ve been peachy? But now that we have possibly the most straight forward coach in the NCAA, cheating is being accepted because it’s being done out in the open and not in some dark alley, like the old days. Unbelievable!
GBO!!
We'll see if the NCAA budges from the original 30% suspension.
Also curious to see if Memphis gets to keep its first two wins.
Yea, that't true. But, that's the norm. I wouldn't give in to the norm. Legal cases are about leverage, and right now, Wiseman has some leverage. People can argue how much, but some of these issues are snowballing on the NCAA, and I do think there is a lot of support for Wiseman. Use the leverage to negotiate an immediate 6 game suspension. Then, if he plays tonight, guess what? The game in Knoxville is his first game back.
You do realize 30% would be 9 games, right? And you just said above 3-9 games?I heard 3 to 9 games he sits. There is an agreement in place with the NCAA. It won't be 30% or whatever it is. They wanted Wiseman to withdraw, to sit him, and then they announce this week. There was no new info. This from an actual booster.
I used to live in Memphis, and my old next door neighbor's youngest son is friends with a janitor at Tiger High, and he swears the NCAA is just going to say this is all a big misunderstanding and they are sorry for any inconveniences wrongly perpetrated against all parties involved.Probably 3 or 5. It won't be 9. They have an agreement in place apparently.
In my opinion, this is about Wiseman getting advice from NBA folks and basically saying you better be careful not to jeopardize those dollars you will be getting next year.Oh, Wiseman and Co. realized they didn’t have quite as much leverage as they thought? This is my surprised face.View attachment 238289
