NCAA alleges major violations in Memphis basketball program under Calipari
By Dan Wolken (Contact), Memphis Commercial Appeal
The University of Memphis is in the process of responding to an NCAA notice of allegations charging the men’s basketball program with major violations during the 2007-08 season under John Calipari.
The allegations include “knowing fraudulence or misconduct” on an SAT exam by a player on the 2007-08 team.
The wording of the report seems to indicate the player in question only competed during the 2007-08 season and specifically the 2008 NCAA tournament. The player’s name was redacted in the report, obtained by The Commercial Appeal through the Freedom of Information Act, due to privacy laws.
The player has subsequently denied the charge, according to university personnel.
The only player on the roster who competed only during that season was Derrick Rose, who subsequently was the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft last June.
If proven to be true, the Tigers could be forced to forfeit their NCAA-record 38 victories and Final Four appearance.
The report does not include allegations of lack of institutional control, meaning Memphis would likely avoid serious penalties that would have an impact on the program going forward. The report includes no allegations that would have occurred during the tenure of Josh Pastner, either as an assistant or head coach.
Memphis, which received the notice of allegations Jan. 16, is scheduled to appear before the NCAA Committee on Infractions June 6.
Calipari, who left Memphis for Kentucky on March 31, is not named in the report.
It is also alleged that Memphis provided $2,260 in free travel to road games for an associate of a player. Those names also were redacted in the report due to privacy laws.
“We take it very seriously. We don’t condone it,” said athletic director R.C. Johnson, who declined to comment in detail about the allegations. “We’re doing a thorough investigation.”
Johnson said the university of “still working” on its response to the NCAA notice of allegations.

Sad to say, the Scourge of Humanity (Kige) is correct.

They've dug their own grave on this one....there isn't a sports fan out there that doesn't know what Cal is all about.

You agree with what Kige is implying? That Cal is completely innocent in this? You're probably right....after all, what would Calipari have known about Derrick Rose's recruitment?

kige you are not retarded.
heres the deal though, cal does not care about kentucky, the fans, the kids, or anything other than himself. he has a track record of this.
no he may not go down with memphis on these violations, but as his track record has shown kentucky is next.

I don't think that Memphis will do anything other than forfeit games.
And no, I don't think that ALL coaches are dirty.
Only a great deal of them are.

Rose cheats on SAT? Cal knowingly turns his head?
Rose @ Chicago. Cal @ Kentucky
Kids at Memphis get punished. If the NCAA really wants to curb the cheating they would punish those guilty of the crimes.

The irony is that most of the penalties will affect Josh Pastner, who wasn't even at Memphis at the time this stuff occurred. The way the NCAA punishes the schools, but not the coaches (except in a handful of circumstances), is one of their many inconsistencies.
Hopefully this will make the NCAA look at UK even more over the next few years and when Cal breaks some rules at UK, hopefully he will get the Kelvin Sampson treatment.

Cal's old school, Memphis, gets in trouble.
Cal's new school, Kentucky, gets sued.
Both in the same day. Weird.

IMO this shite and the penalties should follow a coach...this would legitimately prevent other schools from hiring guys unless they wanted to suffer the consequences, thus making the penalties much larger and actually being a deterrent to said coaches
eta: if the coaches are proven to be involved of course

The NCAA can't do anything to Rose at this point.
They can hit Cal, but he can claim that he had no knowledge. The NCAA lacks subpoena power, so there is little more that they can do other than slap Memphis on the wrist.
