The NCAA strikes again.

 

Just hours before the Memphis Tigers matchup against UIC, news broke that the NCAA has ruled Memphis freshman James Wiseman ineligible.

 

Before becoming Memphis head coach, Penny Hardaway paid $11,500 to help Wiseman and his family move from Nashville to Memphis. Wiseman was unaware of Hardaway’s involvement however according to James Wiseman’s lawyer Leslie Ballin, the NCAA feels Penny Hardaway was a booster at the time ruling Wiseman ineligible for the season.

 

Wiseman is playing tonight as Memphis host UIC (Illinois-Chicago) after a Shelby country court paused the NCAA’s decision. Details are still unfolding on when and if the NCAA’s ruling will be upheld.
