Late Wednesday evening the Memphis Commercial Appeal reported that during the 2007-08 season, Memphis had been charged with major violations by the NCAA under former coach John Calipari, who left the Tigers in March to take the head coaching job at Kentucky.
The allegations include “knowing fraudulence or misconduct” on an SAT exam by a player on the 2007-08 team and providing $2,260 in free travel to road games for an associate of a player, the Commercial Appeal reported.
There is wide speculation that the player in question is Derrick Rose, who led Memphis to the national title game during his freshman season before being picked No. 1 overall by the Chicago Bulls in the 2008 NBA Draft. MORE >
