Message: [QUOTE="Mike9904111, post: 3322565, member: 10239"] Personally I am in Wiseman's corner here. Could care less about Memphis and whatever happens to them or their fans. I think he/his lawyers make a valid argument. I don't think Memphis cheated to get players, Penny did that when he was the basketball coach of an AAU team and a high school; however, I do think the Wiseman commitment pushed other recruits to Memphis. So this ultimately affects a lot of kids, which is my concern as not just a huge basketball fan but also an adult who has watched the NCAA profit off of these kids for years and billions of dollars. I get the non-profit argument, but salaries and other perks NCAA big wigs get says otherwise. 1. Precious 2. Quinones 3. Boogie Ellis I don't think either of them commits to Memphis without Wiseman there. Once the NCAA declared him eligible and from I gather twice. Then it should have been over and done with. Wiseman should have either been declared ineligible the first time since they admit they made an error they certainly should have made him ineligible the second go around, but instead stated, "They will honor the eligible verdict." Wiseman could have played somewhere else, or could have made money overseas somewhere. Precious would have gone elsewhere *cough* UConn *cough*. (Well, maybe). Quinones would've probably gone to Indiana or Maryland and Boogie probably would have stayed committed to Duke. This whole thing is a mess and no good for anyone. I have watched time and time again as UNC, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, and several others have gotten away with offenses worse than this. I have watched these programs reel in kid after kid after kid and it didn't make sense. I hope for college basketball's sake and kids everywhere Wiseman at least gets money out of the NCAA for this even if he never plays another game at the college level. [/QUOTE]
