You do understand the Wiseman's lawyer cannot make the decision to play Wiseman, only the University can. Could a player sue the school for not getting enough playing time and then force the coach to play him more?

Bottom line....by playing Wiseman, Memphis just publicly challenged the NCAA's authority.  It may be a understandable challenge based on the NCAA's inconsistent and corrupt applications of the rules but it is still a very public insubordination.

My guess is Memphis will pay a heavy price even if its action leads to the long term weakening of the NCAA. The NCAA isn't going to surrender its authority without a fight. Memphis may see this an "existential threat" to its program but the NCAA will see this as an "existential threat" to its authority.

As for Wiseman, when has it ever been about the individual athlete?  Wiseman may or may not be a sympathetic figure but the outcome won't be decided by what is in his best interests.  Hell, his best interests would have been playing in the NBA right now and not having to pretend to go to college.
