Several fans believe it was Cal and Gary Parrish, or Coach K over Boogie Ellis, or possibly even Tubby Smith since he would have known about the move in 2017. Gary released an article stating James may be ineligible after the first exhibition game. Then the University of Memphis released a statement that stated he was eligible. He was slammed for his article and made to look like a fool. Since that point, he has gone out of his way to discredit Memphis and even acted like an ass on CBS during the Veterans Classic. (Saw that myself). Cal was incredibly pissed. There were a bunch of Kentucky fans many say are "insiders" that Cal was mad at Penny because he "betrayed" him. Cal would have known about the 2017 move as well as Kentucky was the 100% favorite until Penny took over at Memphis. Coach K would also be able to figure some stuff out as well regarding that, and since it was reported. In any of the above scenarios, all of the above to include Tubby Smith could have threatened to blow the whistle on the situation if the NCAA didn't declare him ineligible. I don't know if any of this is true, or if Memphis fans are reaching, but that's why it is a VERY strange situation. As I stated the NCAA has never done anything like this before without "new" evidence. There is zero new evidence which leads many to believe something is going on behind the scenes. [/QUOTE]
