Memphis Tigers to Vacate 38-win Season

Quote:
Memphis will be forced to vacate the NCAA-record 38 victories from its Final Four season of 2007-08 under former coach John Calipari because of NCAA violations, several sources told ESPN.com.

The NCAA Committee on Infractions will announce its findings in a 3 p.m. ET conference call from Indianapolis. Dr. Shirley Raines, president of Memphis, told The Associated Press the school will hold its own media conference shortly afterward.

In May, the NCAA accused Memphis of several major infractions under Calipari, including a fraudulent SAT score by a player, later revealed to be Derrick Rose, and more than $2,000 in free travel provided to Rose's brother, Reggie.

A source said the current Memphis program will not be penalized and will escape a postseason ban or loss of scholarships.

Memphis originally received the notice of allegations on Jan. 16 and appeared before the committee in June. The main academic allegation against Rose is that someone stood in for him during the SAT, even though the NCAA Eligibility Center later cleared Rose to play.

Calipari, Memphis' coach at the time of the alleged infractions who is now the head coach of Kentucky, told ESPN.com's Andy Katz on Wednesday that he wasn't aware the report would be released Thursday.

I do not care if they cheated or not, that was one of the greatest NC games ever I have seen.

Re: Memphis Tigers to Vacate 38-win Season

Who cares? We still remember the Fab Five and all of their accomplishments despite all of those wins being "vacated". Such a fake punishment.

Re: Memphis Tigers to Vacate 38-win Season

This has always been a pretty stupid punishment...as if it erases a season from the public's consciousness. I guess it hurts the university that they can't advertise it around campus..but Cal is gone as well as most of the the important players on that team, and all they had was their memories anyway.

Re: Memphis Tigers to Vacate 38-win Season

You call it a lack of institutional control and you fix it so that everyone knows you'll make them regret it if they engage in academic cheating.This thing probably isn't over either.Someone has to explain why Rose was admitted to Memphis on a test score he got in Detroit...Someone else is involved in that aside from Derrick Rose.Who does he know in Detroit who could arrange for someone else to take his SAT?Calipari definitely knows people in Detroit...And not particularly savory people either.

You wonder if some nosey person in federal government might not look at this and decide it looked like interstate fraud.The fact that it occurred in two states makes it a more serious issue legally.

Only team punished here is the Longhorns who lost to the Tigers that year...
