James Wiseman ineligible

[RoyalShock]

[Shock Top]

Actually was looking forward to seeing him in Koch.

Would have been a good challenge for WSU.

[Maizerunner08]

Well, we won’t see him first time around. Would have been cool to see possibly a top NBA pick in the Chuck though...

[RoyalShock]

The NCAA added 3 games to the 9-game suspension, probably due to Memphis playing him anyway.

[Cdizzle]

I'll believe it when I see it.

At least as it stands right now, it's more than Clev had to sit out.

[Shox The Revenant]

Welp, I figured he'd be cleared 12/1. Oh well. If this was WSU, the NCAA would've given us the death penalty.

[Kung Wu]

What's the basis for the suspension?

[Cdizzle]

What's the basis for the suspension?

Taking $11k from a Memphis booster? Plus maybe a couple games for continuing to play after the NCAA said he was ineligible. This is pretty cut and dry stuff. I don't understand the pity-party. Quit cheating. If WSU did this, we would no longer have an athletic department.

I'll go ahead and guarantee right now that Wiseman is eligible for the WSU game.

[WheatShock]

Memphis has already announced they are appealing.

You mean if you take $11k from a booster you are only ineligible for a little while?

[Dan]

Penny recruiting a player he knowingly paid in high school should warrant some sort of discipline on the coach. I don’t get it.

Yes, but apparently our coach can pay players and not suffer any consequences. The precedents are being set.

Depends mightily on the name of the school.

[1972Shocker]

You mean if you take $11k from a booster you are only ineligible for a little while?

Apparently, about a $1,000 per game. Although who really believes Wiseman (or his family) only cleared $11k.

[Kung Wu]

Well hell, if it only costs $11k to get the number one prospect in the country ... and you only lose 9 games or so ...
