A yearslong NCAA infractions investigation into the University of Memphis basketball program came to an end today after an Independent Accountability Resolution Process (IARP) ruling found the university committed four Level II and five Level III violations. The men’s basketball program faces three years of probation, $5,000 in fines and must vacate two wins in which former star player James Wiseman participated. The investigation stemmed from inducements Wiseman’s family received before he enrolled at Memphis and for NCAA allegations that he played in three games while ineligible. The ordeal prompted Wiseman to file for a temporary restraining order against the NCAA in 2019. He later dropped the suit and withdrew from Memphis to prepare for the NBA draft. He currently plays for the Golden State Warriors. The Commercial Appeal has more on the story.
