According to reports, Memphis is facing four Level I and two Level II NCAA violations.
The Daily Memphian obtained the Notice of Allegations and an amended Notice of Allegations. The first case accepted by the IARP in the spring of 2020 was an infraction case involving a former Memphis center.
According to the report, the only person named in the notice of allegations is Memphis head coachPenny Hardaway. Hardaway was involved in at least one of the Level I violations. The NCAA alleges that Hardaway failed to demonstrate that he promoted an atmosphere of compliance within the men's basketball program.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal obtained the documents and reported that the investigation went beyond Wiseman.
The former No. 1 recruit who committed to play for Hardaway and Memphis was suspended for 12 games in November for two violations: his mother accepting $11,500 from Hardaway in the summer of 2017 and him playing in three games while ineligible.
The decision was upheld by the Division I Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement.
The response to the allegations was obtained by The Daily Memphian.
There are allegations of overcharging and non-violations involving the University of Memphis, as well as accusations of a separate sport that has not been charged, and information about UM self-reported and pandemic-related events that the parties had no control over.
The payment was used to cover moving expenses when the family moved from Nashville to Memphis. Hardaway was the head coach at East High School in Tennessee at the time of the alleged payment. Hardaway donated $1 million to Memphis in 2008 to build a sports hall of fame.
After Memphis declared him ineligible, he left one month later to prepare for the NBA draft.
