Wow, looks like Penny and assistants paid for Wiseman & Family to move to Memphis. Makes you wonder what else happened in Memphis with recruiting.
Wiseman from Memphis Ineligible

Good to see the NCAA fight back a little bit against those who would make a mockery of college basketball. I wish they would do it a lot more.
What did James Wiseman do wrong that he should be punished?
Anyone?
If a coach commits a violation - and this "violation" occurs before PH was an NCAA coach - the player sits.
Because that makes sense..
Who made these jacked up rules?

Maybe the thing to do is allow a kid to take out a loan directly from the NCAA up to 2 years prior to arrival as a bet on his own future. Interest and payments withheld for 7 years before being required to make payments. That would mean a hardship kid could take out $30k just to get him through high school, then he would need to succeed in college or make the NBA/professional leagues thereafter in order to pay it off.
Make the loan incremental and interest based and let any student athlete take one out. The rest though- it is up to all parties involved to not break the rules.
Then, ultimately, if they wanted to consider allowing school athletics departments to co-sign, at least it would all be in writing and documented and the kids have some protections against default as an under-aged borrower.

Universities probably shouldn't be involved in the entertainment industry and pimping out their "students" for revenue.. The farce of calling the major players amateurs - while they are the main commodity in a billion dollar industry - is where the problem starts and ends.
That's why I asked the question. I thought that perhaps you had some information about IU to share.
The string of events looked bad so the NCAA needed to find a rule that was broken. The booster rule is handy for a lot of things.
They don't have a rule for a coach paying for a family to move 6 months before he takes a job in the city he moved them to. But. they probably do now.
The university would be absorbing the risk in a loan situation and of course would require a kid to sign with that school so that they could co-sign for the high school loan. The money stays above the table, and the NCAA tracks it all, and the true pimps, like the agent Nerlens Noel had at 14, they lose out because a kid has a chance to take a legitimate gmable on themselves if they think they are good enough at such a young age. With a loan, there would be no excuse for coaches and shoe guys steering additional funds-though some might try, and a kid could rest assured that they could have the funds to at least get to their free meal ticket that college is, and then never worry about student loans other than the athletic loan.
Heck, it doesn't have to be NCAA sanctioned, but the NCAA would need to know that legit underwriters were embedded. If IU wanted to have one of their radio sponsor banks do all the athletic loans, so be it.
Then if the kid decides to bail, he starts making payments after graduation (or 5yrs time), with a fixed interest that is fair.
Sounds pretty good to me.
exactly. guys like this should never have to go to college in the first place.
Kansas should get hammered by the NCAA.
They got busted by the FBI.
$ Bill is going to be fired and likely banned from the NCAA.
Kansas may get the NCAA Death Penalty for total lack of institutional Control and for being unrepentant and flaunting it.
Snoop Dog money canon to Kansas recruits and strippers on poles, $ Bill in promo video with $ Bill logo expensive Gold Chains while wearing an Adidas T-Shirt, gives two big middle fingers to the NCAA.

But this was when he moved to Memphis to play for Penny in high school, not at the University.
