Back on January 16, 2009 the NCAA sent Memphis a notice of allegations charging the men's basketball program with major violations during the 2007-08 season. That team was coached by John Calipari and went to the NCAA title game losing to Kansas.
The NCAA is alleging that a prospective player became eligible after an "unknown individual" completed his SAT. That player played during the 1007-08 season and participated in the 2008 NCAA men's basketball tournament.
That players name was redacted in the NCAA report, You can read the NCAA notice of allegations here. According to the university spokesman that player has denied the charge.
The only Memphis player that fits that profile from the NCAA notice was Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls.
By the way, you won't see John Calipari's name on this report, he appears to be in the clear.
You can read Wolken's story in the Memphis Commercial Appeal right here.
