Smelling Like A Rose? Memphis Can't Find Proof Of SAT Cheating

[HT/WREG.com]
A 500 page report was released today, outlining the University of Memphis' response to an NCAA investigation into the basketball and women's golf programs.

The NCAA report alleges a former Tiger player (believed to be Derrick Rose) had someone else take his SAT.

The University's report indicates there is not enough information or evidence to determine if there were any violations regarding Rose.

Here's one excerpt from the report:"The University does not have sufficient information to conclude that (redacted) engaged in unethical conduct in regard to a (redacted) taking of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Specifically, the University has no knowledge that (redacted) did not complete the SAT entrance examination. Accordingly, the University does not know whether the information included in the allegation is substantially correct and is unable to conclude whether a violation of the cited NCAA regulations has occurred."

University officials will go before an NCAA committee Saturday. Former coach John Calipari is expected to take part via telephone.
