The NCAA ruled that Memphis star freshman James Wiseman will not be eligible until January 12th and ordered that Wiseman must also donate the amount of money ($11,500) that Penny Hardaway paid for him and his family to move to Memphis, to a charity of his choice.
We all hate the NCAA, and they did screw Wiseman here as much as Penny Hardaway screwed Wiseman, but it’s probably the right call to rule him ineligible because it is an NCAA violation.
However, that doesn’t stop Jay Williams from acting like a dork and starting up a GoFundMe for James Wiseman, raising money for his donation to a charity.
