The NCAA has suspended Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway for the first three games of the upcoming season due to recruiting violations committed during the 2021-22 academic year.

During that season, coaches made two impermissible in-home recruiting visits with a recruit in his junior year. One was done by Hardaway and one was done by an assistant coach.

The suspension was made by a Division I Committee on Infractions panel that reviewed the case.
