Not the report that I saw.
Do you have a link??
I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying I'd like to see it. From what I saw it fell into the category of strict liability, so there wasn't really much of an investigation at all. They never accused Calipari of anything, and they acknowledged that Memphis did not knowingly break any rules in regards to eligibility.
I also think what they got kind of reflects that. If you knowingly use an ineligible player for an entire season, you're pretty much done. You're not just vacating wins and paying money back. You're looking at lengthy postseason bans and probably a reduction of games that you're allowed to play. None of that happened to Memphis. If I'm not mistaken the NCAA even waived the $500 fine per game that you're supposed to pay if you use an ineligible player. They had to pay back the tournament money, but they weren't fined $500 dollars on top of that for every game he played in.
