It's odd they admitted it, because if they didn't.. they likely would have had no issues. The Ncaa cleared him twice! Why wouldnt they play him?

Even this is a little misleading. In reality, Memphis basically admitted to playing someone who had their test score invalidated after the fact. Which, they did. But, they also stated that they did not knowingly break any rules, and the NCAA agreed.

I really don't know what else to compare it to, but it would sort of be like going to an art gallery, buying a piece of art and having it authenticated, and then a year later when you go to resell it you learn that it's actually not authentic. You did your due diligence, but still ended up getting screwed.

Had Memphis not admitted it, the same thing would have probably happened. The only way it would have been avoided would have been to get the ETS to revalidate the score. It wasn't their fault. No one really thinks of it as being their fault (well, other than those who simply want to say it's their fault). But, they were still completely S.O.L.
