Bluegrass Hoops Report

From the Associated Press via SI.com comes news that Memphis has announced after an internal investigation they have found no proof that a former player cheated on his SAT exam.

Because of these findings, they say they should be allowed to keep the 2007-08 season in their record books, which included a trip to the Final Four and an epic overtime loss to Kansas in the National Championship game.

From the Memphis report detailing their investigation into the NCAA allegations: "Certainly, the University of Memphis should not suffer a financial penalty or vacation of records for the 2008 NCAA tournament as a result of this allegation..."

While most names were redacted from the school report, an attorney for former Memphis point guard Derrick Rose, who was widely believed to be the player in question for allowing a stand-in to take his SAT, has come out and acknowledged that his client cooperated with the NCAA on a similar investigation while still at school.

The AP article goes on to say that Memphis will present its findings to the NCAA Infractions Committee on Saturday in Indianapolis and that former Memphis coach John Calipari is expected to participate by phone from China.

The school report also states that they have encouraged the player (Rose) to cooperate with the investigation, but that his "consistent response" is that he himself took the test and that he has had already answered these questions in 2007.
