Memphis, Penny Hardaway Avoid Major Penalties in NCAA Probe

The Independent Accountability Resolution Process (IARP) ruled Tuesday that the University of Memphis men’s basketball program committed multiple Level II violations and Level III violations during a period of time in 2019 and ’20.

However, the team and coach Penny Hardaway avoided major sanctions as the Tigers will not be subjected to any postseason ban and Hardaway will not be suspended for his involvement in the violations.

Memphis received a $5,000 fine and three years of probation, according to the IARP’s Tuesday ruling. The basketball team must also vacate its win from the game that former center James Wiseman participated in on Nov.
