Penny is a former player, a mega donor, and people are questioning why he was deemed a "booster"?

The NCAA gets lots of things wrong, but this isn't one of them.

The NCAA gets blamed for a lot of things their membership wants or for things out of their control, like the NBA refusing to take HS players.

Naive.

I'm not naive in the least. I just don't see a problem with someone paying to help someone move regardless of them being declared a booster based on a gift from years ago. Heck I don't have a problem based in a gift made last year.

A former player and donor paid to move the kid to Memphis...and suddenly the kid decides to play hoops for said player/donor's school. That is EXACTLY the type of thing the NCAA should be preventing.

Why


Because schools with wealthy boosters would otherwise start "recruiting" promising kids by moving them and their families closer to their schools...and likely to very nice houses.

Hey Mr Recruit (last year example), I hear your car is broken...here's $8k loan for a new one...pay me back at your convenience.


Vs

Hey Mr Recruit, heard your family needs help moving.  Here is $8K loan to do that...pay me back at your convenience.


In both scenarios, kid ends up at that school.  Did money influence that decision?  That is fundamentally the problem.  Now, the timing of this is where it gets very squishy.  Is a loan from 10 years ago the same as one from last year?

Penny donated a million dollars to Memphis in 2008.  That makes him a booster.

Word is he just changed his name to Million Hardaway.

He shouldn't be. He paid for the move before he was coach because he was declared a booster by making a gift back in 2008. Absurd.

Lies

You're being an idiot, again

So in 2008 , the kid was 7 years old. Penny has some serious recruiting skills!

LOL is any surprised it was a judge in Memphis that granted the restraining order?? Jay Bilas even says he won't likely win this in court and Memphis is going to have to vacate any games he plays in

Did you think a person who lives in Memphis and a school located in Memphis should have filed their petition in New York?

If it is truly only a few years, then absolutely. I was going with Sultan's 2008 year which gave me pause.  A few years ago, kid is projected then to be a stud recruit....absolutely the NCAA needs to police this.

False. Absurdly false.

Last gave 11 years ago. Shouldn't be relevant.

As a former player he's a booster.

As a donor he's a booster.

Penny knew what he was doing and considering the machinations going in behind the scenes likely knew he'd get the Memphis job. The NCAA nailed this one correctly.
