'Let this one go. Let Wiseman play,' writes GreggDoyelStar for usatodaysports.

Published 1:40 PM EST Nov 9, 2019That’s the compassionate thing — the right thing — for the NCAA to do.

Memphis Tigers center James Wiseman is introduced before their game against the South Carolina State Bulldogs at the FedExForum on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2019.This one is crushing, because it’s so damn hard. Maybe this does: The school hired legendary alum Penny Hardaway before the 2018-19 season, a favorite son Memphis knew would energize the fan base. And he has.

Confusing? It’s about to get worse. After Wiseman signed with Memphis, the school told the NCAA about the $11,500 moving expenses. The NCAA. It studied Wiseman’s eligibility from all angles, as it does with every super-elite prospect, and deemed him eligible in late May … Want another layer of complication to this whole thing? Here you go: James Wiseman never knew Hardaway had helped his family move in 2017. Nobody told him. Maybe his mom was too proud to admit to her son that she couldn’t afford moving expenses. Whatever the case, the kid didn’t know.
