Rose Tied To Recruiting Violation At Memphis

The University of Memphis is responding to NCAA allegations that charge the men's basketball program with major violations, both of which involve Derrick Rose, according to a report from the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

The player's name is blacked out in the report, but the wording indicates that he only played in the 2007-08 season and Rose is the only player that meets the criteria.

The exact wording is as follows:

"It is alleged that [blacked out] prospective men's basketball student-athlete failed to deport himself in accordance with the generally recognized high standards of honesty and sportsmanship normally associated with the conduct and administration of intercollegiate athletics for his knowing fraudulence or misconduct and administration of intercollegiate examination. Specifically, on [blacked out] an unknown individual completed [blacked out] SAT, with [blacked out] knowledge, which was used to obtain his admission into the institution and to certify his NCAA eligibility. [Blacked out] subsequently competed for the men's basketball team through the 2007-08 season, which included his participation in the 2008 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship."
