Derrick Rose's bright first NBA season is now being clouded by allegations of major violations at Memphis and that someone altered his college transcript.

"This is going to be a multiyear story, and the problem for Derrick Rose is he's at the foundation of this," Marc Ganis, president of Chicago-based consulting company Sports Corp. Ltd., told the Associated Press.

The NCAA claims that an unknown person took the SATs for a knowing player and that the player used it to get to Memphis.

Compounding Rose's issues were reports that Rose was one of four Simeon (High School) athletes with a grade that got bumped up for a month.

The only word out of Rose's camp was a statement by attorney Daniel E. Reidy, who said the point guard cooperated in an investigation by Memphis that uncovered "no wrongdoing on his part."
