It’s been a total of 34 months since an investigation opened on Memphis’s head coach Penny Hardaway, but the Independent Accountability Review Panel found that the former Tigers basketball star didn’t violate NCAA rules when he provided benefits to three prospective players, the main one being NBA center James Wiseman, for his program due to his philanthropy in the city.

However, the panel found that Memphis committed four Level II violations and five Level III violations, which resulted in a $5,000 fine and a 0.25% budget cut of the men’s basketball program along with the three years’ probation that will run through Sept.
