The NCAA Committee on Infractions wants its punishment of the University of Memphis upheld because schools need to be punished when they use ineligible players.
That’s according to the NCAA’s response to Memphis’ appeal of penalties including the vacated 38 wins from the 2007-08 men’s basketball season.
The Associated Press obtained the NCAA’s response from the University of Memphis on Monday night under an open records request. The university initially refused to release the NCAA’s response to its appeal, citing NCAA rules that prohibit printing the document for media off the association’s Web site.
The NCAA issued the penalties Aug 20. Memphis filed its appeal Oct. 8.
