Shocking, I'm sure....

NCAA to investigate Memphis booster's phone call

When Oseye Gaddy placed down the phone at her desk, she was unable to contain her excitement. She had just gotten off the phone with the CEO of her company. Out of 190,000 employees throughout the world, FedEx Express president and CEO David Bronczek, one of the company's most influential executives, had chosen to reach out to an ordinary customer service representative, working across the country in Tacoma, Wash.

But Gaddy is hardly your average customer service rep these days. She's also the mother of one of the most highly-sought-after and uncommitted basketball recruits in the country, Abdul Gaddy. And Bronczek is not merely a CEO. He is also a booster of the University of Memphis basketball program.

And according to an NCAA source, their brief conversation has led to an NCAA investigation.

Yeah lets be honest... They had to breaking plenty of rules over there

John Caliparri is a magnet for NCAA Violations. I feel it's only a matter of time until that program comes to a crashing halt due to NCAA violations that will be uncovered.

Worldwide Wes and Memphis

Sounds basically illegal to me.

I wonder how much longer it will take for the NCAA to pass some law on hiring people on a staff to get a player to come there, just like Mario Chalmers did with Kansas and how John Wall just did with Baylor. It's one of the most corrupt practices out there and I imagine it's only a matter of time before it's outlawed.

seems it would be very difficult for the NCAA to define and prosecute such behavior

if the ncaa deems this practice needing to be controlled, they'll come up with some way to control it
