The NCAA has charged the University of Memphis with academic integrity violations – committed by its men’s basketball and softball programs.

On top of the fine and probation -- which does not prohibit either team from competing in the postseason -- the NCAA is vacating the records from the 20 games that the players participated in while ineligible. Brooks has been given the stiffest punishment of anyone involved with a 10-year show-cause penalty.

The NCAA is penalizing the University of Memphis men’s basketball and softball teams for academic integrity violations. The NCAA found that former Memphis academic counselor Leslie Brooks paid two softball student-athletes to complete coursework for and provide test or quiz answers to a men’s basketball student-athlete.
