Breaking news, the NCAA has ruled Memphis big man James Wiseman, the possible number one overall pick in 2020, ineligible, according to his lawyers.

That was Friday. When University of Memphis freshman James Wiseman, the number one ranked recruit in the country was ruled ineligible by the NCAA.

But just hours later, Wiseman was back in the starting lineup after challenging the governing

body in court. It's a risky strategy for Wiseman in Memphis. But could their aggressive

response become the new normal in college sports? I'm Minutkheims. It's Tuesday, November 12th.

This is ESPN Daily, presented by Indeed.

Jay, this news came out Friday afternoon. What was your reaction when you first heard it?

Well, my first reaction is more of the same. I mean, it came out the same day that Chase Young

at Ohio State was

suspended for something similar. Jay Billis is a college basketball analyst for ESPN and will be

calling the game between Memphis and Oregon tonight. So this is not horribly unusual. It's

frankly right in the NCAA's wheelhouse. It's just frustrating because it's a rule that most people,

most fair-minded people, don't agree with. It's just frustrating because it's a rule that most people, most fair-minded people don't

high school, ultimately becoming his college coach. That doesn't happen very often. So the

circumstances are somewhat unique, but what's really

unique about this meeting is the response of Memphis here. And the president and the athletic director

basically saying, look, we know how this goes, but we're not doing it your way. We get to decide whether

he plays or not. And then you, the NCAA, you can come in afterwards and tell us we were wrong.

And then we'll accept the consequences on the back end.

That's really unusual.

Let's back up.
