On Thursday, ESPN analyst and former NBA player, Jay Williams posted a Twitter video supporting a GoFundMe campaign to help Memphis center James Wiseman pay an $11,500 charity donation required by the NCAA.
"As a college athlete, James is forbidden to accept any money – even a loan – while playing sports. Since we're not sure how the NCAA expects him to find this money given these circumstances, we decided to try and help him out," said Game Seven, the creators of the GoFundMe, which currently has over $2,000 in donations.announced on Wednesday that Wiseman, who was previously ruled ineligible, will instead be suspended for 12 games and must donate $11,500 to a charity of his choice.
After playing in three games, Wiseman withdrew his lawsuit against the NCAA and Memphis ruled him ineligible. Prior to Wiseman withdrawing the suit, the school had applied for his reinstatement by the NCAA, which was approved following a hearing. The suspension and donation are part of the terms issued by the NCAA in the hearing.
