I think Memphis will be the straw that broke the camels back with the NCAA. Basically calling their bluff and I would expect much more to follow.

You might be right.

But suppose the NCAA says to Memphis something along the lines of, “You want to play Wiseman? Fine, we can’t physically stop you. But if you do, none of your wins will count. We will not give you a tournament bid. Even if you win your Conference tournament we won’t honor it.”  I don’t pretend to know NCAA bylaws, and I’m entirely too lazy to research it, but I would be surprised if they don’t have that level of control over participants in their own tournament.

What does Memphis do then?

According to Bilas they actually sign something saying they won’t sue the NCAA. People like him that are fairly neutral saying this is beyond a ballsy move. Plus it’s Memphis. I anticipate they will prove a point with them. If Kansas did this? I honestly don’t know.
