SBR: Face-Slapping Tiger Paid for Play?
Remember this?

Quote:Do you know the name Pierre Henderson-Niles?

Unless you’re a Memphis Tiger fan, I doubt it. Henderson-Niles was a three-star local recruit that played — quite sparingly — for the Tigers under John Calipari for three seasons ...

If it wasn’t for the fact that he slapped a UAB fan, a memorable image that was caught on camera, when Memphis was still a member of Conference USA, his tenure with Memphis would have been totally forgettable.

So why am I talking about him today?

Because a man name Stephen Saine is claiming that Coach Cal and then-assistant Derek Kellogg had a pay-for-play system in place for Henderson-Niles. Saine, who is Henderson-Niles’ uncle, even sent a letter to the NCAA making the allegations.

Nothing will come of this at all.

1. Statute of limitations for NCAA is 7 years. Niles enrolled 8 years ago. Allegations are that he was paid to sign. Not while he was playing (horribly)

2. Allegations is being made by an uncle, who is trying to sell a book. Niles is not cooperating and is estranged from the uncle.

3. There is no proof. Just rumblings of a crazy uncle.

If the NCAA won't lift a finger over what UNC has been caught at, what makes anyone think this will cause more than a ripple?

I mean, do you think that people will think Calipari might have a Pay of Play system at UK? Do you think people don't?

Calipari paying Niles would be like us paying Alexander Scotland Williamson.
