So where was the self-reporting by the NCAA clearing house? In the end, they are responsible for clearing Rose to play in the NCAA and they failed at their job.

I'm not disagreeing that this comes down to the NCAA clearing house dropping the ball. Rose should have never made it into college in the first place, thus Memphis, the AD, nor the Coaches would have ever been put in a position to play a player who is not elligible. But to just put this at the NCAA Clearinghouse and say "well, if they let him through, then it's OK"! Un-uh, that's not the way it's uspposed to work either, at least not ethically. It happens in everyday life, a guilty act goes un-noticed by those who should have caught it, but if someone finds out that an improper action was missed, is it OK to just let it slide and not say anything? Sure it is if it's going to impact you and your program negatively, take the chance, it's all about winning.....
