Getty ImagesMany reporters on Thursday's conference call were consumed with the revelation that Rose's eventually-to-be-nullified SAT score was achieved in Detroit, which they seemed to accept as evidence that some chicanery had occurred.
However, a source close to the Memphis program told Sporting News that when Rose was first going through the initial eligibility process, he told the school and the NCAA he had taken the test in Detroit because the Bulls were playing the Pistons in a playoff game, and members of his family had planned to attend. The source said Rose has insisted to former teammates and members of the Bulls organization that he took his own test, although he has made no public statement on the matter.
It's interesting, though, that the infractions committee probed no deeper into the question of whether Rose had, in fact, taken that test. The most essential question of this entire controversy was decided when the Educational Testing Service cancelled Rose's test score in May 2008.
And why did that happen? Because the ETS sent letters to Rose's home in Chicago a couple months earlier — when Rose was attending school in Memphis and on the road playing the NCAA Tournament — and he did not respond to them.
The cancellation of the test was "based on failure to cooperate," Dee acknowledged. So an action this profound, this lasting, was undertaken at least partly because Rose didn't get his mail.
Isn't anyone else bothered by this?
