Memphis appeal:

The University of Memphis isn't backing down in its appeal of the NCAA order to vacate the 2007-08 season. Memphis argues in its 28-page rebuttal, filed Monday, to the NCAA's response to the university's appeal that the Committee on Infractions puts the Tigers at risk of double jeopardy. If the appeals committee decides to restore the vacated wins or cut the fine, the Committee on Infractions has asked that the case be remanded back to it to consider other punishment.
