There are reports from Dallas-- yep, not us this time-- that officials in Texas are investigating the high school transcripts of University of Kansas basketball star Darrell Arthur, and whether he was eligible to play in high school, which could affect whether he should have ever played for the national champion Jayhawks.

According to a former teacher and transcripts obtained by WFAA, Arthur was not passing math as a junior but his grade was changed without the teacher's knowledge.

The station said the NCAA told its reporter that if a player is found to be ineligible, his college team might have to forfeit any or all games involving that student.

The NCAA told ESPN.com that for Arthur to be ineligible, there would have to be evidence that Arthur or Kansas knew or should have known about the changed grade.

Just for fun, lets say Arthur IS found ineligible and Kansas is forced to forfeit every game he played in.

What happens to the National Championship?

Are the Memphis Tigers your new National Champs?

Memphis fans would you want that title?

I would have to pass. You've got to earn a title, not be handed one.

Would you really want the Tigers to be known as the only National Champion that lost in the title game?

I love this job so much I'd do it for free, but thankfully I don't have to- because my kids gotta eat.
