Austin Nichols is now free to transfer anywhere he chooses. The University of Memphis announced as much Tuesday evening. "Memphis has reviewed the appeal submitted by Austin Nichols," read a statement from the school, "and has agreed to remove all conditions from his release." This decision came just a few hours after Nichols' attorney, Don Jackson, released a damning statement that threatened a lawsuit if Memphis didn't remove the restrictions. (CBS Sports)
