Head coach Jim Boeheim will be suspended for nine ACC games and Syracuse will lose 12 scholarships over the course of four years in the wake of a multi-year investigation into the program, the NCAA announced on Friday.
Additionally, the school will be forced to "vacate all wins in which ineligible men’s basketball students played in 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2010-11 and 2011-12 and ineligible football students played in 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2006-07."
The NCAA did not elect to extend Syracuse's self-imposed post-season ban, nor did it elect to force the university to forfeit its 2003 national championship, even though the infractions extend back to the 2001 season.
Each year for the next four seasons, Syracuse will lose three basketball scholarships.
No post-season ban (beyond this year), and nobody cares about vacated wins, but 12 scholarship losses over the next four years is pretty severe. Couldn't have happened to a bigger asshole (Boneheim).

So he's been cheating since 2001? What a winner.
How much do you think his little voluntary postseason ban helped or didn't?
Boeheim will be by any minute now to blame the press for his lack of personal responsibility.

Based on what they did wrong they should be banned 100 scholarships and basketball should never be played there again (1) because they don't only recruit players from NY (2) because I really don't understand basketball and think it's a pussy sport
Sin,

Screw Syracuse.
It'll be interesting to see how all the Syracuse grads in sports broadcasting will handle this.
Not hard to find out. Many work the third shift on espn radio.

And I was almost right about boeheim. Except he didn't blame the press, just others for his rampant cheating. Shit program.
