Oh that pesky dart is about to land.

Article from 2012, that I believe pertains to this investigation:

Over the course of a three-month investigation, four sources with intimate knowledge of the Syracuse men’s basketball program told Yahoo! Sports at least 10 players since 2001 have tested positive for a banned recreational substance or substances. The sources said all 10 of those players were allowed to practice and play at times when they should have been suspended by the athletic department, including instances when some players may not have known of their own ineligibility. The four sources said Syracuse violated its drug policy in at least two areas: failing to properly count positive tests; and playing ineligible players after they should have been subject to suspension.

Death penalty seems fair.

Ban them from the tournament...next year. This year their play will ban them.

 

[HuskyBballFan]

It will be interesting to see if they're now part of the protected class along with their friends on Tobacco Road.

You are a tough man, my friend. Now I'd be willing to let them off with a warning and vacating the 2002-2003 season.

 

[BlueMAB]

Are we going to lose Boatright, or is Ollie himself going to be suspended?

 

[UconnU]

talk about a program on the decline. They also have probably the least talented team they've had in a quite some time this year.

I think it includes more than this. They mishandled some academic stuff, by playing players who weren't eligible.

Over at the Cuse board, they are slow on this, they'd rather go on about the Coaches Poll and how UConn doesn't deserve to be ranked.

You never know. We were left for dead, and look at what happened.

Their zone will win them a lot of games. Guard depth is an issue though.

 

[Inyatkin]

If this whole "throw a dart" thing turns out to be nothing more than marijuana violations or something it'd be a serious letdown.

 

[J-dog]

I bet a slap on the wrist is all they get… The NCAA clowns are running scared of the P5 conference members… They won't do anything to make them angry.

Stop trying to ruin my fun. I love going on their board now that we have the title, media attention and a talented roster and they have a bunch of question marks and a pending investigation. I enjoy their misery.

The NCAA should just make Boeheim play a man-to-man only for their punishment - he won't know what to do and he'll retire and Laurie Fine won't have anyone to play with!

 

[RipCity]

Let Boeheim play zone, it will never win him one of those things Carmelo got him that one time.

You basically just guaranteed them a Final Four.

 

[Stinger92860]

Can you say vacate? 4>0

Carmelo ain't walkin' through that door anytime soon.

 

[intlzncster]

Carmelo ain't walkin' through that door anytime soon.

That's what I said about Kemba. Then Shabazz...

Purvis next?

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Carmelo ain't walkin' through that door anytime soon.

Way to miss the point.

Bingo. Barring the most obscene thing possible the NCAA works for the P5 and will treat them with kid gloves regarding any future punishments.

the G5, now that's a different story.
