Syracuse Report Coming Today

[upstater]

"The NCAA today ordered Syracuse basketball suspended for nine games as a result of multiple infractions over the past eight years."

What does this mean or is it a typo?

It means UConn fans get to choose 9 games that Syracuse will automatically forfeit over the next few years.

What's going to happen to UNC?

 

[Jerry1714]

They do have a postseason ban for next year

Penalties and measures prescribed by the panel are below:

• Five years of probation from March 6, 2015 through March 5, 2020.
• Vacation of 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 public decision contains additional details.
• Fine of $500 per contest played by ineligible students.
• The school must return to the NCAA all funds it has received to date through the former Big East Conference revenue sharing for its appearances in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
• Suspension of the head basketball coach from the first nine conference games of 2015-16.
• Reduction of men’s basketball scholarships by three for the 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 academic years. If the school has already executed scholarship offers for the 2015-16 year, the school may begin the four-year penalty with the 2016-17 year.
• Reduction in the number of permissible off-campus recruiters from four to two during June 1, 2015 through May 31, 2017.
• The panel also accepted the school’s self-imposed postseason ban for the 2014-15 season, but noted that self-imposition of penalties after the conclusion of infractions hearings does not influence the outcome.
• Additional self-imposed penalties can be found in the public decision.

wait... The NCAA today banned the university from the postseason for next year. so they are banned two years in a row?

 

[Jerry1714]

I do not see any additional ban

 

[upstater]

By the way, falling afoul of APR is the same as cheating for 10 years.

No, strike that, it's the same as cheating AND getting caught.

Your best option is not to fall afoul of APR.
Second best option, if you're in danger of APR, cheat.

Strange, because the words in that link read the following way:

SU imposed a postseason ban last month for the current season.

The NCAA did not impose any further postseason bans.

There is no additional postseason ban. But there are scholarship reductions. And, again, Jim Boeheim will be suspended for nine ACC games.

"SU imposed a postseason ban last month for the current season. The NCAA today banned the university from the postseason for next year."

Good enough for me

yeah whats that? two years?

 

[Jerry1714]

There is no further ban, that article is poorly written.

Widely reported no further ban

 

[ConnZag3]

So who's calculated how many wins this takes away from Jimmy B for using ineligible players?

What's going to happen to UNC?

 

[tykurez]

I hate to see kids punished who likely had nothing to do w/ the crime, but the precedent was set with our double-conviction for something far less severe. The fact that they got to self impose the 1-year ban this year (conveniently a "down" year for them) is still utter bullsh--t.

The scholarships seem appropriate though. 3 less per year is a pretty big deal.

 

[Mots010]

A decades worth of infractions is apparently not worth a post season ban. Even sportcenter can't figure out if they are banned next year as I'm watching right now.

Yes it is, a 1 year ban. This year.

The loss of scholarship is huge and so is the hit to Bohiems legacy.

This is more than I thought was coming.

Syracuse won't miss a beat with this punishment. As long as he gets to keep next years recruiting class they're happy.

Exactly. Operating with only 10 scholarships for 4 years (2016-2017, 2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020) is going to hurt a lot more than a postseason ban for next year. Factor in that Boeheim will probably be leaving during that time frame, too. This is a pretty big punishment.

 

[OkaForPrez]

If the school has already executed scholarship offers for the 2015-16 year, the school may begin the four-year penalty with the 2016-17 year.

This is absolute horse .

 

[bobbygt]

The scholarship reduction is about the same as Penn State football (almost a 1/4), which had a huge impact on their ability to recruit and their depth.

Agree completely, this has a bigger effect long term.

A lot of coaches have been fired for A LOT less, I think Boehiem survives this, but who knows. Cuse administration is not know for its moral's or ethics.

 

[ScottBonz]

Not to mention cutting their available off-campus recruiting staff by half for 2 years. Look what it did to us in getting recruits who had longer relationships with other coaches.

 

[KembaStepback]

I hate the NCAA. I know i'm in the majority, but come on. They ban UConn for retroactively breaking rules. Yet, Syracuse breaks a TON of rules and gets to call its own shots? I get that the scholarships they lose are a big deal, but whatever. You think recruits care that Boeheim loses some wins? That only effects Jim B.

 

[Kembacity]

Does anyone else have a banner ad for MEMPHIS the musical on their boneyard page right now? is this a joke!?

 

[Drame]

This is bad news for UNC. Making ineligible every player for every year of violations means UNC has to lose some titles.
