Syracuse slapped hard by NCAA

You're under the impression that Fab actually wrote a 3-5 page paper?

The tipoff was the footnotes. He sent in a picture of a "post it" on his foot.

As an FYI anyone see the video of Rakeem Christmas coming out for the last time the other night. I can't find it but it looked like JB wanted a hug and RC just reached out with his hand for handshake and didn't even want to really talk. Thought it looked a lot like a "" to me but could be wrong?

Does this mean the OT win from 09 gets vacated?

Really feel bad for Christmas. One of my good friends from HS goes to Cuse and says that he's a really solid dude. Shame on JB for screwing this up for kids like him.

Amazing how these coaches will say "it's all about the kids" up until they throw one under the bus,

They have made a self imposed ban for this year, but that means little because they have had a crapola year and would have been lucky to make it to the dance. we have our own self imposed ban with a poor season of play. Maybe we will win the AAC tourney and have the ban lifted.

then you are clueless

Yeah, I get that a lot.

I've been reading that Syracuse got a lighter penalty because the NCAA applied the rules in place at the time of the infraction rather than the newer, harsher penalties. I am ok with that. Wish we had been given the same consideration.

So does that mean the same thing will happen to NC?

Let's compare a punished Syracuse to an unpunished UCONN as we move forward. UCONN plays in the AAC against lesser known and less desirable schools for high profile college DivI recruits. That combined with the fact that also we are relegated to networks where the game ratings are going to be lower, although our top games against the top couple teams will get viewership. Syracuse loses the scholarships but their games are still big time against Duke, Carolina, Virginia, Notre Dame, Louisville, Georgetown( on sched), and even Pitt. They're on ESPN 1 and 2 all the time with huge national exposure where kids are actually watching ( it's all about TV). On top of that with a shorter bench the coaches can promise the best players that they will get all the PT they can handle, which is what the kids want. Kids don't have to worry as much as new recruits pushing their PT. So who will end up with better players, and how bad is the punishment?
