NCAA comes down on Syracuse

[victor2111]

Ouch, for Syracuse. Is UNC next?

Syracuse already punished themselves with no tourney this year. NCAA added this:


The NCAA on Friday suspended Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim for nine ACC games, took away 12 scholarships, and ordered that 108 wins be vacated as a result of a multiyear investigation into the university's athletic programs.

What a joke. This goes on for how long? This isn't even a hard as a slap on the wrist.

Losing 3 ships per yer for 4 years could hurt.

I know most people will just say, just 3 people at the end of the bench. But it affects practice, scout players, etc. If there are couple injuries, etc.


And sometimes, the last 3 guys in the class, are the ones that become the best. Tate for Ohio State was not the "main" guy but he is going to be a very productive player for Ohio State. Would have sucked to lose him, etc.

So there is some affect to it. Meyer talked about 3ships in football being a pretty big deal. Basketball that is 25% of your team. Now you've have to hit on every player when recruiting.

Not a dagger to the program but I think that part hurts. Could have hit them for another ban to the NCAA tourney next year. That would have made a pretty solid impact there.

So let me get this straight - Jim Tressel gets a show cause for hiding the fact that guys sold their stuff for tattoos, and Boeheim gets 9 games for years of crap?

Fairly certain JT not coming clean at the start had something to do with that show cause.

Yes, Tressel didn't handle it right. No argument there. But the Syracuse stuff went on for a decade! The OSU stuff was selling personal gear for tats. The NCAA is a joke. There is no consistency with their investigations and penalties.

There is no consistency with the penalties, or the timing. Miami tried to deal with the Shapiro sh!t right away, but had to live under the cloud of it for three years as the NCAA drug its feet.

And UNC HAS to be next, and if there ever was a school, not just a team, that deserves the so called death penalty, it is them. Fake classes for students and players? Wow

Boeheim signed the same forms stating he didn't know anything about ineligible players that Tressel did (the basis of the "lie").

Boeheim still denies he did anything wrong. How is that "coming clean"? He is planning to appeal.

I am not surprised, he has always been a whiny bitch, how should now be any different?
