The N.C.A.A.’s committee on infractions issued a startling report Friday on the conduct of the Syracuse athletic department, particularly its men’s basketball program, which it said violated numerous N.C.A.A. rules over the course of more than a decade. |
The committee’s punishment was severe: Over the next four years, the Syracuse men’s basketball team must forfeit three scholarships; vacate all wins in which an ineligible basketball player participated from 2004 through 2012; reduce permissible off-campus recruiters from four to two; and return all funds received from participation in the Big East Conference tournament in 2011, 2012 and 2013, among other sanctions. |
Furthermore, Coach Jim Boeheim will be suspended for the first nine Atlantic Athletic Conference games in 2015-16. The committee singled out Boeheim for his “failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance and monitor his staff.” |
