After an NCAA investigation discovered multiple infractions, Syracuse head basketball coach Jim Boeheim will be suspended for nine conference games next season and the program will lose 12 scholarships over the next four years.

 

Matt Schneidman of The Daily Orange passed along the full list of penalties levied by the NCAA. The school is forced

to vacate all victories which included ineligible players. That decision covers both the basketball and football teams:

 

 

John O'Brien of Syracuse.com reported that the NCAA accepted the school's self-imposed postseason ban for the current season and didn't extend it further. It's the second time the basketball program has been penalized under Boeheim, who's been with the Orange for more than three decades.

Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports provided details of one known violation:

 

 

David Gardner of Sports Illustrated points out the vacated wins will delay the longtime basketball coach's quest for 1,000 career victories as ESPN reported that Boeheim will surrender 108 wins:

 

 

Jon Solomon of CBS Sports and Brian Hamilton of Sports Illustrated reported that Syracuse actually dodged a bullet:

 

 

The loss of scholarships is a major short-term blow for the program. Losing three available spots per season is a much bigger deal for a basketball team given the size of the roster as compared to football. The reduction will likely have a noticeable impact on the team's depth. However, it's important to note that the scholarships won't be reduced until 2016 if they've already been executed for the 2015 season.

 

The penalties will also be a financial hit for the program between the fines for games played by ineligible student-athletes and the return of revenue made through the NCAA tournament from 2011-13. The exact monetary loss was not included in the release.

 

Boeheim's suspension will go into effect when the conference schedule begins next season.

Amazing that year after year Duke and Kentucky can buy the top tier players and not get penalized...

Kentucky has been penalized multiple times. UNC might have been the better comparison a few years ago especially in light of their "The Carolina Way" mantra.

Pretty funny when people are shocked about this activity. About the only time it's annoying is when an institution or fans of an institution pretend like they don't cheat. Cuse might have done worse things than others, but at that point you're arguing about magnitude of cheating.

Kentucky haven't been penalized like this, at least not under the current regime. UNC would have been a good comparison as well. 

 

And yes I'm sure this goes on at every institution.
