The NCAA upheld its 9-game suspension of the cheating Syracuse coach, but modified its initial ruling of having the suspension be for conference games to allow for the suspension to resume immediately against non-conference opponents. As such, Boeheim will not be coaching Syracuse when The Rivalry resumes on Saturday at Verizon Center.
Hoyas fans will get one final chance to see Boeheim on the sidelines in DC when the Orange return in 2017-18. That will be Boeheim's final season as Syracuse coach.
