The Syracuse Orange basketball program already appealed NCAA sanctions levied against it, but head coach Jim Boeheim made his feelings on the entire situation clear in a conversation with Tommy Tomlinson of ESPN.com.
For context, the NCAA announced in March that 108 of Syracuse’s victories from 2004-12 would be vacated because of the appearances of ineligible players. There were also reportedly instances of academic fraud and players who failed drug tests and were not subsequently held out of practices and games despite Syracuse’s written policy.
What’s more, a booster provided cash to two basketball players and three football players for volunteer work.
