Syracuse Basketball: Jim Boeheim Calls NCAA Sanctions "Excessive"

Boeheim sat down with ESPN's Tommy Tomlinson to discuss the penalties levied against the basketball program in March.

In a sit down interview with ESPN's Tommy Tomlinson, Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim called the sanctions against SU's basketball program "excessive."

The penalties, which were handed down in March, included stripping Syracuse of 12 scholarships over four years, vacating 108 victories and suspending Boeheim for the first nine games of conference play.

When asked what his personal responsibility was with the violations, Boeheim said he committed none.

"Obviously (the NCAA) tried to find everything that was there, as they should," he said.
