Syracuse basketball media day: Boeheim hits on NCAA scandals, man-to-man defense

Almost seven months to the day, March 19, when the Syracuse Orange extended Jim Boeheim to continue to patrol the sidelines he has for over 41 years, he received a handful of questions about SU’s upcoming season at media day.

The main platter was a topic the Orange know well from a few years ago: NCAA scandal. And Boeheim took the North Carolina and Rick Pitino questions head on. Sort of.

The consensus was as follows; agents are dubious, endorsements won’t fix the game, neither will jersey sales, and teams will still venture outside of the rules even if players are compensated.
