If it's been said once, it's been said a million times. The NCAA suspended Jim Boeheim for nine games, vacated wins, scholarships, etc. You know the drill by now. But there seems to be a rising concern among fans, or rather a query as to why the NCAA would give Syracuse consideration after they've penalized the Orange.
Back in December Mike Waters reported that the NCAA will give Syracuse consideration for an at-large bid by looking at Jim Boeheim's absence the same way they would look at a key player being unavailable to compete.
