Jim Boeheim suspended as part of NCAA's punishment of Syracuse

Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim has been suspended for nine ACC games next season and his program has been stripped of three scholarships for each of the next four years, among other sanctions released Friday by the NCAA.

The findings released Friday – as part of a longtime NCAA probe – also placed the basketball and football programs on five-year probation periods.

The report stated that "over the course of a decade, Syracuse University did not control and monitor its athletics programs, and its head men’s basketball coach failed to monitor his program."

Among the violations found included:

• Academic misconduct
• Extra benefits
• Failure to follow drug testing policy
• Impermissible booster activity

My respect and admiration for SU athletics and Coach Boeheim was lost long ago.

LOL...kidding. I know what you mean though. "Subtle" is more how I would describe him. How he used to be, at least.
