Syracuse Basketball repeatedly violated....

In accordance with Syracuse University Athletic Department's policy, we continually self investigate issues which are in opposition to NCAA policy and then, promptly self report violations to the NCAA within 12 years of commission or safely after the statute of limitations or, if we are outed sooner we obsfucate and posture  within our local jurisprudence system untill sanctions can be brought against the offenders during our early season games against Albany, Colgate, and East Trombone State. Watch and listen to how long it takes for this one to go away.........tick, tock, tick, tock..... Enjoy the competition ACC
 
So I am watching ESPN and noticed the Syracuse story on the scrolling ticker at the bottom of the screen. Interesting, they give Boeheim's quote as "I don't know anything about it"......funny how they leave out the part of his comment which stated "good luck with your story". God forbid ESPN do anything to show Boeheim as the smug arrogrant jerk he really is. What a joke.
 
My prediction is that Syracuse University and Boeheim blame Bernie Fine for the alleged non enforcement of the drug policy.

Mrs. Fine is Syracuse Compliance Officer, or is that Compliant Officer.
 
First step of SU's decline into irrelevance. JB retires. Hopkins takes over. Recruits stop paying attention. Fans don't travel to Tobacco Road, Talahassee, Blacksburg, etc. Join BC in the ACC basement. Enjoy!

From your mouth to God's ears! That can't happen soon enough.
 
 The "I didn't know anything" routine from Boeheim is getting old real fast. The media will protect Syracuse because so many of them went there. Having gone to Syracuse myself, I can say that the athletic department and the school will do a great job of once again covering this up.

Very funny. Sad but true.I sense small sanctions against them and then this story just blows over.

NEW YORK -- Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said Thursday his school told the NCAA "five years ago" about possible violations of its internal drug policy, even though the university and the NCAA both have said the self-report came over one year ago.

A reporter followed Boeheim's remark by asking,"You got a report of it 5 years ago?" Boeheim replied with an affirmative "Uh-huh."
 
Report to whom? Not the NCAA.  All the tv announcer in the world will not prevent an inquiry regarding institutional control. They are not a state school with a state legislature to presure the NCAA..

Unforunately I don't see 'Cuse going anywhere. They're more than just Boheim. That's what 30 years of winning does. They have a program now with facilities, donors, and a fan base that is deep and stable.

I actually think they'll have a better record in the ACC. After Duke and UNC it's not a very strong conference unless Maryland or Wake are both having good years.

I don't see them befalling BC's fate.
 
 Wow Jimmy B needs to pay more attention it seems to what goes on off the court, or just deny deny deny....
 

For a guy who's obviously a terrific recruiter and astute coach, he sure is obtuse to what's going on around his program.

Be a shame to see a program that can be "the pride of the ACC" get put on the sidelines for a bit.
 

They're never ever going to be the pride of the acc. Not as long as the tobacco road schools are there. The acc brought in cuse because their bball has been in decline for the past five years. Maryland, Wake, NCSt., Clemson have all fallen on hard times. They need cuse, but they are never going to treat them as anything better than their distant yankee cousins.
 
 Syracuse has a dirty program and has been so for years. Don't think for a minute that the Carrier Dome is enough to lure top notch players to the frozen tundra of up-state NY. In the eighties, a very high profile recruit approached St. John's with a laundry list of demands (including money) to secure his roundball services. His girlfriend was attending our school. He was turned down. He ended up at Syracuse under Jimmie boy. What does that tell you?
 
 What insitutional rules were broken regarding drug use? Not sharing?

I spent a week in Syracuse one day - drug use should be mandatory, and any players testing negative should be sent for counseling.

It tells me how Mark Jackson became a REDMAN!

I'm not saying Cuse isn't dirty. But if kids cared about the weather and scenery, every basketball recruit would end up in Miami, Florida State, or San Diego State.

And yet generations of All-Americans have been choosing to play in Storrs, CT, Syracuse, NY, East Lansing, MI, Bloomington, IN etc etc

We underrate the campuses in the middle of nowhere. These kids don't care about that as much as we adults do. It's not like they're going to broadway shows, having dinner out, or even looking for a great bar scene - those things matter to US, a lot more than they do to a kid who wants to play one year and then shake David Stern's hand.

I agree. Most of their free time is probably spent playing basketball anyway. Besides, parties are good anywhere you are (except maybe BYU and a few others), and girls will always put out for a star athlete.
