Penalties and measures prescribed by the panel are below:
• Five years of probation from March 6, 2015 through March 5, 2020.
• Vacation of all wins in which ineligible men’s basketball students played in 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2010-11 and 2011-12 and ineligible football students played in 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2006-07. The public decision contains additional details.
• Fine of $500 per contest played by ineligible students.
• The school must return to the NCAA all funds it has received to date through the former Big East Conference revenue sharing for its appearances in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
• Suspension of the head basketball coach from the first nine conference games of 2015-16.
• Reduction of men’s basketball scholarships by three for the 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 academic years. If the school has already executed scholarship offers for the 2015-16 year, the school may begin the four-year penalty with the 2016-17 year.
• Reduction in the number of permissible off-campus recruiters from four to two during June 1, 2015 through May 31, 2017.
• The panel also accepted the school’s self-imposed postseason ban for the 2014-15 season, but noted that self-imposition of penalties after the conclusion of infractions hearings does not influence the outcome.
• Additional self-imposed penalties can be found in the public decision
Boeheim to be suspended for 9 games
12 scholarships forfeited over 4 years
No postseason ban
They can opt to start the scholarship reduction in 2016. Since there is no post-season ban, I dounbt that anyone will get a waiver if they transfer. Overall, pretty tough penalties. Not surprised that they ignore the fact that this goes back past their championship year. NCAA would never vacate a NC.
I can't believe how Syracuse is treated so lightly, when the NCAA tortured us for years, and our penalties were much harsher for far less infractions.

What a joke. An NCAA team can offer 13 scholarships. The only people that really get hurt in this are the walk-on/practice players that might have earned a scholarship. Syracuse we'll be just fine with the scholarships; even if a fringe player that had limited minutes leaves the team.

Big picture. This isn't a light penalty. Could it be more harsh? Sure.
But some of you just want to see Jimmy B doing the perp walk out of the Carrier Dome in handcuffs.

What NCAA team offers 13 scholarships?
They will feel this big time in their recruiting.
