NCAA Suspends Syracuse Basketball Coach Jim Boeheim Following Investigation In a scathing report released Friday, the NCAA announced a number of punishments leveled against Syracuse University, including a nine-game suspension of Syracuse men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim, following a violations investigation into the school's athletic program.
"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," the NCAA wrote in a press release.
The NCAA said the university discovered and self-reported 10 violations dating back to 2001, mostly involving the men's basketball team. The school's football team also had violations.
The NCAA said violations included academic misconduct, extra benefits, the failure to follow its drug testing policy and impermissible booster activity.
The NCAA's report focused most of all on Boeheim, who has been head coach of the program since 1976. The NCAA said Boeheim failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance and monitor his staff. It added that Syracuse did not monitor the athletics program.
In addition to Boeheim's suspension, the NCAA also accepted the school's self-imposed post season ban, which it announced in February. The school will also face a five-year probation, financial penalties, a vacation of wins and the men's basketball team will also have recruiting restrictions for two years.
Here is a list of the full penalties, announced by the NCAA against Syracuse:
