February 4, 201511 yr Geez, what's wrong with these teams.. Cheating is allowed now, just ask UNC. No need to self impose anything anymore.
February 4, 201511 yr I wonder how they would have handled the situation if they were sitting there with a record like UK's, at 21-0?
February 4, 201511 yr I wonder how they would have handled the situation if they were sitting there with a record like UK's, at 21-0? Exactly. Southern Miss did same this year. Think they've won 8 games .
February 4, 201511 yr I know they are trying to get the NCAA to show Mercy, but I would make the NCAA take action. They have shown time after time they dont have a clue.
February 5, 201511 yr I know they are trying to get the NCAA to show Mercy, but I would make the NCAA take action. They have shown time after time they dont have a clue. Syracuse believes with the Power Five Conferences being able to soon govern themselves, taking the ban now will give them time, according to a talking head on ESPN. He said in two years, those Power Five Conference may no longer be members of the NCAA and in a totally different organization that has NO RESTRICTIONS at all. If that happens I would guess college athletics are really in trouble and the Power Five organization will just be minor leagues?
February 5, 201511 yr Am I wrong in thinking if the NCAA put a team on probation that players can transfer without penalty. If so, I'd rather see the NCAA impose a ban next year and allow recruits and others to go other places. That's a punishment! Edited February 5, 201511 yr by Jumper_Dad
February 5, 201511 yr So Syracuse hasn't beaten a ranked team all year, I guess now is a good time to go ahead and self-impose a postseason ban. They weren't long for the post season this year anyhow. In an act of solidarity, I am going to go ahead and self-impose to abstaine from dating Kate Upton.
February 5, 201511 yr What were the violations? What I read stated it was due to academics and violations of the drug policy.
February 5, 201511 yr Seems kind of weak to be able to impose a punishment that isn't really much of a punishment at all this year. At the least, they should fine the school a decent amount of money that they would have had to miss out on if they were to actually make the NCAA tournament.
February 5, 201511 yr In related news, North Carolina has decided to vacate all their losses from 1999-2010.

If that happens I would guess college athletics are really in trouble and the Power Five organization will just be minor leagues? I really hope this doesnt happen. This will be the end of great NCAA events such as the Final Four, Track anf Field Championsip, College World Series, and many other events that allows smaller Universities the chance to compete. We can thank ESPN for their role in this if it happens.
