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.

Sweeeeeet. Boeheim has been running a bandit program up there forever. His smirk might get vocal chords over this sanction. Next up Carmelo's reaction. ESPN will be non stop Syracuse chatter. Dicky V will be apoplectic. Retire Jimmy.How is Bernie Fine doing these days?

Wow. This is serious. We can go ahead and say we won't be seeing too many W's in the win column for the Big Orange when this sanction hits!

Jimmy B got a 9 game suspension, which are tune up games. Why not the NCAA's harshest penalty, a "show cause" penalty.

Seems as if the "self imposed" sanctions instituted by Syracuse didn't affect the outcome ruling.

No - they are the first 9 CONFERENCE GAMES.

Holy Moly! Wasn't Syracuse supposed to have a pretty good class of recruits coming to play next year?

Aha. Big difference.

Four 4-star recruits, who could end up de-committing anyway depending if Boeheim gets fired or not. My question is if they signed a LOI, does the NCAA allow them to get out of it?

Dickie V shamelessly defended Boeheim during last night's ESPN game broadcast. Claimed Boeheim had no idea what was going on and the whole charade was perpetrated by his staff and department behind his back. Painted Jimmy B as a classy guy who would never cheat.

So if Dickie says it, then it must be true.
