Changes at Syracuse

[Nostical]

Syracuse AD Daryl Gross is out, according to Syracuse.com. He will stay on at the university.

It is unclear whether he resigned or was fired. Gross will remain in a position with the university, a source with direct knowledge said. An announcement is expected this morning, sources said.

Gross was not implicated for wrongdoing in the basketball program’s recent academic scandal. Though, he did orchestrate the athletic department’s Fab Melo eligibility conference in 2012.

Gross was in his 10th year at Syracuse. He took the Orange from the Big East to the ACC. He was the impetus behind USC hiring Pete Carroll while he was an associate AD.

[UPDATE: After the AD news surfaced, Syracuse announced that basketball coach Jim Boeheim will retire in three years.]

I always wonder whether some posters take at least 2 seconds to scan the board topics before posting something hours old that you just know is of interest to the Boneyard.

Obviously both these moves were dictated to them..... Boeheim was not going to retire until he was 90......

But Gross gets to stay with university despite thumbing nose at and ignoring drug testing procedures..... which he most definitely had knowledge of..... if you get wins at Syracuse.... no matter how you get them..... you can stay forever

Ha! You're right but I had boarded a flight in Fargo headed for Birmingham and we were taxing down the runway. I barely avoided the glare of the flight attendant let alone have time to scan the board. No harm no foul.

Whoever they replace him with must be a nose picker
