There is no way he said that. None.
Well the quote is with two sources although slightly different but almost as bad.
Just as he did at the Big East Tournament last week, Boeheim mentioned Syracuse’s move to the Atlantic Coast Conference as a challenge that he’s looking forward to.
“I'm excited about the move that we're making to the ACC,’’ he said. “I think it's a great challenge. I think it's better – it's a better basketball league than we would be in than if we were where Connecticut is. I think it's potentially a great basketball league and a great challenge.’’
The first twitter is the Post -Standard newspaper in Syracuse (Syracuse.com)

Boeheim: I'm excited about the move we're making. ACC is a challenge. Better league than league Connecticut's going to be in.

Boeheim: "I'm excited about the move to the ACC and the challenge. We're in a better position than Connecticut is."
Here is the comment in another form:

What context was it said and what were the exact words is what I need to know.
If it were to be true then the friendship JB and JC supposedly had is strained for sure.
I agree with Sport's. I need context and a direct quote. I trust Whaler's OP but that iphone screencap seems a little shady to me.
That being said, if this turns out to be true I'll simply laugh at Cuse and thank Mrs. Boeheim for all of the time we've spent together in my dreams the past 20+ years.

The screenshot is shady? If you have a problem with it - it's the media outlet who tweeted it or Gavin Keefe who retweeted. Since it's been posted in multiple threads...
