And this is in regards to what?

The NCAA released its report on its eight-year investigation into the school's athletic department.
NCAA penalties:

4. Fine of $500 per contest played by ineligible students.
5. Syracuse 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. This could cost the school more than $1 million.

Making excuses while cheating is like double dippin wings in ranch dressing.
