Pat Forde-It's time for Jim Boeheim to leave Syracuse

[UConnSwag11]

Saturday at North Carolina State should be Jim Boeheim's last game as the Syracuse basketball coach.

The Orange season will end then, thanks to the school's self-imposed postseason ban. Boeheim's career should end then, too, a deserved defrocking for the broad array of rules violations committed on his watch over more than a decade – violations that were revealed Friday by the NCAA Committee on Infractions.

Academic fraud. Violations of the school's drug-testing policy. Money filtering from a booster to players. Syracuse pretty well hit the trifecta of cheating. The school filled the rap sheet with impressive thoroughness.

You are asking a gutless and slimy man, to make a tough high moral decision, never would happen.

Cuse doen't have the balls to let him go.

 

[Husky1964]

Not his to make. President and AD prob will decide.

But he did decide to write the article, so give him that.

I believe he was referring to Boehiem.

Chancellor is already on record decrying sanctions and backing Boeheim in his appeal of his personal sanctions. NCAA proves cheating pays. They lose 3 scholarships a year, which isn't nothing but hardly worthy of the crime. Everything else is less than a wrist slap.

Look at it this way. For 8 years of academic fraud (that the NCAA decided to investigate as I'm sure 2003 was no difference, but can't strip a title), their APR for those years must be in the toilet. The penalty for a rolling 4 year sub par APR alone is the loss of 1 scholarship and a 1 year postseason ban. 04-08 (1 lost sch and 1 yr ban). Assuming no additional penalties for habitual offender status, the same would apply for the 05-09 period (1+1), 06-10 (1+1), 07-11 (1+1), 08-12 (1+1), 09--13 (1+1), 10-14 (1+1) and 11-15 (1+1) assuming the got there act together in '13-'14.

That's 8 lost scholarships and an 8 year tournament ban if they were above board. That's just for the academic penalties. You'd have to add at least another one and one for the impermissible benefits. So the bench is at minimum a loss of 9 total ships and a 9 yr ban. They lost 12 ships and a no year ban as this year doesn't count.

Therefore, cheating pays and I didn't even have to mention the squid.

Syracuse was violating its own drug-testing policy as far back as 2001. It would stand to reason that a player or players on that 2003 championship team played in games from which he/they should have been withheld, if the school had followed its rules. But thanks to the agreed-upon statute of limitations date, the title bears no taint from this investigation.

In addition to retro-fitting penalties to the old structure and sparing Syracuse its lone basketball banner, the Committee on Infractions delivered one more Only The NCAA moment Friday.

It criticized itself for taking too long with this investigation.

"It's unacceptable for our membership to have cases that drag on this long," Banowsky said.

That's a supportable stance in general, but this case was extraordinary. The NCAA was diving down a decade-deep sewer here. A program was violating rules for years and years – it may take years and years to get to the bottom of it.

The joke was that Pat Forde is a gutless and slimy man.

Christine Brennan in USA Today also says it's time for him to go.

You look at the laundry list of embarrassing and illegal decisions made by Jim Boeheim's Syracuse men's basketball program for more than a decade, then hear that the NCAA suspended him for nine ACC games next year, and you have to wonder:
How in the world is this man going to keep his job?
He will, of course, because Syracuse loves basketball more than life itself, and Boeheim probably more than basketball, but that doesn't make it right.

Ha ha, I would have gone there if you didn't.

 

[Danzz]

Boeheim will likely return next year and that may be it for him. JC's situation was quite different but he didn't want to retire after our penalties and the transfers etc. Boeheim's mindset may be similar. My guess is he coaches the remainder of this season and retires the end of next season.

Leave Bernie alone. He is in Florida trying to put things back together with Laurie but she is still cruising campuses.
