Syracuse: AD out, Boeheim retiring in 3 years

[Kembacity]

I really cant believe he came out and called the sanctions overly harsh. they got off SOOOOO light compared to other punishments (namely ours)

you're talking about a decade of problems, and not minor ones. It is really entertaining reading the comments on the ESPN story, these Cuse kids are deluded to an insane degree. They are acting as we did when our punishment was handed down and everyone said Calhoun is paying players, faking grades, faking classes, beating kids... back then, those people really didn't know what they were talking about... the people bad mouthing Cuse are reacting to the news story points, valid points!

Its one thing to believe your coach didn't know about a shifty situation with 1 kid in one year, but to believe he never had a whiff of problems in this decade long charade is ludicrous... especially since we know his nose is always clear of snot blocking up his smelling sense.

Kenny Anderson said at halftime of the ND game NU, he was happy Boeheim took responsibility and is looking to move on. Boeheim did no such thing. He deferred responsibility to the YMCA guy.

I thought that a player by the name of BJ Johnson was the perfect fit for a place like Cuse because they are the suck. Its too bad it didnt work out

Let's get real for a minute here. Calhoun and Boeheim have been friends for 40 years. Coach K and Boeheim coached Team USA together and are in the same conference. Jay Bilas will never say a good thing about the NCAA until it dissolves.

You think those three are going to say anything negative about Jimmy B?

I highly doubt they've been friends for 40 years.

what. an. ass.

Did Boehiem ever defend UConn and/or Calhoun when the NCAA applied to APR standards to UConn retroactively and suspended the Huskies for a year. No! Instead, he was lobbying the ACC to exclude UConn from the ACC because Syracuse is supposedly NYC's team. Let him burn!

You could tell when they had JC talking to the announcers during the NIT game last night. They asked him about Boeheim, and he squirmed a little bit. He tried his best to say positive things, but were they truly friends it would have come much more naturally.

The general advice is, "When you're in a hole, stop digging." Boeheim has been flouting that one for years.

Mr Potato head is even throwing in the race card. Guy is delusional.

Boeheim: "I think there's a little racism involved when they talk about not taking this guy or that guy." Mentions foreigners (like Melo).

He is one shameless .

"Bump Bummp!"

What's that? It the sound of Hopkins being thrown under the bus.

Boeheim said he doesn't think Hopkins' status "is important right now." Wants to focus on his immediate future and that of the program.

After reading and listening to Boehiem try to defense himself over the last few weeks, one thing is clear. He will throw anything and anyone under the bus to defend his so called legacy. It would be easier to get my 4 year old to admit that he made a mistake than it would be to get Boeheim to admit he did anything wrong.
