Jim Boeheim To Retire In Three Seasons

Mar 18, 2015 11:59 AM

Jim Boeheim will retire as head coach of Syracuse in three years.

On March 6, the NCAA suspended Boeheim for nine ACC games, took away 12 scholarships, and ordered that 108 wins be vacated as a result of a multiyear investigation into the university's athletic programs. 

"Coach Boeheim has also told me that he intends to retire as Head Coach in three years," Syracuse chancellor Kent Syverud said. "His goal in making this decision and announcement now is to bring certainty to the team and program in the coming years, and enable and plan for a successful, longer-term transition in coaching leadership. Coach Boeheim's commitment to ensuring that the men's basketball program remains strong even after his tenure is just one more example of his deep loyalty to our University."

Jim Boeheim Suspended Nine Games As Part Of Syracuse Sanctions

Mar 6, 2015 12:09 PM

The NCAA has placed Syracuse on five years of probation, a reduction of three basketball scholarships over the next four years.

Jim Boeheim has also been suspended for nine games.

Syracuse will not receive an additional postseason ban beyond their self-imposed one this season.

Syracuse did not control and monitor its athletic programs, according to a decision issued by a Division I Committee on Infractions panel.

The self-reported violations, dating back to 2001, include academic misconduct, extra benefits, the failure to follow its drug testing policy and impermissible booster activity. The other violations found included impermissible academic assistance and services, the head basketball coach’s failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance and monitor his staff, and the school’s lack of control over its athletics program.
