From the NCAA Compliance Guidelines:

[I]“If a student-athlete is receiving institutional financial aid based in any degree on athletics ability, [U][B]that financial aid MAY be reduced or canceled during the period of award[/B][/U] (e.g., during that year or term) only if the student-athlete:[/I]

[LIST]
[*][I][I][B]Renders himself or herself ineligible for intercollegiate competition[/B]; or
• [B]Misrepresents any information[/B] on an application, letter of intent or financial aid agreement; or
• [B]Commits serious misconduct[/B] which warrants a substantial disciplinary penalty (the misconduct determination must be made by the university’s regular student disciplinary authority); or
• [B]Voluntarily quits the sport[/B] for personal reasons. In this case, the student-athlete’s financial aid may not be given to another student-athlete during the term in which the aid was reduced or canceled."[/I][/I]
[/LIST]
[I][I]-----------[/I][/I]

Now that's ONLY during the period of the award. I would assume the new period for financial aid starts July 1. I think coaches have a ton of discretion for punishment if a student-athlete has done wrong. For some reason, Syracuse has decided a student and faculty judicial board should take that ability away from the coach. As far as I know, that is exceedingly rare in DI/FBS institutions.
