[I]Syracuse, N.Y. — When the Syracuse Orange advanced to the 2016 NCAA Final Four, there was a prevailing thought among some fans and members of the national media that the NCAA's sanctions had little impact on Jim Boeheim's program.

After all, there was Syracuse at the Final Four in Houston just one year after serving a self-imposed postseason ban and only months following Boeheim's own nine-game suspension from the NCAA.

In reality, Syracuse's Final Four appearance masked the impact of the NCAA's penalties that came after a long investigation into the SU program.

The fact is that, despite those four tournament wins in a two-week period last March, the NCAA's sanctions did exactly what penalties are supposed to do. They've hurt Syracuse...
