Syracuse under NCAA investigation: Football program part of wide-ranging inquiry, sources say

[Ozcuse]

Yikes, I got a preview of the findings and it doesn't look good!!! Let's keep this between us or I may lose my "Insider" connections.


The Report states that NCAA officials became aware of improprieties after the football program removed the color orange from the uniforms.
"We realized if they can call themselves the Syracuse Orange while not wearing any orange, what other violations and coverups could be taking place?"

Other violations uncovered include:
(1) Giving lifetime naming rights to a company known for manufacturing air conditioners and not having air conditioning in the named facility;

(2) Branding the school as NY's College Team, then signing long-term scheduling deal in New Jersey; and

(3) A Syracuse booster known as SU2NASA offering "NASA level" money to prospective four and five star recruits.

My god. People on this board are Paranoid.

That was tongue-in-cheek Hulk.

Don't feel bad. I confuse a lot of people. Someday I'll have to learn how to use emoticons...

NAWWWW.

As a great philosopher once said, we is juiced to the peel.

Not calling you out or shooting the messenger, anomander--but c'mon. You might think that you know something, or may have even heard something from someone connected with the athletic department. But you expect us to believe that you have the scoop on penalties / consequences / severity, when no media outlet out there has this information? If anyone connected to SU already knew, it would have leaked already. I'm 100% confident about that.

He's not saying all that - he's saying that what they are being accused of is less. Which given his info and connections already is not far fetched at all.

Where the heck is CaliCuse by the way? I miss the Cali posts.

 

[suloyalfan]

would this be the most mediocre football team ever on probation for actions by mediocre/historically bad football teams.

How does the saying go? "Alabama had so many major violations that the NCAA threw the book at Indiana" or something to that effect!

The 30 for 30 Pony Excess talked about how 3-win TCU was just as dirty as SMU.

 

[oldpinepoint]

Syracuse.con and the sub standard must be happier than a pig in slop

 

[buffalorange]

You mean GRob will have to vacate wins?

Oh, the humanity.

Well, at least it will be a small penalty then.

 

[Crusty]

Maybe now the football program will start to get some respect!

 

[Jake]

Click bait. This is nothing compared to hoops.

Correct. Almost nothing to see here. Won't be a blip on the screen.

How about hoops (assuming you were talking about the FB team involvement)? Minor or major? I get it if you can't respond.

And Marrone might now be back to 2 miracles short of Sainthood.

Didn't Howard U. just get busted ?

Oh, the humanity.

Maybe since GROB's years were Bizarro World Syracuse football we'll actually be granted wins as a punishment...

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Joe Adam brought some cream cheese for the team bagels. Syracuse to lose two scholarships per season until the rapture.

Keep it here.

Based on the timing of certain things, I'm guessing under Marrone. Minor stuff most likely though.

Lol. Maybe it is Grob. Maybe if it's something they dug up from years ago, maybe it's P. Heck maybe it's Shafer. Just going by the timing of some basketball stuff.
