SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim faces a nine-game suspension, his program will lose three scholarships per season for the next four years and the team will be on probation for five years.
The NCAA released its long-awaited report at noon Friday into infractions committed by the basketball program. The team first self-reported violations in 2007.
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," the NCAA release stated. Read the release in its entirety below.
Earlier this year, Syracuse University imposed its own sanctions on the men's basketball program, banning it from all postseason play, including the ACC and NCAA tournaments.
Boeheim will be suspended for nine ACC games in the 2015-16 season, and the university must pay financial penalties, including returning funds from Big East Conference revenue sharing it received from appearing in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 NCAA tournaments.
Syracuse will lose the three scholarships a year through the 2018-19 season, but the NCAA said if the Orange has already executed offers for the next season, they may begin the four-year penalty with the 2016-17 year.
The program will have to vacate wins where ineligible players were used in the years referenced by the NCAA. That number could be up to 132, but an NCAA spokesperson said the program will make the final "clerical" determination.
"During the 10-year period of violations, the head basketball coach did not promote an atmosphere of compliance within his program and did not monitor the activities of those who reported to him as they related to academics and booster involvement," the report states.
From 2010 through 2012, a university support services employee "made revisions, created or wrote assignemnts for three men's basketball players," and in January 2012, two Syracuse basketball staff members completed coursework for an academically ineligible student.
