Of course it only goes back to 2004. If they had won the title in 2005 it would have only went back to 2006 and so on...NCAA=fucking joke

Does losing 3 scholarships/year hurt that much? That takes it to 12 scholarship players/year? Pretty much means that walkons have zero chance of a scholarship, right? Is Boeheim even going to be coaching next year? I've heard he is pretty hands off, and most of the players only see him on gameday.

Such bs.

Paying players seems such a pedestrian violation. When are they going to ring up UNC for basically running a fake university.

Improper booster benefits? Is there any reason not to cheat? They aren't going to take away an NC, all you lose is the # of official games, but everyone will still report you as whatever # you are on the alltime win list.

....and unc continues to skate

I think it goes from 13 to 10, which is kind of a big deal (if it is 13 to 10).

And Boeheim is in the Basketball HOF and Izzo is not (yet)...Nice!

Why is any current coach in a HOF? I can't believe Calipari is going to be in the HOF, and he hasn't even brought the NCAA into UK yet.

I just don't see what Syracuse did wrong.

Of course not. For you, college is not a place where people go to get an education.
