Syracuse basketball avoids another post-season ban

The NCAA today at Noon announced that it will not ban the Syracuse University men’s basketball team from next year’s post season.

The decision was part of the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions’ report on its findings of a lengthy investigation into SU’s athletics program.

SU announced on Feb. 4 that it had self-imposed a post-season ban on the men’s basketball team for this season in response to the NCAA investigation.

The NCAA’s panel accepted the university’s one-year postseason ban.

However, the NCAA imposed a wide range of penalties on Syracuse today, including:

“Penalties in this case … include five years of probation; financial penalties; reduction of three men’s basketball scholarships per year for four years; vacation of wins in which ineligible students participated; a nine conference game suspension for the head basketball coach; and men’s basketball recruiting restrictions for two years,” according to a news release from the NCAA.

The Orange wrap up their 2014-2015 season tomorrow at NC State.
