Syracuse Update: Fine Fired, Boeheim and SU Issue Statements. (Will JB Survive?)

[Tugg Speedman]

We'll find out shortly.

[MattyWarrior]

I won't miss him if he's out.

[Lennys Tap]

I'd be shocked.

In June Boeheim was honored as "Father of the year"

Where are you getting your info?  I don't see this anywhere?

Search Twitter for "Boeheim"  everything happens their first.

[GGGG]

Search Twitter for "Boeheim"  everything happens their first.

I'm too busy searching for "Durley" for accurate information....

then Buzz to Cuse...

[TallTitan34]

I don't see anything about a 7:15 press conference?

[IrwinFletcher]

Nothing on the Syracuse Scout board.  

A Tweet that says his job is in trouble is misleading.  HE wouldn't be fired at this point.  If he resigns, that doesn't mean his job was in jeopardy....

[Tugg Speedman]

NYT Reporter Peter Thamel reported 3 hours ago that Boeheim would issue a statement today (which is what I started this thread with).  His source was a Syracuse spokesman.

That has morphed into a 8:15 PM presser, in about 45 minutes.  Their is only one reason to issue a statement today, after ESPN's OTL story this morning.  Further, their is absolutely only reason to hold an 8:15PM ET presser ... Boeheim is out.

As I've posted before, Paterno set a new standard.  If your staff has a molester, you're gone.  Do not try and parse or analyze it, that is the new rule and Boeheim is the first casualty of the "Paterno standard."

(If you want another reason, Syracuse is a public university, just like Penn State.  No politician is going to tolerate him on the state payroll for five seconds.)

the only way i see this happening is if JB decides this is too much and walks away.  he didn't like Cuse leaving the BEAST, he's old, maybe he's just had enough...  doubt it, but it's the only scenario that makes sense to me.

You really think it's fair to compare the two...or to say that anyone with a child molester on their staff is fired?  if they had any idea it was going on i get it, but to just say you're out if it happens seems ridiculous to me.

Do I think it is fair ... no.

But people that get paid with taxpayer money (Paterno, Boeheim) are often held to unreasonable and emotional standards.  That is the way the world works.

Or because they just fired Fine . . .

[Tugg Speedman]

It is official, Fine was fired.  NYT is reporting. 

Boeheim cannot stay after his defense of Fine.  IF the presser happens as rumored in 20 minutes, we'll see if that is all they do.

[texaswarrior74]

ummm...Syracuse is a private school, not a public

[Tugg Speedman]

Remember that Boeheim called Fine's accusers "liars".  Now Fine has been fired.

Again I find it impossible Boeheim stays.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

Makes you wonder how "Pearl" Washington got his nickname.

[GGGG]

I think he will be contrite, but will stay.

ESPN just said Jim is not talking.
