Syracuse Drug Scandel

[reinko]

Enjoy the ACC and getting curbstomped in football, and being irrelevant in basketball when Boeheim retires in the next year or 2.

I feel like a good punishment would be to strip them of their 2012 Big East regular season title and bump everyone up a spot.

Should Syracuse come under NCAA scrutiny for drug-testing failures, it would be the latest in a sometimes tumultuous decade for Boeheim's program. Multiple players have had legal or disciplinary issues over that span, including Billy Edelin, Eric Devendorf, Johnny Flynn, Rick Jackson, Josh Wright, Dayshawn Wright, Scoop Jardine and Fab Melo. A previous Yahoo! Sports report also found that a sports agency secured a $50,000 loan for the uncle of then-guard Donté Green, in hopes of signing Green once he departed for the NBA.

Most recently, Syracuse assistant coach Bernie Fine was accused of sexual molestation by a former Orange ball boy and his brother. While charges were not filed against Fine, he was ultimately fired from his coaching position.

From the story ....

The NCAA declined immediate comment when reached by Yahoo! Sports Monday. Boeheim also declined comment.

"I don't know anything about it," Boeheim said. "I would not comment on anything like that. Good luck with your story."

Asked if he had any knowledge of an NCAA investigation, Boeheim again declined comment.

"Obviously, I'm not going to talk about anything at all," he said.

----

After Bernie Fine, and if this story has legs, and the arrogance of the statement above, look for Boeheim to announce this is his last year and hope to pull a "McGuire."

And once Boeheim is gone and they are in the ACC, enjoy battling with Wake Forest and Maryland for fifth place every year and a bubble bid.

Would that be worthy of hanging a banner?

Come to 'Cuse to play ball.

Stay to do yayo off of Mrs. Fine's titties.

I think I'd smoke copious amounts of weed if I was going to school in Syracuse NY.

[BrewCity83]

I heard that Boeheim routinely kept the urine samples on a desk in his basement for several days before getting around to sending them to the testing lab.  I'm sure nothing will ever come of this.

Simply amazing.  Not surprising, just amazing.

If each of us was given a guess who failed a drug test four times, I bet we would all guess the same guy.  (Please don't name names.)

Jim Boeheim's quote: "I don't know anything about it."

Hmm...he doesn't know anything about his players failing drug tests, he didn't know anything about Bernie Fine and his wife molesting children, for such a great coach, he doesn't seem to know much about what's going on in his program 

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Just a hit. 

of smack maybe.

[4everwarriors]

This is all bs

[JD]

Now I'm going to have to watch "Requiem for a Dream" because you brought up smack.  Seems like a helluva drug.

Makes you wonder what Boeheim DOES know - gotta be either incompetent or culpable.
