SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) – Syracuse University announced Wednesday that it has instituted a self-imposed postseason ban for the current men’s basketball season as part of its case pending before the NCAA Committee on Infractions.
The school initiated the case, which includes academics, when it self-reported potential athletic department violations to the NCAA in 2007. School officials said Wednesday none of the conduct occurred after 2012 and no current student-athlete is involved.
The ban also includes the ACC tournament.
Coach Jim Boeheim says he’s disappointed, especially for senior Rakeem Christmas, but supports the decision.
“I believe the university is doing the right thing by acknowledging that past mistakes occurred,” Boeheim said in a statement.
