They waited until they had a shitty team and self-imposed a ban for violations from 8 years ago. Pretty funny.

Yep. And they waited until there was only a month left in the season. They're 70 in RPI, borderline, but sure no championship calibre.

This is convenient; it means they'll have an even number of teams.


The ban includes the NCAA tournament and NIT as well as the ACC tournament for the Orange

What exactly were the violations?

Saw it on espn, snorted and thought the exact same thing. Joke.

How convenient they decide to ban themselves from the postseason when they are a borderline bubble team....just another reason to dislike Syracuse.

Ha, thats the first thing I thought too, way to do it in a year where you are no good and on the outside of the bubble looking in currently.
