The NCAA sanctioned Syracuse University after releasing a 94-page report that found that the director of basketball operations and other staff members had basketball players’ passwords and used the players’ e-mail accounts to pretend to be the players in communication with the players’ professors. The report also found that players received checks and that the drug policy was lax. After an eight-year investigation, the NCAA took away 12 scholarships, gave the basketball coach a nine-game suspension, and took away 108 victories of the coach, a sanction that takes the coach from the number 2 winningest coach in history to number 6. While Syracuse acknowledged the violations, Syracuse Chancellor Kent Syverud responded with the following:

“We believe the NCAA’s investigation of Syracuse University has taken longer than any other investigation in NCAA history. The entire process has taken close to eight years and involved a review of conduct dating back to 2001. By comparison, the investigation into the fixing of the 1919 World Series took two months and the 2007 investigation of steroid use in baseball took 21 months. However, we hope everyone will agree that eight years is too long for an investigation and that a more expeditious and less costly process would be beneficial to studentathletes, public confidence in the NCAA enforcement process, and major intercollegiate athletics in general.”
