The Syracuse University men’s basketball team is under investigation by the NCAA for “major and wide-ranging” violations, part of an investigation that has been going on for “years,” Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com is reporting.

According to the report, the NCAA’s investigation into possible violations of the drug policy has grown larger in scope, but is not related to the alleged sexual abuse case against former assistant Bernie Fine. Syracuse has acknowledged an NCAA investigation previously and the Fine case has already been dismissed by federal authorities.

It should be noted that the suspension of Syracuse forward James Southerland earlier this season was a result of the NCAA looking into the men’s basketball program. Perhaps the most striking quote in Dodd’s report is from a source with knowledge of the investigation:

“Throw a dart at the [NCAA] Manual [and you would hit a violation by Syracuse].”

I'm a lifelong 'Cuse fan and this does not surprise me. Jimmy B has run a loose ship far too long.

Not suprised either.. Off the subject a bit but.. How's the clown @ Kentucky getting away with his recruiting ways and landing the "PRO" team want-a-bee's every year??

I think UK has a system in place that caters to the one and done. That means there's a set carriculum for those players that ensures they remain eligible. Syracuse was trying to keep guys like Devendorf from flunking out for four years. That's not easy...
