According to Chris Peak of the University of Pittsburgh sports site Panther-Lair.com, when someone asked Boeheim whether people think he runs a “dirty” program, he responded, “I don’t give a s— what those people think.”

Syracuse, the subject of an ongoing NCAA investigation, announced Wednesday that it was instituting a self-imposed penalty that will ban the team from participating in postseason play.

Some observers, including Mike DeCourcy of The Sporting News, pointed out the self-imposed ban has little teeth, as the Orange are 15-8, 6-4, and likely longshots to make the NCAA Tournament.
