One of the lingering questions after the NCAA waylaid Syracuse with a series of penalties earlier this month was whether Jim Boeheim intended to stay on as coach for the duration of the scholarship restrictions
An announcement the school made Wednesday morning provided some clarity.
Boeheim, 70, will retire in three years after the 2017-18 season, Syracuse announced. Earlier in the day, the school fired athletic director Daryl Gross in the wake of lengthy NCAA investigation that uncovered academic misconduct, extra benefits violations and impermissible booster activity in the Syracuse men's basketball program.
If Boeheim sticks to the retirement timetable Syracuse announced, that would mean he will serve his nine-game suspension at the start of next year's ACC slate but will only be around for part of the scholarship restrictions Syracuse will endure. The NCAA will reduce the number of scholarships Syracuse can use by three for four consecutive seasons beginning either for the 2015-16 year or the year after, leavint the Orange with a maximum of 10 scholarship players each of those seasons.
