There hasn't been a whole lot of talk about it but they more than likely be facing some serious problems.

Syracuse University's men's basketball and football programs are under NCAA investigation for allegations, including providing extra benefits and academic issues, that date back at least 10 years, a source said Thursday.
The majority of the allegations -- and the most serious -- involve the men's basketball program. Among the allegations facing the men's basketball team are receiving extra benefits and academic issues, a source said. Those allegations go back about 10 years and are as current as the 2013 season, a source said.

"There were things going on consistently (with the men's basketball program) for a long time," a source said.
Syracuse.com reported part of the basketball investigation focuses on the academic record of Fab Melo, who was suspended in 2012. Also, former teammate James Southerland was suspended briefly for academics in the 2013 season but eventually returned to the team.

Syracuse.com also reported Southerland's suspension was the result of an NCAA investigation into the basketball program's academic records.

Since the NCAA's inquiry began, Syracuse restructured the athletic department's academic services department, which is responsible for keeping athletes academically eligible. The restructuring included at least three employees changing jobs, Syracuse.com reported.

CBSSports.com first reported in March the NCAA's investigation into the men's basketball program.

When investigations require hearings before the Committee on Infractions, it involves the more serious Level I violations and/or Level II violations. NCAA officials will not comment on pending cases.

Syracuse will go before the NCAA's Committee on Infractions in Indianapolis on Oct. 30-31, sources said.

They need to touch bases with UNC to see how they can keep this out of the news and off ESPN!
Move along, move along...nothing to see here...

I have never been a big fan of Boeheim and it will not bother me at all to see him have to vacate his one national championship.

However, it would be a travesty of justice, if they vacated his and not Roy boy's.
