I wonder how many of their players will bolt for other programs. Also, I do not see the place which states that they are banned from the NCAA tournament which they should be.

Edit: I wonder how all of those Syracuse sports announcers are feeling right about now..

That's just it, they hand-picked the premier time to take a postseason ban perfectly because it was A) right near the end of the season so the players could not transfer without sitting a year, and B) known for sure that they had a mediocre team that wouldn't do anything worthwhile in the postseason so they weren't sacrificing much from the university perspective.
