Syracuse and Colorado are the only BCS schools in football or men’s and women’s basketball being sanctioned for falling short of the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate cutline of 925.

The Orange’s basketball team scored 912, below the necessary 925, for the first time in program history due to the early departure of several student-athletes, according to a release from SU.  

The team could lose up to two basketball scholarships if academically ineligible players leave school before next season.

The full story is here.

You are now free to mock Syracuse and their "academic standards" incessantly. 

According to ESPN's rumors section:

"Pacers center Roy Hibbert will spend the offseason working on conditioning and improving his low-post game. Assistant coach Dan Burke will be the main person working on developing Hibbert, although another person may be brought in to help out.

Mike Wells of The Indianapolis Star reports the Pacers want to bring in a big man coach to work with their center during the summer and there's a chance that Boston's Hall of Fame forward/center Kevin McHale could work with Hibbert."

Here's hoping McHale can teach Big Roy how to stop picking up cheap fouls.

Gottlieb gave grades to college basketball teams' seasons today...

http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/insider/columns/story?columnist=gottlieb_doug&id=5066498

Grade: C The Hoyas recovered from last year's collapse, only to get embarrassed in the tourney by Ohio, the seventh-place team from the MAC.

Mind you, Minnesota gets a C+ (with the qualification, "They did beat Butler") and Notre Dame gets a B-.  But oh yeah, Doug.  Georgetown...the only team in the country to beat BOTH teams in the NCAA finals, and a team that made an unexpected run to the BET finals...definitely a "C" team this year.

Surprise, surprise.  Gottlieb still hates the Hoyas, and is still an idiot.
