Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim suspended by the NCAA: Twitter reacts
By Jack Crosby
Syracuse received some pretty harsh sanctions from the NCAA on Friday and Jim Boeheim took a good brunt of it
Lately it seems as if a lot of people have been disappointed in the sanctions that have been handed down by the NCAA to certain schools, but that was not the case with what happened to Syracuse and head coach Jim Boeheim on Friday.
After their investigation into Syracuse athletics, the penalties were anything but lenient. Most notably, Boeheim was suspended for nine ACC games, something that sent the entire sporting world into shock. A penalty such as that against a head coach sends a pretty stern message to everyone.
Following the announcement of the sanctions by the NCAA, the Twitter world immediately reacted:

Tough day for Jim Boeheim. It's a shame his incompetence as a head coach ends up costing the kids he's currently coaching and recruiting.

I find myself trying to find pity for Boeheim and Syracuse and unsurprisingly, I'm not coming up with any.

So the NCAA is suspending Jim Boeheim for 9 games for something that happened in 2008? The NCAA is a joke

For Jim Boeheim haters, this is like Christmas morning.
