After a thorough investigation, the charges against Syracuse were academic fraud (tutor wrote a paper for Fab Melo), and lack of institutional control for players being paid by a YMCA employee for volunteering there. There was no “plea,” and never any evidence of Syracuse providing financial incentives to recruits. None.
And if you don’t think Kentucky, or an individual on Kentucky’s behalf (WWW) has been paying recruits, you obviously have not been paying attention.
