"As we said last year at this time, we are collaborating with the NCAA as part of an ongoing inquiry," said Kevin Quinn, Syracuse senior vice president for public affairs. "Given this process is ongoing, we are unable to comment further at this time.”

CBS Sports is reporting that Syracuse University Basketball and football programs are under investigation by the NCAA. Based on what the school says this is older news. Although Quinn describes the school's role as a collaboration, not a cooperation. (Nice thesaurus work) Among the allegations are an alleged 2007 sexual assault involving three athletes, and the academic eligibility of Carmelo Anthony. Apparently, conclusions have already been drawn, if you believe the CBS source. “Throw a dart at the [NCAA] Manual [and you would hit a violation by Syracuse]."CBS says the investigation is not related to allegations made against former assistant coach Bernie Fine, an assistant coach with the basketball team until he quit/was fired last year following an ESPN report which aired interviews with two men who claimed Fine sexually abused them. Fine was never charged with a crime.
