Syracuse University’s decision to self-impose a postseason ban on the men’s basketball team was done in coordination with the NCAA, said SU Chancellor Kent Syverud on Monday.

“I can’t comment any further than what’s in that announcement without, in my view, not honoring the spirit of the NCAA bylaws, which it’s very important for us to comply with,” Syverud said in an interview with The Daily Orange.

On Feb. 4, SU announced a self-imposed one-year postseason ban for the men’s basketball 2014–15 season as part of its pending case in front of the NCAA Committee on Infractions.

The ban includes the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament and postseason tournaments, such as the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament and the National Invitation Tournament. During the time of the announcement, Syverud said in a statement that the decision was made in consultation with the Board of Trustees Athletics Committee and with the support of Director of Athletics Daryl Gross and men’s basketball head coach Jim Boeheim.

“Since I came in January 2014 it’s been very important to me that we comply with all NCAA requirements. One of those requirements is that we not comment on an ongoing investigation until it’s concluded and announced,” Syverud said in the interview. “Therefore I cannot say anymore than I have said about the NCAA investigation.”

The university self-reported potential violations within the athletic department to the NCAA in 2007. According to the university, none of the reported conduct occurred after 2012 and no current student-athletes are involved. University officials attended a hearing in Chicago in October in front of the infractions committee.
