SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim will retire in three years and the university’s athletic director has resigned, the school announced Wednesday following a scathing NCAA report that imposed sanctions for violations that lasted more than a decade.

Chancellor Kent Syverud said that Boeheim, a Hall of Famer and head coach for 39 years, decided to make the announcement to “bring certainty to the team and program in the coming years” and allow for a smooth transition.

Athletic director Daryl Gross will take another marketing position with the school, while Pete Salas will serve as interim A.D.
