Louisville got a big break in terms of punishment from the IARP case. The school was alleged of committing one Level I violation and six Level II violations.
In the end, the IARP ruled that the school had committed two level I violations, and the Level II violations were converted to five Level III violations.
The school avoided a postseason ban, but it was hit with two years of probation, a $5,000 fine, and got a small reduction in recruiting days.
BREAKING: Louisville dodges major punishments in IARP case, @CBSSports has learned. No postseason ban, $5,000 fine, small reduction in recruiting days and two years of probation. Rick Pitino, Chris Mack avoid punishment entirely.
Decision will be made public later this AM.

This led to fans being upset about Syracuse men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim. Boeheim was stripped of 108 wins from his career total of 966 back in 2015 after Syracuse committed violations that spanned more than a decade.
Hey @NCAA
Give Jim Boeheim his wins back.

And Jim Boeheim still doesn’t have his wins back.

The NCAA, where the rules are made up and the punishments don’t matter.*

“So apparently everyone* in college basketball can just do whatever they want without repercussions. Cool, cool. *Except Jim Boeheim, who will be suspended for 10 games and lose 69 wins just because I posted this tweet,” another fan tweeted.

Boeheim was also suspended for nine ACC games due to the scandal.
