Devendorf could be out the remainder of the year. Breaking news here again at Orange::44. Syracuse.com is reporting that the Judicial Board has decided to suspend him from Syracuse for the academic year and kick him off the basketball team for violating the school’s code of conduct. The official written decision is expected to be handed down Thursday, however a source close to Devendorf’s lawyer is reporting to me, as well as Syracuse.com, that that is the news that is expected. Devendorf is already on university probation, and therefore is subject to harsher penalties that he would be if this was his first time. Syracuse.com has outlined the entire situation up until this point well, but this breaking news is not good for basketball fans.
Eric, who has had a tumultuous stint on the team already, was on probation from an earlier incident. He now has five days to appeal the findings, and from the receipt of the appeal, the Judicial Board has ten days to write an appellate decision. In the short term, Devendorf will probably play, but he probably will not be in the future. I’m sure we’ll talk about this tonight, so come back at 9:00pm EST for our Big East Blogger Roundtable.
