The NCAA has suspended Jim Boeheim for the first nine ACC games of next season and will remove basketball scholarships over the next four years for Boeheim's inability to "monitor his program", according to a 94-page report released on Friday from the Division I Committee on Infractions.
The program will lose three scholarships in each of the next four seasons.
The school will also be forced to vacate any wins in which ineligible athletes participated, the NCAA's release said.
The program will be on probation from the NCAA until March 5, 2020.
It must pay of a fine of $500 per game played by ineligible athletes and give back the NCAA any money it received through the Big East for appearances in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 conference tournaments.
Back on Feb. 4, the university issued a self-imposed one-year, postseason ban for the men's basketball 2014-15 season. That penalty included the ACC Tournament, the NCAA Tournament or the NIT.
The NCAA accepted that ruling, but did not add any additional postseason bans.
"From 2001-02 through 2011-12, the school failed to exercise proper control over the administration of its athletics program and used deficient monitoring systems, which allowed violations to occur involving academics, compliance with its own drug testing policy as well as staff and student relationships with a booster," the NCAA report said.
The NCAA report said that Boeheim "did not promote an atmosphere of compliance within his program". The university engaged in academic misconduct, didn't uphold its own policies on banned substances and received improper benefits, the release said.
The NCAA report indicates that a booster gave more than $8,000 to three football student-athletes and two basketball student-athletes for volunteering at a YMCA.
"Students and staff committed violations freely or did not know that their conduct violated NCAA rules. Many of the violations were not detected for years. Staff members did not ask and ensure that relationships and activities with the booster met NCAA requirements. In at least one instance, a staff member did not report potential academic violations due to concern of retaliation, the NCAA's release said.
Syracuse University chancellor Kent Syverud released a statement on Friday shortly after the ruling.
In a statement, Syverud said that "Syracuse University did not and does not agree with all the conclusions reached by the NCAA, including some of the findings and penalties included in today’s report. However, we take the report and the issues it identifies very seriously, particularly those that involve academic integrity and the overall well-being of student-athletes."
SU began its own investigation back in 2007 when it self-reported potential violations within its athletics department, according to a press release from Syverud back in February.
"Much of the conduct involved in the case occurred long ago and none occurred after 2012," the release said. "No current student-athlete is involved."
Syverud said back in February that the self-imposed ban was a joint decision between himself, head coach Jim Boeheim, athletic director Daryl Gross and the Board of Trustees Athletics Committee.
Syracuse also missed the 1992-93 NCAA Tournament over violations.
