Syracuse men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim issued a public apology Monday morning after accusing three ACC opponents of buying players over the weekend.
“I would like to clarify remarks I made in a conversation I had with a media member following our game on Saturday evening,” Boeheim said in a statement. “I apologize to the schools I mentioned. I believe the ACC member institutions are in compliance with NCAA rules governing Name, Image and Likeness (NIL). It was not my intention to imply otherwise.”
Boeheim made waves Saturday night when he told ESPN’s Pete Thamel that the presence of NIL in the sport and the frequent use of the transfer portal has changed the sport for the worse.
