11/18/11: Sorting out the Syracuse Saga




CBS Sports Eye On College Basketball Podcast show

Summary: The sexual-molestation allegations against Syracuse assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine have turned college basketball on its head in the past 24 hours. But this is a story that was first sought to go public in 2003. Syracuse Post-Standard reporter Mike Waters, who's been around the Orange basketball program for 23 years, comes on the podcast to talk about why he and the Post-Standard did not run with this story in 2003, shortly before SU won its first men's basketball championship. And why is this happening now? What of Jim Boeheim's quick and angry denial of all these charges against a man he's known for almost 50 years? Waters and host Matt Norlander address how quickly the story is moving and what needs to be evaluated -- and what we should all wait on -- before the story goes to another level.
