NCAA investigation: Internship hours, ties between YMCA and Syracuse athletes part of inquiry Syracuse, N.Y. — An internship program that placed Syracuse University athletes at a YMCA in Oneida is part of an inquiry into possible NCAA violations by the school's athletic department. Investigators also asked about a former YMCA employee who had exceptional access to Syracuse men's basketball players and was sued for allegedly misappropriating close to $350,000 from the Y. It is unclear if any of those funds were given to athletes. The NCAA wrapped up its investigation into the Syracuse athletic department at a hearing late last month. Syracuse is awaiting a report by the NCAA detailing what violations, if any, were committed and any potential sanctions that will impact its programs. The school previously said in a statement that issues regarding men's basketball and football "occurred years ago, with the exception of certain issues in basketball occurring between 2010 and early 2012." Possible issues the school said "occurred years ago" include the documentation of internship hours athletes completed at the YMCA, as well as who was responsible for approving those hours, according to sources. The internship was part of a course required to graduate with a degree in Child and Family Studies, a popular major among athletes in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamic. According to university records, 18 percent (24 of 134) of football players were enrolled in that major from 2004-05, the time period which piqued the interest of investigators.
