The NCAA announced Tuesday that Southern Methodist head coach Larry Brown would be suspended nine games for lack of head coach control. Brown will be allowed to coach in SMU’s American Athletic Conference games, while Jim Boeheim, who was hit with a failure-to-monitor charge, was suspended for the first nine games of Atlantic Coast Conference play.

Brown was charged with being untruthful when he first learned of violations at SMU, something Boeheim wasn’t charged with in Syracuse’s case.

ESPN reported Boeheim will appeal his suspension based on Brown’s suspension, while Boeheim told Syracuse.com that’s not the case. For further comparisons of SMU and SU, read the full breakdown here.

Even though Boeheim said he will not appeal based on Brown’s punishment, should he? Let us know what you think in the poll and in the comment section below.
