Very, very sad indeed. They do not know what the cause was.

Fab played for Syracuse, and was also a key factor in Syracuse going on NCAA probation. When I read what transpired at Syracuse, and we are apparently talking about 1 paper, he apparently did not write and compare this to UNC, then UNC deseves like 1 Million years probabation. Just saying...

"NCAA's investigation of Syracuse academic program included the legitimacy of a paper that Melo wrote while at school. The NCAA suspended Boeheim for nine games and imposed harsh sanctions to Syracuse as the result of that investigation.

Melo spent two seasons playing for Boeheim at Syracuse and was part of the Orange team that went 34-3 and 17-1 in the Big East in 2012.

Melo averaged 7.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.9 blocks in the 2011-12 campaign. He was suspended twice during the season -- once for three games during the regular season and again for the NCAA tournament due to academics. Melo's academic eligibility was also part of the NCAA investigation in which the Syracuse program self-imposed a postseason ban for the 2014-15 season."
