From Syracuse’s sudden move to the ACC to the Bernie Fine scandal that rocked campus and SU Basketball’s run to the Elite Eight, the 2011-2012 year in Syracuse sports was one of the most memorable. These are the pictures and sounds that defined the year in SU athletics.

Former Syracuse quarterback Greg Paulus has been busy in the sport of basketball since his one-and-done season in 2009. The former Duke point guard became an assistant coach at Navy in August 2010 before getting hired as a video coordinator at Ohio State last May.
At Syracuse, he won four games in Doug Marrone’s first season as head coach, completing 67.7 percent of his passes and throwing for over 2,000 yards and 13 touchdowns.
As Ohio State is preparing for its third-round game against Gonzaga in Pittsburgh, CitrusTV’s David DeGuzman spoke with the Central New York-native on what life’s been like since leaving SU.
