It took nearly a year to clear his name, but former Syracuse Assistant Basketball Coach, Bernie Fine  was cleared of all sex abuse charges.  While charges were dropped, Fine's reputation has been muddied, he lost his job and endured a year unlike any of us have ever seen.

Two days after Syracuse Orangemen assistant coach Bernie Fine was fired for alleged child sex abuse charges, the mens basketball team cruised to an 84-48 win over Eastern Michigan. Head coach Jim Boeheim met with the media following the win and surprisingly took questions after reading a prepared statement.

Penn State isn't the only University embroiled in a sex abuse scandal.  Syracuse Unversity's assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine has been accused of molesting a team ball boy. The abuse allegedly took place for more than a dozen years beginning in the mid-1980s.
