Syracuse chancellor Kent Syverud issued a statement to the university community notifying it of the news Wednesday.

"Coach Boeheim has also told me that he intends to retire as Head Coach in three years," Syverud said. "His goal in making this decision and announcement now is to bring certainty to the team and program in the coming years, and enable and plan for a successful, longer-term transition in coaching leadership. Coach Boeheim's commitment to ensuring that the men's basketball program remains strong even after his tenure is just one more example of his deep loyalty to our University."
