[I]Syracuse’s men’s basketball team will not play Colgate or Cornell in 2025-26, a departure from decades of playing those two Central New York Division I programs.

Sources from each school confirmed their schedules do not include the Orange. Both programs have coveted that game. It allows them to play a Power Five program by simply getting on a bus and making the hour-long trip to the JMA Wireless Dome.
 
Conversations with Syracuse basketball people indicate the staff has analyzed how teams from other conferences have strategically scheduled in the NET era and has planned for 2025-26 accordingly. The ACC, too, has talked with its teams about scheduling.

Syracuse will play four games in Las Vegas, three of them in the Players Era Festival, where it will face Houston, Kansas and one other team in a tournament that supplies guaranteed money to participants to pay players. SU will also play St. Joseph’s in Las Vegas on that same trip out west.

SU, too, plays Tennessee (again) this season as part of the ACC/SEC Challenge. That game takes place in the JMA Wireless Dome.

The Orange will also face Mercyhurst and Binghamton in the dome. SU will travel to Philadelphia to play Drexel.[/I]
