Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5369670, member: 405"] OK, since you're ignoring the revenue point, I'll make it for you. If SU were to rejoin the Big East, football would be done. Football, in case you haven't noticed, decides everything. Syracuse would give up 2/3 of its TV income. Our football program would die, and with it, our chances of ever being at the Big Boy Table ever again. Syracuse has 7 men's varsity sports and 11 women's varsity sports. (I'm shocked it's that few, to be honest. The rest are club teams.). Ohio State, for comparison, has twice as many - 36 sports. So, if we cut 2/3 of the budget, we would most likely drop football, and then cut about 4 of the 11 women's sports. So there you go. [/QUOTE]
