This is why I have such contempt for the level of knowledge of the "board insiders". There is actually zero evidence that this is true, yet it is accepted as a statement of fact around here because people who were fed lines from people inside the program repeated what they were told. Here is the reality: Our portal class was ranked 7th in the ACC and 36th overall. There are roughly 70 P4 teams, meaning our portal class was roughly middle of the pack. We returned two players and brought in zero freshmen who were expected to make an immediate impact. That indicates a level of NIL funding which is below that of the average peer.

Again, I totally understand why you would want to believe this. Red has taken teams that should be in the 20-24 win range and turned in seasons with 5-10 wins below that. Saying NIL is not currently sufficient to compete at the top level is NOT AN EXCUSE for how Red has objectively underperformed with this roster. However, the simple reality is that we did NOT have the NIL funding this year to compete at the level that Syracuse basketball fans have become accustomed to competing at.

But please, continue to buy false narratives that are planted intentionally prior to the season to try to convince you to support a sinking ship. That has clearly worked out great so far.
