Message: [QUOTE="Moontan, post: 228731, member: 166"] Syracuse University (including its chancellor) looks at athletics as a recruiting tool. Scaling back in this area would likely be part of a plan to reduce the overall size of the university. I do not believe that the chancellor has plans for such actions. The athletic director is focused on on-field/court success. All programs are expected to compete for conference championships, and beyond. If a program is deemed not to be able to compete (due to facilities) it is considered for elimination (e.g. swimming & diving). Any coach that is in a 3-year decline should be concerned about his/her position. [/QUOTE]
