I stumbled across this thread way late, but at least part of it is wrong.*
 
"Look for the SU budget to be expanded in a major way starting next season (it was at $54 million in 2011-12)"
 
No. The budget was $69 million with revenues of $73 million. Go to the DOE's "equity in athletics" site and search for SU's numbers if you don't believe me. Their numbers are from the '11-12 year. That makes me question the $50 million number, too.
 
The numbers from the '12-13 year should see huge jump, given our football team tied for #1 in the BIG EAST and won the Pinstripe Bowl, our basketball team went to the Final Four, our M and W lax team played in the final four (men's was #2), and our athletic dept. finished in the top 40 in the director's cup standings.
 
The number from '13-14 should also see a huge jump, given our change in conference affiliation.

*There used to be a fund raising web page on the SU Athletics site that compared SU's facilities with those of other BIG EAST schools in an effort to stress the need to give money to support our facilities which were lagging at the time. I was looking for that to share with another thread([url]http://syracusefan.com/threads/facilities.60191/[/url]), but found this and thought that I should correct the misstatement in case someone else stumbles upon this in the future.
